- No lemmings for “free substitution”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. No WP article. DCDuring TALK 10:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Very weak delete, essentially free + substitution, but I'm not sure I could guess the precise meaning from the sum of its parts. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:29, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Keep: You don't get the nuances of what it means from free and substitution, especially since the former has a lot of different definitions. For all we know, "free substitution" could mean that the coach doesn't have to pay the referee to send in substitution (using the definition of free as "without cost" instead of "able to do anything"). BTW, what's with everybody jumping on me? Half the defs I've created have been RFDed or RFVed Purplebackpack89 (Notes Taken) (Locker) 21:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Keep. This is context specific to sports, so "keep" unless we want a sports-specific sense of (deprecated template usage) substitution. --EncycloPetey 00:55, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Keep. I could not guess the specific meaning in sports from "free" and "substitution". If aynone has wondered about citations, see e.g. [1], [2] and [3]. --Dan Polansky 07:45, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Keep. It's completely undecipherable to me per its parts. (But then again most sports words are like that for me.) ---> Tooironic 08:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Kept, strong majority. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
