Football wonderkids

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced inherently POV article about a random selection of players with no real clear criteria for inclusion. thousands of players could be considered wonderkids and but are not included, while some of the ones included are not worthy of inclusion. Each of these players has their own article where their relevant info can go. Smacks of recentism - where is Pele, Ronaldinho, Best, Rufer... This is a magazine article with no foundation for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Club Oranje T 21:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC) Delete As stated above: Inherently PoV, no source. If this article is to be kept, it should be rewritten as an article on what is a football wonderkid, rather than a list of players that someone considers wonderkids.

 * Delete - It's an personal opinion on what constitutes a wonderkid - and can also be considered Wp:OR as well (and, as such, seemingly has no clear basis for inclusion). Also, as pointed out, can be considered Wp:RECENTISM as well. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  22:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, made-up list of people the author thinks are great. Any valuable content is already in the players' respective articles.    Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 00:01, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Delete - POV and OR. I doubt that a sourced, non-POV article on "football wonderkids" could even be written, as it's simply not a commonly used or defined term (for example, I can't find a single reliable source using the term to describe Micah Richards, one of the names on the list). -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like original research to me. Nfitz (talk) 23:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, as mentioned above the list is complete WP:POV & WP:OR. --Jimbo[online] 11:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: A list which could never be complete, and is (as said previously) inherently POV due to the fact that there are no set incusion criteria for a player to be considered a "wonderkid". Also, there is a clear case of original research here and this list has no place in an encyclopedia. -- Big  Dom  21:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
