 * Delete As with things like List of Chicago Bears starting quarterbacks, I see no point, other than as an academic exercise, in having a separate article about particular members of a team, even those in a leadership position. In both sports, it takes eleven people to win.  Sports fans get more articles on Wikipedia than enthusiasts of other subjects, because they're more assertive and competitive, and we should follow their example, but there's a limit to how much detail we need on any particular team.

 * Delete - unnecessary content fork, all info could and should be covered in the existing article. GiantSnowman 01:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Could easily be covered at List of Arsenal F.C. players. – PeeJay 01:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - As mentioned above, the content of this article can easily be covered in other articles, and is not significant enough to merit an article of its own. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into either Arsenal F.C. or List of Arsenal F.C. players. There's a similar table in the Manchester United F.C. article that I think works well. The content is worth keeping, it just doesn't warrant it's own article. --Jimbo[online] 12:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Very very unnecessary. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
