Redirect to List of FC Basel players; possible search term but not independently notable. Giant Snowman 11:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this is a good and interesting start and fits into the history of the club. The second highest tier of Swiss football is, and was at that time, professional. The article needs expanding with a lot more explanation, but then that is beyond my personal knowledge at this moment. But anyway, my vote is keep.

- FYI above keep !vote comes from the article's creator -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:03, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of FC Basel players - we need more than database coverage to show a passing of WP:GNG; I could not find any significant coverage of this particular Kurt Spirig in searches and I'm not convinced that we ought to just presume that such coverage exists.

Redirect to List of FC Basel players as per above arguments.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:44, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New situation:

Hello fellow Wikipedians, especially Geschichte, Nehme1499, GiantSnowman, Spiderone and Ortizesp, I would like to comment that the second highest league in Swiss football is a professional league and therefore notability is existant. Never the less, I have created a new situation, that I personally think would be a better solution than a deletetion. I have opened a new list: List of FC Basel players (2). If this list is okay for you all, then please redirect to this page. If this page needs corrections, then I would be very thankful if you would add them. Please give feedback. Thank you very much and I send you all very sunny greetings from Switzerland --Huligan0 (talk) 23:08, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That page should also be deleted. It's just shifting the problem from one location to another. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 23:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Huligan0: entirely inappropriate to create such an article like that. Giant Snowman 10:26, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of FC Basel players and potentially include in that list, although that list really ought to have some proper inclusion criteria set (see eg List of Arsenal F.C. players), as listing every single player who has played for a club which is over 120 years old in one article is clearly impractical -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not convinced he's non-notable, but there's nothing online which I can find to support my theory. SportingFlyer T·C 16:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
