Delete - Redundant list of athletes that is already available elsewhere. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 22:29, 8 January 2017 (UTC) reply
Delete - More of SvG's bot-created articles. All redundant. Exemplo347 ( talk) 23:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Note Articles are not bot-created. Lists meet notability standards, why are they redundant? Sander.v.Ginkel ^(

Keep

1) Not a valid reason for deletion. The information might be found on seperate other pages, but a list page is made to have an overview. All the information of notable lists on Wikipedia can be found on other Wikipedia pages. Example UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Women's omnium.

2) The weightlifters lists by previous discussions: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2006 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2007 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2010 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2011 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 2003 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 1998 World Weightlifting Championships, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of weightlifters at the 1999 World Weightlifting Championships,

3) The cycling and Olympic lists all meet WP:LISTPEOPLE

4 there is a difference. These are all inclusive across all years. The lists nominated for discussion are for one specific year. I am retroactively withdrawing two of the nominations: List of Turkish weightlifters and List of Dutch Olympic cyclists. Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 14:06, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

A list for all competitors at the 2016 Summer Olympics would be too long. A list of competitors at the different sports are great and valuable. There can be found for instance which cyclists participated at road and track events (see List of cyclists at the 2012 Summer Olympics). This kind of inforamtion is hardly to find somewhere else.

Keep the ones of the form list of x at the xxxx summer olympics. SvG's arguments on those are convincing, and they do add real value to wikipedia even if they are redundant. Weak Keep the UCI cyclist articles for the same reason, but they are less valuable to wikipedia. No opinion on the other nominated articles. Tazerdadog ( talk) 22:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete most but keep the ones for the Olympics. Consensus is that these things are notable the Olympics, but not for single-sport events. Smartyllama ( talk) 01:05, 15 January 2017 (UTC) reply
Delete all – mass created spam articles, just like the other billion that have wasted peoples' time at AfD. Laurdecl ^talk 01:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC) reply
