Not linked from anywhere, woefully incomplete. Category does the job just fine. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 05:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Very incomplete, as said above, category does the job fine. The Phoenix Enforcer (talk) 05:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Question: Are we supposed to nom Lists where a cat exists? I see this all the time and always wondered. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:47, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It varies from case to case. In this case, we have a list that's unsourced, not even 10% complete, and completely lacking in any other content than "This is a list of..." (which is not the way to introduce a list). Since it's so woefully inadequate, precedent says it should go.

 * 3 down Delete I haven't seen a true indiscriminate list lately, but this is a textbook case, where there's no information provided to discriminate between one item and the next. No surprise that this is from 2003, as Wikipedia used to abound with these things (and back then, they usually were introduced as "This is a list of..").  Over recent years, they were either turned into worthwhile references, or gotten rid of.  That said, there's no rescuing what was intended as a list of Wikipedia articles about Canadian football players.  We have thousands of articles about Canadians who have played Canadian or American football, and Americans who play Canadian football.  Mandsford 17:13, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Useless list of CFL players. Better suited to use Categories to identify CFL players. Kugao (talk) 19:12, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
