As noted in the previous nomination, the topic of sports clichés is notable and could have an article (prehaps Sports cliché). However, a list of them is subjective and therefore inherently POV and indiscriminate. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 19:53, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep To avoid being indescriminate, we should adequately reference all cliches used. A table may make the page more organised. Middledistance99 (talk) 23:08, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and SALT - appears to be an unneeded list; any situation that I can think of having a list like this being beneficial seems fairly niche, but that's my opinion and shouldn't be taken as fact. Recommend making an article on sports cliches instead of a list, as nom suggested. Kirbanzo (talk) 03:27, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Why would we WP:SALT? And what precisely is your deletion argument? I see no basis in guideline or policy. postdlf (talk) 19:44, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Precisely what is the argument here? The topic is notable, even nom admits that, I'm not sure what the issue is. Any list will be subjective as to what to include, that's not a reason to delete, only to reference. Smartyllama (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does this list significantly overlap with List of sports idioms? Also, The New York Times recently ran an article called "We Use Sports Terms All the Time. But Where Do They Come From?" with explanations of each term, like the list I linked does. Doing that is something this list if kept would benefit from.
