All except the last one were added by @EhSayer. These are not dictionary material; names of organizations belong on Wikipedia. If we include these, we have precedents for literally tens of thousands more, popular or not. PseudoSkull (talk) 21:58, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion/Brand names may be useful here. Personally, I've been linking to Wikipedia for the long definition of short form names, like CJNG links to the Wikipedia article for Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 11:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Governed by WT:NSE. Names of organizations include United Nations, and some other items in Category:en:Organizations including Federal Intelligence Service, Greenpeace, Hamas, Hezbollah, International Court of Justice, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, World Trade Organization, and more. One property easing the deletion of the nominated names is that they consist of multiple capitalized nouns or adjectives, unlike e.g. Greenpeace. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:40, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

- I feel like I've heard people use "Major League Baseball" to describe something that is a big deal, perhaps as an extension of major league and/or big league. No comment on the rest. bd2412 T 07:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- I have the exact same feeling as BD2412. I'm trying to find quotes/cites of that usage, but I'm coming up short. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 09:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete all. Not part of the English language. Definitely Wikipedia material - no one's going to look those up here. Facts707 (talk) 03:01, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete all excepting Major League Baseball possibly. DAVilla 04:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
Deleted as to all. Not having found sources supporting an alternative sense for "Major League Baseball", I am deleting the one sense on the page, which is of the specific sports league. An idiomatic sense of the term can be created if citations are found. bd2412 T 04:40, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
