(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A strange list of footballers, probably of Costa Rican players abroad. No context, sources or correct information. According to the article a work in progress, but the author did not do anything since 1-11-2011 Night of the Big Wind _talk 14:08, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In its current form, it isn't even clear what the criteria are for players to be on this list. The creator either needs to do some work to make it clear what the page is about and provided references, or it should be userfied. Jncraton (talk) 15:55, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and move to List of Costa Rican expatriate footballers - There are plenty of reliable sources available to expand this list, although it is in a terrible state at the moment. I've begun the process of formatting and adding references, but it needs attention. That's not reason enough to delete as the list can be quite useful when completed. I also recommend moving the article because it's current title is incomprehenisble; see my recommendation above. Jogurney (talk) 17:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep providing the page is renamed, and Jogurney is able to keep up his good work improving this article. Giant Snowman 10:51, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with Rename as List of Costa Rican expatriate footballers but suggest limiting list to currently playing abroad per List of Romanian expatriate footballers as over not-too-long-a-time this and similar lists will become unmanageably large if all inclusive. I also prefer the sortable table format of List of Israeli footballers playing overseas. List of Estonian expatriate footballers could also be restricted to currently playing abroad if there is consensus for this and anyone has a mind to fix it. Lists should also be restricted by other qualifying criteria - eg. inherently wikinotable (ie- playing in a FPL, national team player etc.) to prevent creep to unworthy information clutter of unknowns playing 4th division obscure country league--ClubOranje^T 10:01, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
