Delete WP:OR Nobody is talking about a general concept of average in sports different from Average in its common meaning. There are specific averages in sports Batting average, etc. but these are not the same as what this article is claiming. Borock (talk) 15:11, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Borock. A vague OR definition without sourcing. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Merge While it could use some references and expansion, it is a relevant topic. Perhaps a section within Average is due, and there is no need to keep it as a separate article sort of along the same lines as Borock suggested.—Lightgodsy^(TALK_CONT) 14:52, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The concept seems so vague as to be dictionary definition of averageness in all walks of life. I cannot think of a way that averageness, as described in this stub, can be the basis of an article about sport. In my view, Average (sports) should be a disambiguation page with links to Batting average (cricket), Batting average (baseball), Goals against average, and so on.

Delete - This is essentially a dictionary definition. -- Whpq (talk) 14:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
