Redirect to List of Bradford City A.F.C. players (1–49 league appearances) - firstly, the claim that there was "general agreement" at the RM mentioned by the nominator is misleading at best; one user said "I'm not sure if this player is even notable with just one appearance but that can be discussed separately" and that's it. Secondly, at the RM I suggested a redirect, and that seems the most sensible ATD. If the nominator had taken the time to consider that then we could have saved a lot of time with this AFD.

There was also Govvy's comment Close and delete No point in a redirect. I'm more in line with Govvy's thinking - the title is both ambiguous and not a likely search term so a deletion is IMO better than a redirect. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Supporting redirect per GiantSnowman and what I said on that RM in December 2023, where the quoted text is used above. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – Per above. Svartner (talk) 14:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. I'm tempted just to vote delete, though, given that he made exactly one appearance. Anwegmann (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
