The result was   Delete and redirect. JmaJeremy's comment that the article started life as a redirect and should be returned to it is true...except the redirect was at Indian sports. Sgxi moved Indian sports to Indian Sports Teams & Players midway through his creation of this article; that is the logical return-to-redirect, not this term. Therefore I have deleted Indian Sports Teams & Players and recreated as a redirect Indian sports, redirecting to Sport in India, its original target.

Indian Sports Teams & Players

A completely unencyclopaedic article. I know using 'unencyclopaedic' is a circular argument but this article really doesn't make any sense. It contains some cherry picked national teams and sports-persons of India, maintaining their records. Wikipedia is not a directory, and I don't think given content can be merged with any correlated articles (like sport in India). undefined — Bill william compton Talk   16:48, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - This seems to be a rather arbitrary collection of results. -- Whpq (talk) 14:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of Indiscriminate information. INDISCRIMINATE -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 19:59, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sport in India. The article started as a redirect in 2007 and remained virtually unchanged until this month when a single editor began filling it with disjointed and loosely correlated information over a series of 42 revisions. It seems like it was done in good faith, perhaps with the false assumption that a redirect should eventually be turned into a full article.  —JmaJeremy  ✆  ✎  00:16, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sport in India. Not the most likely of titles, but we may as well keep it as a redirect. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 00:31, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
