List of sporting events

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Indiscriminate collection of info, so violating WP:NOT - ALL events in ALL sports? There is already Category:Sports events or even Category:Current sports events available instead Paulbrock 01:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of baseball-related deletions.   —X96lee15 03:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt to taste. Face it... the list can't possibly be maintained, and it's a complete mess. And I'm speaking as a contributor to this mess. — Dale Arnett 02:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete As Dale Arnett said, there's no way in hell to possibly be able to maintain that mess, and it'd be way too big to really be of any use. fuzzy510 04:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete now way to maintain a list like this also not salt. Oysterguitarist 04:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a terrible list as is, but this is what categories are for. The article doesn't provide any information that the category can't. Calgary 05:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this has the potential to be an infinite list. Should this contain every single sporting event to ever ever happen?  Alex Rodriguez grounded out in the 10th inning of the Angels/Yankees game last night.  Should that be mentioned in this article?  It is a sporting event, after all.

 * Delete We have categories for this sort of thing. (And when we're done here, can we move on to List of sports?) - Eron Talk 18:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and blast with the Death star laser canon This article is unmantainable and would grow to insanely large porportions. This is what categories are for. DBZROCKS Its over 9000!!! 22:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wonderful list, but "it's been done". Since there is a category (2 even), add anything from the list that isn't already in the category.  Categories work better than lists like this, in that the link to the category is visible at the end of an article. Mandsford 00:39, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Whatever It looks like this list will be deleted anyway, even though I would still like to see it exist.  Do what ever you want to it.  Perakhantu 17:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and SALT please! This is what categories are for!  Burntsauce 18:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
