Non-notable grouping that fails to meet the WP:NLIST due to a lack of WP:RS. Let'srun (talk) 14:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think there's a corresponding article, but college teams' nicknames is certainly a notable topic discussed by a variety of sources. Sources include [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Reywas92^Talk 14:41, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In North America though? Let'srun (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, delete the ones in Canada and Mexico if you want a US-focused list. I don't see the point of that though. Reywas92^Talk 18:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We have U Sports#Conferences and members and List of Mexican collegiate American football programs for Canada and Mexico respectively. I do not expect the remaining North American countries to have significantly notability, WP:LISTN, for navigational purposes. Conyo14 (talk) 18:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So shorten this list to be the US ones. I think this is a valid navigational list for that at least. Reywas92^Talk 03:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
List of college team nicknames in the United States exists already. Conyo14 (talk) 04:18, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I had searched but didn't see that. I would support a merge, but I do like how this is sorted by type and with the length this is a rare instance that keeping separate (or even merging the alphabetical list to this one) would be appropriate. Reywas92^Talk 15:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete, U Sports#Conferences & members, List of Mexican collegiate American football programs and List of college team nicknames in the United States are sufficient. I couldn't find anything that discussed everything has a group. Esolo5002 (talk) 00:06, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
