Proposing for deletion as this TV channel does not exist and it never replaced Fox Sports 505 as the article suggests. Otchiman ( talk) 11:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment: The following sources indicate Fox Sports 505 is still in operation [1] [2] [3]. In the main article Fox Sports (Australia) the channel is referred to as a Pop Up channel on Fox Sports 505. There is confusion as per Fox Sports branding guidelines "channels will be flavoured with code colours, icons and content regularly or 24 hours a day" [4]. Therefore, in the case of Fox Sports 505 during Netball games the channel logo is flavoured with a purple Fox Sports logo [5] however if the channel is showing Cricket for example the logo will be flavoured to reflect this [6]. Fox Sports does dedicate some channels to a particular sport such as Fox Sports News (Australia), Fox League, Fox Footy and Fox Cricket. These channels only broadcast Sports News, NRL, AFL and Cricket respectively and are branded under these names and referred to as such in the TV Guides 24/7. The same is not true for Fox Sports 505 which shows various sports and is referred to as Fox Sports 505 in TV Guides. Otchiman ( talk) 07:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting seeking more input. I'm a bit confused by the nomination as the article states that Fox Netball was launched in 2022. Are you saying that it doesn't exist as a separate TV channel? Because it does seem to exist in some form.

comment: Correct Fox Netball does not exist as separate TV channel and thus never replaced Fox Sports 505 as the article indicates . When Fox Sports 505 is showing netball the Fox Sports 505 channel logo is changed to a Fox Netball logo. Otchiman ( talk) 03:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply

• Merge to Fox Sports (Australia). The article as it is reeks of a GNG failure. There isn't much to merge, per se, but the listing of the 505 channel should note that the channel is possibly? branded as Fox Netball when presenting such content.

• Merge to Fox Sports (Australia). Doesn't pass WP:GNG, which isn't surprising since this seems to just be an occasional re-branding of another channel. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 14:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
