Contested bold merge. Special branding given for a single network's early-afternoon college football telecasts beginning this season. Not enough notability to sustain a proper Wikipedia article at this time. Can be mentioned on Fox College Football in passing, but is otherwise a routine game. The accompanying pre-game show (Big Noon Kickoff) is a bit more notable in my opinion, and can be expanded into something a bit more complete.

Article creator attempted to compare this article to Saturday Night Football. I however disagree, as that is a major primetime game that almost always features a marquee matchup, and has been a historic part of ABC's schedule for at least 13 seasons now. This, however, is just an upstart and is not distinctly notable enough to deserve its own article. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:43, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fox College Football 97% of folks will refer to this casually as 'the noon game on Fox', no matter how well the branding is; same as it's always been with ESPN and ABC (and the press release stating Fox's biggest game would air at this time is just hyperbole; no broadcast network ever going to air Western Nebraska A&M vs. Southwest Virginia Tech in this timeslot). And no...we're not accepting another article which is just a bad intro with another schedule/score list nobody will care about 12 years down the line (that's been deleted).

This should probably have been a merge request and not an AfD, but merge as the telecast is not notable apart from its network. SportingFlyer T·C 04:41, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fox College Football. It is better than totally deleting the content. Ktrimi991 (talk) 10:20, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
