List of sister tennis players by nation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:LISTN, there are no sources that group sister tennis players together that I can find, thus the article is WP:OR. TheMagikCow (T) (C) 17:19, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I've added it to Category:Sibling duos for now but the reason why this may fail WP:CLN, and not belong in that category, is that this doesn't seem to be a list of sisters who played together, as a doubles duo. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:17, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - I disagree with the interpretation of WP:LISTN + the notion that there are no references to support such a list. See also List of professional sports families as well as references such as USA Today, Athlon Sports & Life, Sportster, Sports Illustrated to start. There are plenty more based on a cursory US-based Google search. Article could use expansion, not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 20:38, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would also support renaming the article to something like List of tennis players who are sisters - the current title seems off. Hmlarson (talk) 20:40, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Those sources are not specific to tennis, they support the inclusion of List of professional sports families - not the tennis players. I can't find any sources listing tennis playing sisters, which means that it fails WP:LISTN. TheMagikCow (T) (C) 15:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Really? I can and provided two tennis-specific references as examples to get started. Article could use expansion, not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 05:38, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The only source that covered a general overview of siblings was USA Today. This discusses the idea of tennis double siblings, not sisters. WP:LISTN requires for the idea of tennis sisters to be discussed as a set or group, and I can find no examples of this. Further, the one source is not enough. as required by LISTN, to be sources.

 * Delete This is a list by non-defining characteristic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:59, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The list does not seem to be based on any clear sources or explain the notability of the subject. As an aside there are obvious gaps at present (eg Maud Watson and Lilian Watson). Dunarc (talk) 15:30, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed that this is a non-notable topic. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:20, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
