List of indoor volleyball World Champions
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

To be named a world champion, one has to actually win the World Championship. Although there are 3 major international volleyball events (including the World Cup and the Olympics), all 3 are different and only the World Championship gives the title 'World Champion'. The others entitele a World Cup winner (not a World Champion) and Olympic winner/gold medallist, respectively. The article has no reference, there is no such definition conducted by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), and overall has no credibililty whatsoever. Additionally, a Wikipedia page where this distinction is made can be found at List of indoor volleyball world medalists. This story shows the list of all major volleyball medallists. Hence, also discussed in the Talk tab of the page, the article List of indoor volleyball World Champions should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YavorDimitrov (talk • contribs) 20:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: I find it very hard to stomach an article with no references, because someone could have made up the whole thing. I can't even determine whether most of the info is probably true.  Who says? This is supposed to be a scholarly article.  Sbalfour (talk) 20:58, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
