[edit] Professional basketball

Dictionary definition. All of the information here is contained in other articles, and I don't see how this could be expanded much to make it worthy of existing on its own. fuzzy510 01:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wiktionary.--Jusjih 01:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki as per Jusjih. EVula 02:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki per above. Redirect to basketball if Wiktionary won't take it. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 03:01, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki — per above Betacommand 05:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: if deleted, this should be redirected to basketball, obviously. — sjorford++ 07:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki And also, please redirect to bastketball. rootology (T) 08:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• "Professional basketball" is not an idiom. It is a straightforward combination of the two words "professional" and "basketball". This does not satisfy Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion. The transwiki system is not a means for avoiding dealing with problem articles. Uncle G 10:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Uncle G. I don't think a redirect is needed, a search for "professional basketball" will also reveal "basketball". --HResearcher 11:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the above —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 12:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to basketball. You could probably expand with discussions of the various non-US professional leagues, but it's all really covered in other articles and summarized in basketball. Kuru ^talk 13:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary --Shaymus22 16:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Basketball, reasonable search term. Neutral as to whether it should be transwikied or not. JYolkowski // talk 17:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Basketball. As per above. Morgan Wick 01:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to basketball per JYolk (or perhaps to List of basketball leagues). Joe 01:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I have transwikied the whole edit history to Wiktionary. I suggest redirecting to basketball next.--Jusjih 01:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually you might want to correct the claim that professional sport is for profit there. NCAA are for profit too, they just don't pay their players. ~ trialsanderrors 01:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
