Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of FIFA Women's World Cup broadcasters

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete‎. I'm not seeing a policy-based reason to keep this article. There are reasonable arguments to keep pages about broadcasting rights for single years, such as 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup broadcasting rights; however, those arguments do not cover a list of broadcasters in every country in every year.

Just another case of WP:LISTCRUFT to appeal to the small minority of ardent fans. The subjects are not described as a group, failing WP:LISTN. Additionally WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:ROUTINE. As with sources per WP:RS if these are not unsourced or dead links, a big portion of these are WP:PRIMARY and announcments; not helping this list to assert notability.

Delete – Per nom. Svartner (talk) 19:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:ROUTINE don't apply here (this isn't a database and ROUTINE is either about events or specific coverage, and WP:LISTN might be satisfied as FIFA does list them all on their website, though I could not quickly find an article with a list of broadcasters by country, common for Europe. LISTCRUFT is also very close to an "I don't like it" argument. However, there's more at play here - the 2019 and 2023 editions have their own pages. The 2019 one could use a little work but the 2023 one is well done. Removing this page would remove the information for the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, which probably need their own pages. So this probably doesn't need to exist, but we can't do a double merge to non-existent articles. SportingFlyer T·C 21:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LISTN would not be satisfied if FIFA is the one distributing the details, hence WP:PRIMARY, hence not independent. Conyo14 (talk) 22:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with sourcing from [1] and [2]. Esolo5002 (talk) 04:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
these two are guide to how to watch, thus WP:NOTGUIDE. SpacedFarmer (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not guide is not about sourcing. Are the publications unreliable? Esolo5002 (talk) 20:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not say unreliable but these source does not help it to assert notability. SpacedFarmer (talk) 22:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have not provided a reason for why. WP:NOTGUIDE is about Wikipedia, not about sources. Please provide a different Wikipedia rule. Esolo5002 (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have you looked at the quality of the sources? You think dumping any WP:RANDOM will make it pass notability guidelines. SpacedFarmer (talk) 12:37, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again the thing you have linked to me talks about accessing a random page on Wikipedia, and talks nothing about sourcing. I would recommend reviewing the links you are sending before pressing reply. I am trying to understand your argument. Esolo5002 (talk) 14:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The nom has been continually nominating articles about previously broadcasted sporting events at AfD using basically WP:IDLI arguments. Sometimes the AfDs are correct on sourcing grounds, sometimes the grounds for deletion are a bit more spurious. SportingFlyer T·C 17:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 17:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTATVGUIDE. Govvy (talk) 08:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article is a mess, but 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup broadcasting rights demonstrates there is substantial and well-sourced coverage on the topic. Walsh90210 (talk) 23:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Subject does not meet the WP:LISTN as the broadcasters aren't discussed as a group. Let'srun (talk) 22:04, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
