All three lists fail WP:GNG and WP:NLIST as none are fully professional. The first two are cup matches and the last one is a youth league. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 21:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm fairly neutral on whether they're kept or not. What I would say is that for the Scottish Cup, the article currently suffers badly from Recentism as it only lists hat-tricks from the 2010s. It should really cover the entire history of the competition, but that goes back to the 1870s, bringing its own problems with sourcing. The competition, very important in terms of the historical development of football, is lacking in content generally, with many of the season articles sometimes including only scorelines even for the final, with an external link to something equally generic in terms of its content like Soccerbase or Statto; it's not up to me or anyone else what editors focus their time on, but personally I think there are other aspects of Scottish Cup coverage that could be improved upon before stuff like hat-tricks are added.

Delete - these kinds of lists can be notable (see FA List of Premier League hat-tricks), bit only when supported by in-depth coverage of the topic. I see nothing that makes these notable. if there are sources there, please ping me. Giant Snowman 10:42, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft as GiantSnowman said these type of articles can be notable if well sourced. I would suggest drafting this article until sources can be found. If no one can be bothered to find any sources then it gets deleted. That at least is my take on it. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 17:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I thought the above was fairly conclusive but i suppose i didn't vote, so there we go. Crowsus (talk) 14:10, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nobody seems to look after these pages. If they did and they were actively maintained then they could be kept. The Scottish Cup ones in particular do not go back very far and it's an immense effort to unearth the stats if they are not readily available somewhere.
