The result was keep. Note, however, that, per WP:RSEX, Wikipedia articles aren't reliable sources, so citations for this list would be a good idea in general; per WP:V and WP:BLP, they would be required for challenged material or contentious material about living people. — TKD::Talk 05:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Requesting deletion based on Articles_for_deletion/List_of_sportspeople_by_nickname due to BLP concerns Corpx 06:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Query. Could you be a bit more specific about these "BLP concerns"? In a quick scan of the list, nothing horrendous leaped out at me. Deor 14:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It does not have to be horrendous. None of these are cited.  Corpx 19:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep we don't do precedents... the article should have stricter standards for citing sources though. --W.marsh 02:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * These are trivial to cite, by the way, I've done 3 in like minutes of work. Much more satisfying than trying to sweep content under the rug. --W.marsh 02:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The majority of these nicknames are mentioned in the WP articles for the individuals, and I think that's where the sources should be cited. (If they were cited in this list, the citations would obviously double the length of the article.) Indeed, many of them, such as "Bing" and "Bix", are present in article titles. The list is merely a handy reverse directory—and, please, don't jump in with a reference to WP:NOT because I used the word—of the bynames. Any unsourceable ones can be summarily deleted.

 * Note. See Deletion review/Log/2007 August 3 for a review of an article deletion that the nom cited as the only rationale for this AfD. Deor 04:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep as per Wmarsh and Deor. Mandsford 16:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, but remove the nicknames of couples. This is not a gossip rag.Bearian 18:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
