History of Manchester United's Squad Numbers[edit]

The content of the article is unencyclopaedic and, IMO, is not notable outside of a very narrow field. The same information and more can be found at http://www.footballsquads.co.uk - PeeJay 09:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - there is a section like this on the Liverpool F.C. statistics page. This belongs on a similar page. ArtVandelay13 09:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge into Manchester United 1999-present or something similar, and expand. Some prose needs to be added to explain what this list actually is. I don't think the rationale for deletion is sound - most articles are only of interest to a limited number of people, and the fact that the information is available elsewhere is a reason for inclusion, not deletion, per WP:V.

Comment - In that case, I will create a page similar to Liverpool F.C. statistics for Manchester United and put the table in there. = PeeJay 09:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Gasheadsteve. Number 5 7 09:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to new stats article. Realkyhick 15:33, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - what squad number a player currently wears is barely notable - a list like this is definitely not. Information of the most specialised kind, and best held on a specialist Manchester United fansite. - fchd 19:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have now copied the information into a new article at Manchester United F.C. statistics. I have also edited the table to make it as complete as possible. I still don't think it's at all relevant, but now we have a new article for Man Utd statistics, which can't be bad. - PeeJay 19:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete now that the information has been moved elsewhere. --Malcolmxl5 19:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - somewhat interesting but doesn't need its own article, obviously. --Steve Farrell 15:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete what a waste of server space... seriously pointless. It has no value --Childzy ₪ Talk 23:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If there is a Wiki for Manchester United, it is a good research, but seem not allowed in wikipedia policy. Matthew_hk t c 18:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
