Checking against the GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    "a company formed by the merger of Rupert Murdoch's Sky Television and British Satellite Broadcasting" - did Murdoch own British Satellite Broadcasting? This sentence makes it sound like he owned both anyway
    "but their case was thrown out of the High Court" - link High Court of Justice
    "Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds United, Liverpool" - link Everton FC and Leeds United
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    No original research found.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I couldn't find any issues with this article when reading through it. It is comprehensive, well written and well sourced. Since it meets the criteria, I see no reason to put this on hold. Nice work JAGUAR  19:40, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge articles?[edit]

Suggest merging with Foundation of the Premier League since the two things are inextricably linked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.26.149.105 (talk) 15:19, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Foundation of the Premier League into Broadcasting and the foundation of the Premier League[edit]

Both topics are intertwined greatly. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 13:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A merge seems fine, but Foundation of the Premier League is the broader topic and so should be the target. I note the difference in rated article quality, but don't feel that that should determine the merge direction. Klbrain (talk) 11:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with both Klbrain's points. jnestorius(talk) 17:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
