[edit] Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Transfers
An indiscriminate list of transfers, similar to ones which have previously been deleted when sorted by league rather than club. WATP (talk) • (contribs) 20:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
N Delete Wikipedia is not a directory or list of indiscriminate information. VanTucky (talk) 21:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)- Delete as noted above, this is not a directory or indiscriminate collection of information. --Angelo 21:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete I was considering afd'ing this before, wasn't sure know. My thoughts was that this list could of been something decent, but it really hasn't evolved the right way. Govvy 21:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and merge what can be salvaged into Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Unmaintainable list which will eventually crash PCs if left standing. Blueboy96 22:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete with some merge as suggested above, since separate articles about trades or signings, etc. are not necessary and/or not approriate.--JForget 22:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. It's one of those lists with some good info but will be just another list shortly. --Stormbay 22:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge amd delete. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 23:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

- Comment You don't need to merge anything from this article, the trades should be in each players profile of when they switch clubs ect. and the big important deals are already in the Spurs article. Govvy 14:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, too broad scope. Wikipedia is not a statistics database. Punkmorten 08:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Football-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Number 57 14:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment what's the difference between this AFD, which seems to have a consensus of Delete, and the AFD for Italian transfers 07-08, which was a clear Keep? Paulbrock 14:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- This AfD is about the transfers of a particular club, and the Italian one was for the whole of the League. Mattythewhite 14:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, but what makes this one an indiscriminate list of information but not the league ones? The club article has narrower scope, so I would have thought is less likely to fall under 'indiscriminate list'. (Playing devil's advocate here) Paulbrock 15:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's curious to see how many of the guys participating in this discussion did not take part to the Italian league one. Many of the five keep votes came from users heavily involved with that article, and only two delete votes came to light, one being mine. --Angelo 17:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- The difference is that this article lists the transfers of one team dating back to 1992, not just one year. From what I know about soccer, a list like that for one team is unmaintainable. Blueboy96 19:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- Delete I don't really see the point of this article. There's no context, there's no notability. --Malcolmxl5 21:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It's a list, don't expect there to be context! As for notability, that will be in each footballers article! Or you could just say delete per nom!Govvy 21:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, I see it's a list :-) but I see nothing that explains why the list itself is 'notable'. Perhaps I should have said it's an indiscriminate list of information and 'delete per VanTucky and Angelo. Cheers! --Malcolmxl5 22:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
