 * Delete - Redundant list of athletes that is already available elsewhere.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:29, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - More of SvG's bot-created articles. All redundant. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note Articles are not bot-created. Lists meet notability standards, why are they redundant? Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 13:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Nimrodbr (talk) 09:26, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Why? Whoever is closing this should ignore this vote unless an explanation is provided. Smartyllama (talk) 01:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep
 * 1) Not a valid reason for deletion. The information might be found on seperate other pages, but a list page is made to have an overview. All the information of notable lists on Wikipedia can be found on other Wikipedia pages. Example UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Women's omnium.
 * 2) The weightlifters lists by previous discussions: see Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2006 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2007 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2010 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2011 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2003 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 1998 World Weightlifting Championships, Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 1999 World Weightlifting Championships,
 * 3) The cycling and Olympic lists all meet WP:LISTPEOPLE
 * 4) The List of Dutch Olympic cyclists and other Olympic lists are the same kind of list as List of Olympic female gymnasts for Canada, List of Australian Winter Olympians, List of Olympic men's ice hockey players for Canada, List of Olympic women's ice hockey players for Canada, List of Olympians and Paralympians from Peel, Ontario, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Bulgaria, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Australia, List of Olympic female gymnasts for France, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Great Britain, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Hungary, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Italy, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Romania, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Russia, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Spain, List of Olympic female gymnasts for the Soviet Union, List of Olympic female gymnasts for Ukraine, List of Olympic female gymnasts for the United States, List of Olympic women's ice hockey players for Finland, List of Olympic women's ice hockey players for the United States, List of New Zealand rowers at the Summer Olympics, List of Salvadorian Olympians, List of 49er class sailors at the Summer Olympics, List of sailors at the Summer Olympics (alphabetically) (do I need to list more?)

 * 4 there is a difference. These are all inclusive across all years. The lists nominated for discussion are for one specific year. I am retroactively withdrawing two of the nominations: List of Turkish weightlifters and List of Dutch Olympic cyclists. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:06, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * A list for all competitors at the 2016 Summer Olympics would be too long. A list of competitors at the different sports are great and valuable. There can be found for instance which cyclists participated at road and track events (see List of cyclists at the 2012 Summer Olympics). This kind of inforamtion is hardly to find somewhere else.

 * Keep the ones of the form list of x at the xxxx summer olympics. SvG's arguments on those are convincing, and they do add real value to wikipedia even if they are redundant.  Weak Keep the UCI cyclist articles for the same reason, but they are less valuable to wikipedia.  No opinion on the other nominated articles.  Tazerdadog (talk) 22:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Double info, failure - as usual - to give independent sources The Banner talk 02:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete most but keep the ones for the Olympics. Consensus is that these things are notable the Olympics, but not for single-sport events. Smartyllama (talk) 01:05, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all – mass created spam articles, just like the other billion that have wasted peoples' time at AfD. Laurdecl talk 01:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
