The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Rfd-senses: "a national sports team representing the United Kingdom in an international competition"; "the British Olympic Association". I think these are trivial metonyms of sense 3 ("the United Kingdom"). Besides, for some reason, the same two quotes are added to both senses. Einstein2 (talk) 23:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete for nominator’s reason. — Sgconlaw (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete but add "and Sports" to the context label, since at the Olympics "Great Britain" is neither loose nor historical usage but an official name. Although not all "Great Britain" teams do represent the UK - the Great Britain basketball team for instance doesn't represent Northern Ireland. Smurrayinchester (talk) 12:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Is "Great Britain" definitely the full official name of any sports teams representing the UK, or is it just an abbreviation? E.g. of the Olympics team, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_GB it says "Officially, the team is the "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team". Mihia (talk) 19:37, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
