Per WP:NOT, NOT an indiscriminate collection of information Aaronw (talk) 23:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. In what way is this an "indiscriminate collection"? --Nricardo (talk) 04:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's not indiscriminate. Also, see similar discussions such as Articles for deletion/List of Italian football transfers Summer 2008. - Neier (talk) 07:03, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong keep Useful and sourced list on clearly notable subject. Not indiscriminate in any way.  Sorry, must oppose this nomination with great force.  Mr. IP  《 Defender of Open Editing 》 15:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seeing as the list is properly referenced (extremely well, I might add), I see no reason why this article should not exist. – PeeJay 21:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I thinks it's an interesting article, but not one that I think many people would find interesting. I just don't see the point in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.214.95 (talk • contribs)

"If you create a list like the 'list of shades of colours of apple sauce', be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge.'"
 * Keep - transfers are covered very badly on Wikipedia as it is but this is a shining light of verification! Just because you don't find it very interesting isn't a reason to delete. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable. GiantSnowman 11:32, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. I'm not sure I ever voted, so here it is and more justification.  Lists (stand-alone lists) states that
 * I am having an extremely difficult time understanding how this list can possibly contribute to the "state of human knowledge". Also, WP:Listcruft, while being an essay and not policy states that

"In general, a 'list of X' should only be created if X itself is a legitimate encyclopedic topic that already has its own article."
 * That being said, I can find no article on Brazilian Football Transfers, let alone Brazilian Football Transfers in 2008. Just because a list *can* be referenced well does not make it an encyclopedic topic.  List of injuries to Brazilian Football Players in 2008 could be referenced well, but that does not make it an encyclopedic topic. Aaronw (talk) 17:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * See Transfer (football). Transfers in Brazilian football are likely not much different than what is described in this article; but, to list all transfers around the world in a single article doesn't make much sense, when they can easily be divided into leagues such as this article has.
