List Of Players Who Have Played For Both Sides of the Old Firm
A list of three, which is unlikely to grow very much - in a hundred years time, might be six...

Come on, it's quicker (and neater) to write "Kenny Miller is one of very few players to have crossed the famous Old Firm divide since the war, the others being Alfie Conn and Mo Johnston.

rather than

 * Speedy Delete has absolutely no context for the non-sports fan (such as myself). Danny Lilithborne 00:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - 3 players isn't enough for a useful list.Ac@osr 09:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no context. This list could be more than adequately replaced with a sentence in Old Firm; like the nominator suggests.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect into Old Firm as a subsection (see North London derby for a comparable example). Qwghlm 21:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I'd like to scream out "listcruft extreme!" but I won't. I'll restrict myself to only scream out "replace with sentence in existing derby article!". – Elisson • Talk 21:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Qwghlm though I'd not be averse to an unlikely keep. Highly notable but admittedly short. MLA 13:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into the article Old Firm. Firstly, allow me to state that the above mentioned article deals exclusively with Rangers and Celtic. The number of players who have played in both clubs is about less than ten (correct me if I am wrong about this information). Nevertheless, this is a very notable subject to research in and the information is verifiable. However, the main problem with this article currently is that it lacks content and it would be impossible to expand this article further (unless the number of players involved in both these clubs increases tremendously in the future). Thus, it is not right to delete this article outright and the most reasonable course of action to take is to merge the contents of this article into Old Firm. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  01:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
