This list was created because WP:ILIKEIT and is not a desirable topic for a list because:

While marriages between sportspeople is indeed a discussed topic, nobody writes about this as a group of people who are connected together by that fact.
It's weird that the marriages have to be transnational. Why?
it's also weird that the marriages have to be on an Olympic or Paralympic level. Why are FIFA World Cup players or other World Championship competitors excluded, not to mention Big 4 leagues etc.? Geschichte (talk) 12:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This is a weird intersection of categories, a topic of only niche interest, and there doesn't seem to be anything about this group as a notable group. WP:NLIST is failed all around. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 19:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, clearly falls foul of NLIST. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete although "not a desirable topic" is arguably equally IDONTLIKEIT, this very clearly fails WP:LISTN. No one is treating this subject as a group. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Snow delete per NLIST and also WP:SALAT ("Lists that are too specific are also a problem."). "Weird intersection" pretty much sums it up. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The list criteria seem completely arbitrary, as outlined in the nomination. Feel free to ping me if evidence to the contrary emerges. TompaDompa (talk) 17:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Completely arbitrary, fails WP:NLIST. Let'srun (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Per all above. Svartner (talk) 02:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
