The result of the debate was MOVED to rugby player and made a disambiguation page by GordyB. Robert 22:01, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There is no sport called 'rugby', there are two different sports called 'rugby union' and 'rugby league'.
All this article does is link to List of footballers (Rugby Union) and List of footballers (Rugby League) GordyB 10:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I see your point, but still I can imagine a user assuming there would be a list of rugby players and being surprised not to find one. This page would be useful as a kind of dismabig page, so I vote keep and reformat as disambig page. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 10:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per Angr --Anetode 10:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: If you keep it as a disambig, then you violate the disambiguation naming guideline for it. Further, the implication of the title is that this is going to be a list of all rugby players, which would mean that it includes my college buddies who played it for a few games in the summer before giving it up. Remember List of people who have not committed suicide is a bad idea. So is List of rugby players. Geogre 12:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What is the disambiguation naming guideline here? And should we be deleting list of ancient Romans? Kappa 23:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep as disambig, maybe redirect to a disambig called "rugby players" so as to remove implication of completeness of list. Jesse 13:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a disambiguation page as per Angr. Qwghlm 13:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As above.Trollderella 15:45, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as disambig. --Monkbel 16:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I'm not sure it counts as a true disambig, or not. But, however it's done, people should be able to type in "List of rugby players" and get to what they're looking for. --rob 20:32, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it is pretty universal that this page should be made into a disambiguation page. No need for any further votes I think. I'll do it when I get a chance.GordyB 13:41, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
