List of Austrian footballers[edit]

Duplicates Category:Austrian footballers. Lists such as these can be useful if they have redlinks (thus providing a basis for expansion of the topic) or provide additional information, but this list has neither. Punkmorten 09:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and previous discussion in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of goalkeepers - criteria for inclusion are too vague for it to be an actually useful list. I would actually delete all List of xxxan footballers articles for the same reason. A listing scheme for internationally-capped players (e.g.List of Sweden international footballers) is a better way of doing things, as there is an objective and verifiable standard for inclusion.

Delete. I like lists, but Punkmorten made the crucial case in his nomination. This list doesn't have any of the advantages they hold over categories. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:LIST. Nominator presents no argument for deletion. WilyD 22:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no use whatsoever as we have a category for the players. – Elisson • T • C • 23:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I don't like possibly infinite lists such as these. Far better to use categories. --Angelo 02:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
