List of college sports teams in the United States with different nicknames for men's and women's teams

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list doesn't appear to pass WP:LISTN or WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The closest I could find to discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources is this, but that's only one and it's more of "here are some examples" than "here is a list". I think the topic could be covered adequately at List of college team nicknames in the United States or Athletic nickname. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 19:39, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I am actually the creator of this list, although I have no recollection of creating it (I did it 10 years ago). I also on further reflection think my method of creation was horrible, in that I created an article with no sources. I have to say that this is a far better list than the one of team nicknames, which does not even start to scratch the surface of name changes over time. For example, the University of Utah used to have Redskins as its nickname, Wayne State University used to be the Tartars, Eastern Michigan University used to be the Chippewas, and there are lots of other changes. The team nicknames page has no sources. This has three, but considering the size of the article that is non-sensically small. I am also not 100% sure that team nickname non-uniformity is always found in the men's/women's team divides, or if there are some notable cases of other forms of non-uniformity. I would like to see more sources on the subject as a whole before we justify any of these articles. Making this article was one of my worst forayas into creating articles that Wikipedia does not need.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per the article creator. Bishonen &#124; tålk 20:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC).
 * Speedy Delete as fails WP:NLIST (no sources treat this as a group) and the creator of the article agrees this should be deleted. Vladimir.copic (talk) 07:29, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete In addition to what has been said above, the WP:LEAD at List of college team nicknames in the United States says If two nicknames are given, the first is for men's teams and the second for women's teams, unless otherwise noted., making this a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of that page.
