I propose to remove all articles in the main category Category:Lists of teams and cyclists, this also includes

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate repository of facts. These lists of participants of cycling road races are not notable enough. At most the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, Vuelta a España, UCI Road World Championships and Olympic games are notable enough for these kinds of lists.

I have started a discussion at the WikiProject Cycling, with everybody agreeing. I have notified the editors that created these articles, but none of them responded. EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 07:38, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that "with everybody agreeing" was actually two people. I think the Paris–Nice, Tour Down Under and Tour of Britain are notable events that should have lists of cyclists included (IE Keep those three). I don't know enough about the others. Lugnuts (talk) 13:04, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All are notable events, that's why they have their own article, but I don't think that notability is inhereted by the 'list of teams and cyclists' article. I forgot to mention: a better way to show who entered the race is by putting the list of participating teams in the parent article (2010 Tour de Langkawi etc.). And there were actually three people agreeing... The cycling project has a small active community... --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 14:34, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Per comments above. All events are notable, but storing minutia such as team lists for each race in separate Wikipedia articles is neither practical nor justifiable. All such information can be stored in either the main articles regarding the races in question, or in any articles specifically dedicated to the involved teams.

  • Delete - notable events, but separate list articles are not needed. Any information can be put in the main event articles. SeveroTC 07:56, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Happy to agree here that these should be limited to Grand Tours, World Championships and Olympics. Pretty Green (talk) 09:00, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all forking lists; could be easily merged to their main articles, if they are notable and verifiable with reliable sources.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 10:28, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all and do not merge any Meaningless trivia. If any rider had a notable participation in any of these events (stage win, podium finish, etc.) it's already going to be recorded in that rider's article or one of the team articles. There's just nothing significant about being a bottle-carrier in any of these events (I guess you could make the same argument about the Grand Tours, but I'd oppose that argument).

  • Note: It looks like we have a very solid consensus here to delete the proposed pages. Do admins monitor these pages and close them after a certain time period, or do we need to request that the discussion be closed with a "Delete" verdict? Thanks. Ebikeguy (talk) 23:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    No request necessary, usually most discussions are cleared between 7 and 8 days from start, I'll close this myself now. --joe deckertalk to me 05:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
