Hinging on inappropriate BLP content, never will be a viable Wikipedia list article, editor has not edited since 2017 and a good deal of it is fancruft and unsourced with empty references. Sennecaster ( Chat ) 14:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - User space does not need to be a holding area for the unfinished work of long-inactive users. As nominator says, there are also BLP questions.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:45, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Are we now imposing time limits on how long editors may work on article ideas in their own userspace? Some not very active users may go many months or even years between edits. Where do we draw the line? Pawnkingthree (talk) 23:26, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not even close to “inappropriate”, it is largely sourced, and the cyclists are notable. It is not fancruft.  Feel free to remove unsourcable nickname notes, but there is nowhere near enough of a problem to justify deletion of it all.  In userspace there are no timelimits, and there should be no timelimits. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep A legitimate article idea that is not doing any harm. I don't see a reason for deletion. Pawnkingthree (talk) 23:10, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is an article I started working on years ago, but have never had the time to finish - yet. The intention to complete is still there. There's a long and rich tradition of nicknames in professional cycling and I think it's a worthy subject. The idea originally came from List_of_snooker_player_nicknames, so I don't agree that BLP is a issue. If inappropriate BLP content is an issue on this article, then it would be on the snooker player's article too. Is the snooker player's article also fancruft? Many are unreferenced because it's a work in (admittedly very slow!) progress. If the verdict is deletion then I'll accept, but ask me if I agree; no I don't. Pomtarr82 (talk) 12:27, 6 October 2021 (UTC) p.s. thx for the work you all do, from this inactive editor :)
 * I'll definitely remove the unsourced entries if this is keep closed, but no prejudice to a restoration. The alternative to deletion would be for me to remove the AfC draft submission header if you're intending to move it directly to mainspace without submitting it to review. Another solution, Pomtarr82, we could move it to draftspace so other interested editors as a whole can work on it? Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 18:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a draft, so it's not going to be perfect (WP:NDRAFT). Being in userspace, being abandoned isn't particularly relevant. No issue with the removal of any unsourced entries though. —  csc -1 17:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep this draft list of cyclists' (plural, apostrophe) nicknames as currently messy but potentially beneficial. Allez! -- Hoary (talk) 22:41, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
