Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add ((Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName)) to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Cue sports|~~~~)) to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Cue sports.

Another WP:EXAMPLEFARM WP:LC listing that is more deserving of being listed on lists about individual leagues/championships than a standalone list. If we were going to keep this, then we'll have an article bloated with WP:FANCRUFT entries of everybody's favorite sport. Editors needs to know that Wikipedia is WP:NOTDIRECTORY for your favorite sport; more deserving of an entry in Wikitionary than this per WP:ATD.

• Keep. Editors needs to know that Wikipedia is WP:NOTDIRECTORY for your favorite sport... and nominators need to know that AfD is WP:NOTCLEANUP for your least-favorite article. You haven't given any reason why this fails to meet notability guidelines for inclusion, only that it is poorly written. jp×g🗯️ 22:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  and Conyo14 too. I'm not asking for a cleanup as winning streaks will always happen. I agree with Oaktree b, its best put it out of its misery rather than do something with it as most of those leagues has their own list. SpacedFarmer (talk) 09:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete: Way too long for a list, I'd recommend breaking it out by sport/country/something, and using better inline citations. We don't need to list every streak that has ever happened, all in one extensive list of one-liners. Oaktree b (talk) 01:48, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Strong Keep AfD is WP:NOTCLEANUP. [1], [2], [3], [4]. The rest of the records without sources should be obviously sourced. Conyo14 (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  The rest of the records without sources should be obviously sourced. — if this is the case, you should go do this yourself if you want to save it so bad. SpacedFarmer (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  WP:NOTCLEANUP. Me placing sources there shouldn't matter. The notability already exists. After this AfD, I'll change the article to match more of the terminology than make it just a list. It's not worth my time during an AfD though. Conyo14 (talk) 23:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep - needs a clean up, but seems notable as a well-known term/concept. GiantSnowman 12:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  I am not saying that it is not notable as a well-known term/concept but c'mon, that list is pretty excessive, don't you think? SpacedFarmer (talk) 16:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Yes - but WP:NOTCLEANUP applies. You've acknowledged the concept is notable, so therefore it should not be deleted. GiantSnowman 19:38, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• 'Delete as per WP:NOTDICTIONARY and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Flibirigit (talk) 12:29, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete - totally meaningless to have a vast list of winning streaks from sports which are not directly comparable (eg a hurling streak of 21 games which took over four years to complete vs a baseball streak of 26 games which took less than a month). Records about streaks in specific sports should be on appropriate records articles for those sports, and if you strip those out from this article you are just left with a DICTDEF -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Keep and rename to List of winning streaks in sports, or possibly merge with List of winning streaks with ((main article)) in the respective sections. The concept of a winning streak in sports is well-covered, even in the broadest sense as covering all sports, see "The 33 best streaks in sports history". ESPN.com. 2013-03-28. Retrieved 2024-02-12., "Six of the Best: Winning Streaks". Sports Gazette. 2017-09-19. Retrieved 2024-02-12., Majev, Brendan. "Untouchable: The Greatest Streaks in Sports". Bleacher Report. Retrieved 2024-02-12.. It clearly meets WP:NLIST, and whether or not a stricter set of criteria for inclusion should be applied is a separate issue from whether or not the article should be kept.

• Strong keep – Terminology inherent to various sports with encyclopedic content to be expanded. Svartner (talk) 20:23, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Keep I have nothing against the nomination, because it's reviewing the content on the article, however Winning streak as terminology can be a valid article. It's just the current article is dire. It needs a complete overhaul and stripping right back to the essence of the terminology. Govvy (talk) 22:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Strong keep per above, though the article could do with some cleanup. Govvy raises good points. The Kip 05:21, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Keep but it needs cleanup per above. I believe List of winning streaks can be merged into this article, but AFD is not the place for such a discussion.
• Merge with List of winning streaks. A paragraph on there explaining winning streaks is sufficient, and will help understanding of the topic. But this indiscriminate list is not at all encyclopedic. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:36, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete. I agree with ChrisTheDude above that a list like this should be by sport. Not only that, there should be context within each sport. This is unreadable as it stands and of no use to readers. Alleged notability is not a valid reason to keep such a mess. Batagur baska (talk) 00:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can't see how this person is notable. Has won some routine competitions. The article suggests he's won big international tournaments, but simply hasn't. Didn't have the sort of coverage to meet WP:GNG in my WP:BEFORE Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
