Strongly against. Formula One is a commericial, televisiual sport, unlike many other sports such as football and cricket. In the event, whilst the article is becoming a little trivial, a rewrite of the prose section would definitely help. Spa-Franks (talk) 00:31, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong speedy delete – Per nom. This is literally nothing except a TV guide, with most references being the broadcaster's TV guides themselves. Twirly Pen (Speak ^up) 05:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Of minimal use I would have thought. Eagleash (talk) 08:44, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am certainly for deleting the useless F1 race rights article, but this one I find quite interesting, even though it could use some work. Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:26, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was about to put my foot in my mouth by saying "Great! This makes it easier looking for world feeds" now that some races are no longer free to air locally... however, I say keep because this commercial aspect is a pillar of the sport and the success or failure of feeds by country has also seen F1 races come and go from the calendar. Hope this makes sense. Very thorough and not just a TV guide in my humble opinion but agree it could do with some re-work. CtrlXctrlV (talk) 14:49, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And just how are, say, the identities of the Albanian, Macedonian, Montenegrin and Korean broadcasters relevant to that and in fact to the English language wikipedia? T v x1 16:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant enough for those countries to be involved in F1 and F1 organizers letting them signup? Remember that Korea and Azerbaijan etc would have been on your list too in the past. Besides, knowledge is universal, and not just in English otherwise this Wiki would not be containing international matters related to non-English speaking countries.

Weak Keep. There's a lot of junk on that page (do we seriously need a list of pit lane reporters?), but the subject of sporting broadcasters does seem to scrape over the notability hurdle. I know WP:Other stuff exists isn't meant to be an argument, but we do have a whole of articles of broadcasters for top level sporting events. QueenCake (talk) 15:29, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, just having a look here, many other sports leagues have a "List of Broadcasters" page. I find this interesting and useful to find out information from. I would hardly call this a TV guide. CDRL102 (talk) 20:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Needs work but it's worth keeping per similar articles for other sports. It's plainly not a TV guide. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:02, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Interesting and useful information, I don't see that this is 'simply' a TV guide. ARDawson (talk) 12:15, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
