:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete and redirect. JmaJeremy's comment that the article started life as a redirect and should be returned to it is true...except the redirect was at Indian sports. Sgxi moved Indian sports to Indian Sports Teams & Players midway through his creation of this article; that is the logical return-to-redirect, not this term. Therefore I have deleted Indian Sports Teams & Players and recreated as a redirect Indian sports, redirecting to Sport in India, its original target.

A completely unencyclopaedic article. I know using 'unencyclopaedic' is a circular argument but this article really doesn't make any sense. It contains some cherry picked national teams and sports-persons of India, maintaining their records. Wikipedia is not a directory, and I don't think given content can be merged with any correlated articles (like sport in India). — Bill william compton^Talk 16:48, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Delete - This seems to be a rather arbitrary collection of results. -- Whpq (talk) 14:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to sport in India. The article started as a redirect in 2007 and remained virtually unchanged until this month when a single editor ({{user|Sgxi}}) began filling it with disjointed and loosely correlated information over a series of 42 revisions. It seems like it was done in good faith, perhaps with the false assumption that a redirect should eventually be turned into a full article. —JmaJeremy ✆✎ 00:16, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Redirect to Sport in India. Not the most likely of titles, but we may as well keep it as a redirect. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 00:31, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
