2014 Granatkin Memorial squads

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. A list of non-notable players for a non-notable youth tournament as is evident from the numerous redlinks - WP:NOTSTATSBOOK applies here. JMHamo (talk) 13:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason given above.

 * Delete- per WP:NOTSTATS, plus there is already WP:FOOTY consensus that we do not need navboxes for non-senior team tournament squads, so not sure why we would need stat dump articles. Fenix down (talk) 14:16, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - these lists of non-notable people does nothing to further the encyclopedia. GiantSnowman 18:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Famous annual international youth tournament. One of the top-competitions for youth teams in Eastern Europe. There is enough press coverage. NickSt (talk) 12:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * So why does the fact that a tournament is notable mean we need a separate article containing no sourced prose that simply lists the squads, especially when the age of many of them means they are all redlinked? What is independantly notable about the squads themselves? The notability of the tournament is irrelevant to this discussion. Fenix down (talk) 13:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - Some people argue we shouldn't have squad-articles for friendly-tournaments, others argue we shouldn't have squad-articles for youth-tournaments. And this is a squad-article for a youth-friendly tournament. Unneccessary content-fork, fails WP:NOTSTATS. Mentoz (talk) 12:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
