Keep: Wow, I'm very surprising this has been nominated for deletion. Floored quite honestly. By deleting this list, we will be losing a significant amount of notable information. We would be losing information on the history of college football championships and the history of AIAW women's championahip before women's sports fell under the NCAA. Multiple lists with this same notable information would need to be created, which defeats the purpose of deleting this list. You would have to guess which teams won the before mentioned national championships and try to piece this information together instead of having it in one place. In addition, this list is well-sourced. This list is a history of college sports national championships that needs to be kept. spatms (talk) 08:46, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Full disclosure, I created this page, though I've only made one edit since 2014. I'm very surprised about this nomination. As the page states, it fulfills the need for a compilation that includes (1) men's college champions before the NCAA began sponsoring championships in the 1930s, (2) women's college champions before the NCAA recognized them in 1982, and (3) sports that have never opted for NCAA championships, including the two oldest and perhaps most notable – college football and men's rowing. The page is kept up to date, very well-sourced, and indeed cross-references many other wikipedia pages, such as Intercollegiate sports team champions#Rowing and College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS, which are themselves no more or less original research than this page. (As a side point, the latter page is probably misnamed because it includes pre-NCAA champions and current FCS teams.) As the creator of the page, I can also speak to the "POV fork" allegation that is the stated basis for the nomination, by saying that there was no disagreement of any sort, at any time, about the content of List of NCAA schools with the most NCAA Division I championships. It's an odd basis for nomination – I, as someone with an interest in history, merely saw a historic gap to be filled on wikipedia about championships outside the scope of that article. —Kgwo1972 (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is absolutely misnamed by using NCAA in the title along with championships. This should be the subheading of the True NCAA title list not the other way around. Complete bullshit. 2600:1700:1110:14F0:E559:4163:4F2B:F540 (talk) 05:35, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I am extremely surprised to see this page nominated for deletion. If anyone thinks it is a duplicate of another article, they are sadly mistaken. This list is very well sourced with numerous citations. It is kept up-to-date. ( disclosure: I am active in keeping it up-to-date.) The scope of the list is much broader than just a list of NCAA title winners. This list, as others have mentioned above, includes much information about pre-NCAA winners, women' s sports winners, and non-NCAA sports winners. For this and all the reasons mentioned by others above, this article should be kept. Jeff in CA (talk) 15:00, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable subject. I'm not sure what nom means by "POV fork." And the POV of the article is a content dispute anyway. Smartyllama (talk) 11:21, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
