The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Specific names of trophies given by one particular organization only I'd say don't belong on a dictionary. PseudoSkull (talk) 22:00, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- FA Cup would be under threat then, which refers to the competition, not the cup itself. DonnanZ (talk) 09:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Why not delete Champions League and Bundesliga too? I presume there should not be a difference in whether it is the name of a corporation (UEFA, not created apart from the acronym) or the “work-groups” it creates. A case could be made to delete Olympic Games, Olympic Winter Games, Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games. The recurring ramblings of my local rambling clubs in the Westphalian province, albeit frequently mentioned in the local press, do not get entries either. This can go out of hand quickly if everybody covers his favourite sport. It is all not covered by WT:BRAND because of not representing commodities; the terms are rather under the CFI section “company names”. Fay Freak (talk) 14:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- It has entered the lexicon, at least within the sports context. For example: "NBC Sports Chicago has been playing the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series run and the Blackhawks' three Stanley Cup runs ..."[1]; "With 13 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog-Eating Contest titles, he surpassed ... and Henri Richard’s 11 Stanley Cups."[2]; "Nobody would have thought you could equal the joy felt when the Blues finally won the Stanley Cup."[3] -Mike (talk) 05:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- The definition is wrong, it is NOT the National Hockey League's trophy. It is awarded to the NHL champion, but the trophy itself is part of the Stanley Cup trustees purview, which is older than the league, and all the league's predecessors. It was a multi-league trophy until the mid-20th century, when the trustees decided that the NHL champion would be automatically awarded the cup. There was a chance a different league's champion would have been awarded the cup in the 21st century, when the NHL went on strike. -- 70.51.44.93 05:01, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
