The result was Speedy keep. Clearly WP:POINTy nomination without any basis in policy, especially considering that this is a featured list. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 04:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This list is currently rated as a featured list, and the entire rationale given is that this is "pointless"? That just doesn't cut it. --Muboshgu (talk) 21:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. Improper rationale and it is a clearly notable article.--TM 21:08, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. "Pointless" nom rationale sounds almost WP:POINTY. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was gonna say it's an example of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, but yours might be better. Even then, it's both. Speedy keep. --Muboshgu (talk) 21:35, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since this is a featured list, you'd need a very solid and airtight rationale to even consider deleting it. "Pointless" isn't gonna cut it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – A notable topic (unless you think none of our similar lists for the major North American sports teams should exist), and the list is of a high standard to boot. I'm almost tempted to call this a pointless nomination. :-) Giants2008 (27 and counting) 01:05, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep This nomination and that reasoning is ridiculous.--Yankees10 01:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
