List of North American professional sports teams by type of name

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page seems rather ridiculous to me, and I have spent a lot of time on it. Where does it end, should the Canadian Football League be included in it, why not minor league sports, or university? It is entirely original research (understanding that most of it is entirely self evident), however I don't think that a page listing all pro sports teams by arbitrary grouping of team name is really necessary. I also don't believe that the grouping of team names is a particularly notable topic in its own right either. kelapstick(bainuu) 20:17, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR. Somebody with way too much time on their hands came up with their own classifications (livestock?). Clarityfiend (talk) 01:42, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is too hilarious to be serious. It's entirely unencyclopaedic wp:listcruft. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 01:18, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. As above, it's listcruft. It has a useful place in the world, but that place is a sports fansite and not Wikipedia. Aspirex (talk) 06:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
