List of football converts[edit]

duplicated info and better dealt with at Players who have converted from one football code to another. I initially changed it to a redirect and then reverted back to get a consensus. Colin Scotts is the only one not on the main list, and he didn't really convert as such anyway. -- I@n ≡ talk 03:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment God help me, but I actually could see myself seeking out this list. The wording is awkward and it could use a better title. I'll vote keep if I can come up with one. --djrobgordon 04:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Players who have converted from one football code to another. - Richardcavell 05:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as per Richard Cavell. This is common particularly between rugby league and rugby union but there is Darren Bennett who converted from AFL to NFL. Capitalistroadster 06:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. MLA 07:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename or re-direct. I'm not going to open up the usual can of worms about what 'football' means, but the current title is far too ambigious. Markb 08:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Richardcavell. --Coredesat 08:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Players who have.......... While we're on the subject, perhaps List of Australian rules and cricket players should also be merged into that article (with a title change, since cricket isn't a football code). R o gerthat ^Talk 09:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. The aforementioned, longer article is an excellent piece that covers an extensive list of football codes. This one uses the word "football" too generally, assuming in the title that the reader will know it means Aussie/American football. If the guys listed in this one aren't already listed in the other, put 'em in there and redirect. Seb Patrick 09:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Pointless on its own due to the other, better article but fair enough as a possible alternate name. Keresaspa 12:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Seems to just mirror existing information.--Auger Martel 16:40, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
