List of AFC Rushden & Diamonds players[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This looks like a failure of WP:NLIST:

Other than Chris Hope, none of the players actually have Wikipedia articles.
None of the redlinked players are really likely to get articles. Rushden and Diamonds are a team in the 9th/10th level of the English football league system and are (to my knowledge) an amateur team at that. In the absence of fixtures played with other, more prominent teams, these people are not getting pages any time soon. Ironholds (talk) 04:09, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails NLIST 86.6.128.155 (talk) 17:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NLIST. Given the lowly level the team plays at, the list is likely to comprise 99.99% non-notable players for quite some time to come -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:09, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - pure LISTCRUFT, not a notable topic. Giant Snowman 10:30, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Far too far down the football hierarchy to warrant the present club having more than a single article (if that). The number of redlinks says it all. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, highly unlikely that this list could link to any significant number of other articles given the low level of the club, so not sure how this list could be of any genuine use. Fenix down (talk) 12:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
