List of sports announcers
Woefully incomplete and offers no utility beyond Category:Sports announcers. Al 18:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, definitely a job for a category (and probably some addl subcategories by sport) &mdash; Lomn | Talk / RfC 18:48, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. users who wont use the requested articles pages will use this. categories dont have entries w/o articles, or room for brief notes. Nateji77 18:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see why Wikipedia could cater to those too lazy to use Requested Articles, and I don't know what brief notes could be useful enough to justify a list in this case. Category forever! Lord Bob 01:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. --Metropolitan90 01:51, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, its kinda helpful to know what sport these people cover. Kappa 01:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You mean like Category:Baseball announcers or Category:Golf announcers?
 * Weak Keep but move to List of noteable sports announcers or some variation of that. Vegaswikian 05:56, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer it if the word notable was spelled correctly. ;) By the way. We won't list notable sports announcers anyway, so the notable bit is sort of implied in the title. - Mgm|(talk) 10:09, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you mean "we won't list non-notable sports announcers anyway..."
 * Delete. List is overly broad, and just a bad idea anyway because it lumps all sports and all broadcast media (radio and TV) together.  Should also include all notable dead sports announcers too, so just use categories instead. Quale 06:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but organise by date or Country to make it useful --TimPope 17:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another list that really adds nothing/little that can't be better done by a category. --Daveb 12:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Easier to just use category to keep updated. This list is almost like a solution looking for a problem. -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 22:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
