Non notable list of players in a club. It says in the lead that Generally, this means players that have played 100 or more league matches for the club. However, some players who have played fewer matches are also included; this includes players that have had considerable success either at other clubs or at international level, as well as players who are well remembered by the supporters for particular reasons., and this seems very arbitrary and POV what players are included. The article is also completely unsourced. Qed237 (talk) 20:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - this is a list of players who have played for a professional club in a
  fully-professional league, in the same way as List of Manchester United F.C. players is. Why is one questioned but the other not? Needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 09:03, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep. I think this AfD should probably have been bundled with
  WP:FLC process, the standard scope was 100 appearances and extras such as record-holders, international players or Hall of Famers. It was decided that such an approach wasn't acceptable, and we should aim for a complete all-time roster. For years now, standard procedure is to restrict the main List of ... F.C. players to those with more than a certain number of appearances: 100 tends to be the norm. Although some featured lists still haven't been updated from that scope: see e.g. Aston Villa or Ipswich. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:53, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - per GS and Struway, lists of players for clubs in fully professional leagues are acceptable. Agree though that the lead is not helpful, should be removed and work done to create and all-time roster. Fenix down (talk) 07:05, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As this is a list of players in a
  WP:BEFORE should've been followed. Omni Flames (talk) 04:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply
