The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed. Even if we ignore, for the moment, the complete lack of adherence to standard stub template naming, this is simply not the sort of axis on which stubs are split. Sportspeople are split by sport and nationality, never by team, for the good and simple reason that many players end up playing for a multitude of teams whereas very few play more than one sport or for more than one country. If kept, which I hope is extremely unlikely, it would need to be renamed to be in keeping with other stub types (to T:StanfordCardinals-bio-stub and C:Stanford Cardinals sportspeople stubs), but there's no way this should exist in the first place, so Delete.

 * Delete This would set a dangerous precedent. Having spent plenty of time in the sport cats I've seen football (soccer) players with 9 categories for teams that would mean a total of 10 stub cats, No thankyou. Waacstats 00:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I note that some of the individual university stub types are in serious danger of being (mis)used in this way.  Alai 00:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is will be a very problematic way of splitting. Valentinian T / C 11:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
