2015 in ball sports

There is no previous history of chronicling the results of 'ball sports' on an annual basis on wikipedia and the fact these various sports involve a 'ball' does not create sufficient similarity that wikipedia is enhanced by an article of this nature GLG GLG (talk) 07:01, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge back into 2015 in sports – I think Rockies77 is very much justified in trying to manage the length of the 2015 in sports article, and I'm more than happy to support the continued creation of spin-out articles for individual sports or obviously related classes of sport; but I agree with the nominator that splitting out the ball sports from the non-ball sports is a very unnatural way to do that.

Thank you Aspirex. How about each ball sport has their own "2015 in sports" topic? That way, this cumbersome general topic can be deleted for more smaller and individual Wikipedia ball sports topics. Rockies77 (talk) 00:23, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a good approach. Aspirex (talk) 06:52, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, merge to 2015 in sports or split into separate articles for each sport - Categorising as "ball sports vs non-ball sports" is extremely unnatural. – Pee Jay 14:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
