 * Hello, please explain yourself a bit. All weightlifters at the world championships are appear to be notable. It's with these pages easy to get the information from a specific country who are participating. The same kind of lists are for the UCI Road World Championships and the UCI Track Cycling World Championships at Category:Lists of cyclists like the List of elite cyclists at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships, List of junior cyclists at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships, List of under-23 cyclists at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships and List of entrants at the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships. So you should also nominate these pages for AfD. And also List of cyclists at the 2012 Summer Olympics, List of cyclists at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and all the pages at Template:Competitors at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

 * All weightlifters at the world championships are notable According to who? The Banner talk 19:37, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I thought it went to WP:NSPORTS, but see the discussion Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 23. But however, that is another discussion. I changed the sentence. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 20:06, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * So there is no ruling that they are/appear to be automatically notable. That makes it a list because you can make a list (by slightly altering the source) The Banner  talk 20:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Like I said. This is another discussion. Even if they are not all notable a list of them is notable. However all weightlifters at the 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 world championships does have a Wikipedia page. I'll illustrate it with a few examples that this is another discussion.
 * Example (1): Junior and Under-23 cyclists are not notable. But there are pages like List of under-23 cyclists at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships and List of junior cyclists at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships
 * Example (2): Volleyball players are also not at WP:NSPORTS. But these kind of pages for volleyball of the World Championships are at Category:FIVB Volleyball World Championship squads‎. And even smaller tournaments, see the tons of pages at Category:Volleyball squads.
 * Example (3): Field hockey players are also not at WP:NSPORTS. But these kind of pages for field hockey of the World Championships do exist {few examples: 2014 Women's Hockey World Cup squads, 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup squads, 2010 Women's Hockey World Cup squads, 2010 Men's Hockey World Cup squads, 2006 Women's Hockey World Cup squads, 2006 Men's Hockey World Cup squads...
 * Example (4): Handballball players are also not at WP:NSPORTS. But these kind of pages for handball of the World Championships are at Category:World Handball Championship squads‎‎. And even smaller tournaments, like in Category:European Handball Championship squads‎‎, 2014 African Men's Handball Championship squads and Handball at the 2015 Pan American Games – Men's team rosters.
 * Example (5): Water Polo players are also not at WP:NSPORTS. But these kind of pages for volleyball of the World Championships are at Category:World Aquatics Championships water polo squads‎. And even smaller tournaments, like in Category:European Water Polo Championship squads‎ and Water polo at the 2015 Pan American Games – Women's team rosters.
 * Example (6): Futsal players are also not at WP:NSPORTS. But these kind of pages for futsall of the World Championships are at Category:FIFA Futsal World Cup squads‎. And even smaller tournaments, like European Champinships are at Category:UEFA Futsal Championship squads‎.
 * Example (7-...): Yes I can list many, many more.

 * Strong keep totally agree with Sander.v.Ginkel. MFriedman (talk) 01:33, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep A clearly defined list of notable individuals. This would tie in with WP:CLN, specifically WP:NOTDUP. The nom's reason is also very poor, citing the essay on cruft.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:29, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
