:({{Find sources|Points Vulture}})

A neologism not used by reliable sources, deprod'ed by creator. A Google search {{Google|"Points Vulture" -"In tennis, a Points Vulture is generally a player who over-inflates their ranking"}} which removes Wikipedia mirrors gives almost nothing of relevance except a few forum posts. It appears to be a pejorative term occasionally used by fans of other players to bash a player they don't like. Per WP:BLP I have removed unsourced claims that some named players are "points vultures". PrimeHunter (talk) 20:41, 20 September 2012 (UTC) PrimeHunter (talk) 20:41, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - certainly not a term used in the press or books. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:11, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - per reasons given by PrimeHunter. It's a colloquial term used on forums but not suitable for a WikiPedia article.--Wolbo (talk) 21:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - per... Totally non-encyclopedic, unsourced, lame style and statement within the article. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 23:25, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
