List of American and Canadian cities by minor professional sports franchises

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

1)It was created years ago by an account that has not been active since 2012. 2)A better page with more guidelines has been created at List of minor sports teams in the United States by city and is actually listed by the census metro areas it is linked to (i.e., San Jose is part of the San Francisco Bay Area on the official census). 3)Is named US and Canada, yet there are no Canadian cities listed. 4)The page is very outdated and does not specify how minor a minor league team should be (there are at least 100 minor league baseball teams if you count AZ leagues and college summer leagues and independent leagues). 5)It has been orphaned since its creation with no attempts at integration, the above mentioned page has been created since then and is slightly better (only a bit).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nom. For the United States, it simply duplicates another list that already exists — and it completely fails to actually contain any Canadian-related content at all, so there's no Canadian-based reason to keep it either. If there's a desire for a similar Canadian list, that should be started as a separate list rather than trying to weld it into a merged Canada+US one. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Redundant and misleading. Don't lump us Canucks with them damn Yankees. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
