One-off program lacking in non-routine coverage. Could redirect or merge to Monday Night Football#2024 summary as an WP:ATD. Esolo5002 (talk) 20:08, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: to the Monday Night Football article. It's gotten about as much coverage as the Toy Story version (that was quickly forgotten), this would likely be headed in the same direction. Oaktree b (talk) 21:07, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~Monday Night Football#2024 summary~~ESPN Megacast#Funday Football. A single line explaining how it went is fine enough. I'd also be open to eventually having a list of these types of >games, List of animated NFL games or similar. Conyo14 (talk) 23:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not surprised to see this nomination, but I don't think we're going to see a delete here since trying to get a Simpsons subject matter article removed/redirected...well, I think we all know how hard that is (see how we're still trying to get action on two-review sourced Family Guy episode articles from seasons ago even now). We really need to create an article that sums up NFL alternate broadcasts (including the Nickelodeon versions) that will properly catalog them in an appropriate way. Placing this in the MNF article as a sentence I don't think is an elegant solution (the Toy Story broadcast was a one-off of an international NFL game on Sunday morning while this was clearly upfront much more).

To me I think it’s best to merge with Manningcast since it’s considered as a MNF alternative broadcast) since we can just make another paragraph in listing and mentioning both the Toy Story and Simpsons funday football there Hoopstercat (talk) 19:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Does it have anything to do with Manningcast though? SportingFlyer T·C 19:45, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not part of the Manningcast. Such content is on ESPN Megacast#Funday Football instead. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:12, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge worth mentioning somewhere here, but it's new and currently falls afoul of WP:NOTNEWS. SportingFlyer T·C 00:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, fails WP:NSPORTSEVENT at this time. Hatman31 (he/him · talk · contribs) 17:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that I think the better target would be the appropriate section of the ESPN Megacast article, which it seems more relevant to than the general MNF page. Hatman31 (he/him · talk · contribs) 07:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to ESPN Megacast#Funday Football instead. Editors are welcome to improve that article. In any case, we should treat the concept of ESPN Megacasts/alternative broadcasts as a series that does not merit standalone articles to individual episodes/broadcasts. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:12, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the above Andre🚐 03:02, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which one? There are two targets being suggested. Conyo14 (talk) 06:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to either target, I slightly prefer ESPN Megacast#Funday Football. The important thing is that this separate article is not needed. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per many users above. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:57, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: We have even numbers for two different Redirect/Merge target articles so I'm relisting to try to determine which would be preferable.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:20, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, after reviewing this I also agree that ESPN Megacast#Funday Football is probably a slightly better merge target than my previous proposal. Esolo5002 (talk) 06:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That also seems the best merge target to me. SportingFlyer T·C 02:01, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I agree. Conyo14 (talk) 22:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with ESPN Megacast#Funday Football: Not enough lasting coverage for this to have a standalone article. Merge any info not already in the parent article as a WP:ATD. Let'srun (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
