List of Nike sponsorships[edit]

Article fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY and was unsourced for four years. I added some references, but IPs generally keep adding unsourced names. I kept the original content hidden in the article, but no references have been added and none are probably forthcoming. Similar article to the recently deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Umbro sponsorships. 72Dino (talk) 15:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nike gets enough advertising and articles like this add nothing to Wikipedia. Would any other encyclopedia have such an article? --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:32, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Umbro list may have been deleted prematurely. List of Adidas sponsorships survived AfD, as did that one and this one, previously. The equivalent articles for Puma and ASICS should probably be considered as well in a larger discussion. --BDD (talk) 00:06, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Either that or scoop it up into a broader discussion as suggested in post above by BDD. I'm terribly allergic to all these Wikipedia lists and so much blatantly promotional product placement, as it were. Fylbecatulous talk 18:38, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
