List of sports clichés
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, such as a list of supposedly clichéd phrases. Furthermore, the contention that each member of this list has become clichéd is POV, and contains large elements of original research. NatusRoma | Talk 20:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or transfer to wikibooks or wikisource. Very interesting list which should be available somewhere, if not on Wikipedia.Hektor 20:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * delete Sports cliches? This page could grow to end up being larger than the rest of wiki combined! --Bachrach44 20:58, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think there's a little more of a debate that could take place with the other lists of cliches, but this article doesn't even make really clear what exactly it's about. Cliches from...sports announcers? Players? Interviewers? Coaches? Relating to media or gameplay? Thunderbunny 22:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Transwiki &mdash; RJH 15:41, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. (No other option makes sense.)  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 00:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep article could prove useful with a little work and consensus. Cliche's are notable. --The_stuart 04:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this one is rather dumb...  Grue   14:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it's potentially useful, though very badly executed at the moment --Happydrifter 14:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or transwiki to Wikisource. Not encyclopaedic material, and currently a poorly-defined list with POV criteria for inclusion. Notability also questionable. See WP:LC. Stifle (talk) 15:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be a bad faith nomination as cliches are generally notable. - CNichols 19:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as inherently POV topic and title. See how the article cliché clearly states the decision to classify anything as "cliché" is POV. LjL 20:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
