Indian tennis players

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

A baseless list. What are the criteria of inclusion and therefore exclusion? This is not a historical list like List of English cricket and football players or List of Israel international footballers. Wikipedia is not a directory. undefined — Bill william compton Talk   05:18, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename List of Indian tennis players and delete their performances and rankings. It's not Wikipedia's job to track them, as a group, in every non-major tournament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarityfiend (talk • contribs)
 * Delete a bit of hodge podge of ideas would really be better starting again as a straight List of Indian tennis players. MilborneOne (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I think this list serves no purpose whatsoever on Wikipedia.--Zananiri (talk) 10:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Some of the comments at Articles for deletion/List of professional tennis players from India (which resulted in delete on 7 April 2011) are applicable here: "While the topic is a legitimate one for a list, the article as currently written is poorly formatted and organized. ... -- Metropolitan90." We do have Category:Indian tennis players, but that doesn't list all indian tennis players in one location, so this topic may have some value in Wikipedia. I didn't find any other "nationality intersected with tennis" list articles deleted, but I don't know whether we have any nationality intersected with tennis list articles. For example, there's no List of Australian tennis players. Category:Lists of tennis players seems to be limited to players in specific tennis events. If a List of Indian tennis players list looked more like List of female tennis players but with references, I think it could be a keeper. However, like in the AfD for List of professional tennis players from India, I think the topic still needs to wait for someone who can format and organize. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
