WP:DIRECTORY and/or WP:INDISCRIMINATE both broadly applicable. WP:LISTCRITERIA and WP:NOTESAL also relevant – this list has essentially no criteria to limit a player's inclusion within it, i.e. it is a list of all players, with their nicknames given next to their full names.

Merge the content and then delete, especially the references, to the player articles. If this was a list ordered by the nickname then there might be some point to it. As far as I can tell the majority of these entries already have the nick name listed on the player's infobox, but not all. I am not sure that anyone will ever want to find a player by nick name that cannot search for "<nick name> afl", which seems to work fine for me. As it is it seems it is largely LISTCRUFT and INDISCRIMINANT. Aoziwe (talk) 05:42, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nicknames came about to protect the commercial value of AFL approved autographed merchandise from those collected by fans at random opportunities, Bluey, Sticks, Wanna, Fish, will come and go with the players the most it needs is just a single word in the players info box. Its neither notable nor of any value beyond the occassional individual at which point the players articles is the best place to cover it. Gnan garra 10:14, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
