WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. List serves little purpose, is completely unsourced, and poorly upkept. Owners are already listed on each club article, which is sufficient. Paul Vaurie (talk) 02:49, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Football in France; there's this article by Le Monde which directly matches the subject of the list and this article by Bloomberg News that appears to be more of a partial match (behind a paywall). Left guide (talk) 03:41, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect as above - if it is kept, title will need to change, as it is ambiguous (is it owners of French football clubs, or French owners of football clubs anywhere in the world?) Giant Snowman 15:19, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: I also noticed that ambiguity at first. The article refers to owners of the clubs that play in France's football leagues; in this list, some of the owners are foreigners, but all of the clubs are French. So List of owners of French football clubs might be an appropriate title if kept. Left guide (talk) 21:16, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Left Guide. Srijanx22 (talk) 06:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Left Guide, doesn't need a separate article. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:06, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Totally against merging unsourced content, I am strongly against any merge, we have categories for a reason. What's this list doing that a category can't? Govvy (talk) 15:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
