List of Hindu sportspeople

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unless these people are somehow obstructed from participating normally in sports because of their religion, this is a non-notable intersection. If this was a category, it would likely be deleted as overcategorization by religion and ethnicity. Deleting as list. Bulldog123 04:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Delete if and when List of Jews in sports is deleted. Peter Ballard 05:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It was nominated in November 2005, with a result of "No consensus". See Articles for deletion/List of Jews in sports. You may also wish to see the movie Airplane! =) cab 05:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Nominate it if you wish. It roughly has the same argument for deletion as this list. However, I warn you. Jewish anything on wikipedia is almost impossible to delete. Lots of "fans" of these lists and categories exist. That's why so many are nominated and almost always end in no consensus. If you want to prevent WP:BIAS and nominate it, then go ahead, but good luck. Bulldog123 15:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete "Hindu" refers solely and strictly to religion, NOT ethnic heritage or nationality. I checked the articles of the first ten individuals on the list - only one of those articles even has the word "Hindu" in it, and in that one, the word's part of a category!! There is absolutely no attribution that any of the individuals I checked practise Hinduism. I suspect few or none of the rest are attributed. This is therefore an unattributed list on a non-notable topic. -- Charlene 06:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A list of sports personalities by religion is a case of WP:NOT.  Loosely related, indeed.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete invalid intersection. Carlossuarez46 16:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
