Talk:List of sportspeople with nicknames

3 Questions
Three questions: First, in each entry on the list is a country. Does this represent the country the player played in or the country of birth? Second, how exhaustive of a list is this? There are tens and tens of Chicks, Reds, Rubes and Docs. Should all of them be compiled regardless of how long they played or how significant their career was? I would vote yes. Third, should players' names who don't have a page on Wikipedia such as Bing Miller be formatted as a link to a non existant page or just be plain text? Chitownfcko 14:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

List of sportspeople by nickname → List of sportspeople with nicknames – First of all, the current title falsely implies that all sports people have nicknames. Second of all, this list is not sorted by nickname, so it does not make sense to say "by nickname". Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 23:53, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Support – nomination makes perfect sense to me, I think this is the most suitable title to use. Sean Stephens (talk) 09:44, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
