List of Diaspora sports clubs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a directory. I can't imagine what purpose this list could realistically serve. The number of ways to combine social sports clubs is almost limitless, and the immense scope (any diaspora; any country; any sport) makes this list problematic. Slashme (talk) 11:40, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment Some of the entries look rather dubious as well, many (e.g. Dundee United F.C.) may have been set up by immigrants but no longer have the same association with an immigrant community. Similarly, it includes internal migrations within the UK, which is debatable - why not other countries? I suspect there are probably books and certainly articles on the topic, but a comprehensive list may not be the best way to cover the topic - an article instead maybe. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:29, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not an encyclopedic list, fails WP:NOTDIR and some original research issues as well. Ajf773 (talk) 18:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:LISTN as well as multiple issues already raised Spiderone  21:50, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 08:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - some of the information is indeed useful but it should be included in the individual club articles. Many of the inclusions seems to fail WP:OR and WP:SYNT. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 01:49, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I only created it as many of these were erroneously listed in List of sports clubs playing in the league of another country. Maybe it should not be a list and convert it to an article but to be honest I never receive any help and everyone is favour of deleting as easier to do that than actually fix it and it'll be me vs. about 10 others who are keen on mass deleting articles. I have added some sources, but again it is just me doing so and what's the point as nearly every article which is less than perfect will get deleted anyway eventually.
