Major achievements in Olympic team ball sports by nation

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable cross-categorization and synthesis to combine the results of team ball sports and not other Olympic sports. I'm a bit confused by the article because each sport has achievements for both the Olympics and other world championships, which furthers the oddity of combining ice hockey and water polo in one list. Moreover, it's largely duplicative of pages like Major achievements in basketball by nation and Major achievements in baseball and softball by nation, so there's no need to combine these tables here.

 * Rewrite into a list of articles. The scope of this article seems weird, as there doesn't seem to be many instances where different countries' achievements in all ball sports are being discussed and compared together. Nevertheless, I think it might have some value as a directory to articles like Major achievements in baseball and softball by nation and Major achievements in basketball by nation.

 * Delete There's not much of a guide to interpreting the tables, and once you've worked it out, it's clear this is basically a content fork as described in the nom - lists of major achievements that don't relate to a single sport of country are generally dubious, but being so specific here is just strange. Perhaps ping the main editors and offer draftification in case they want to make something useful from the data? Or per the above suggestion. Kingsif (talk) 20:38, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. A strange cross-categorisation for an article and as noted above similar content already exists elsewhere. Ajf773 (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete if there's encyclopedic content for specific sports, then articles for those sports can be created. But this catch all article for "ball sports" is not needed. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:44, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
