List of French football transfers winter 2013

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD contested by. 'Winter 2013' refers to transfers made in December 2013/January 2014 i.e. the future. There is therefore no meaningful content to be had yet and so this fails WP:CRYSTAL. GiantSnowman 09:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment I seethe article presently lists one person, 8 May 2012	 Claudio Beauvue/   Is this an error? It was the basis on which I declined the prod.  DGG ( talk ) 22:27, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, definitely - May 2012 is not winter 2013! GiantSnowman 10:35, 7 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete: Violates WP:CRYSTAL. Page can be made after the summer window or all the transfer windows can be combined into 1 page for the whole 2013–14 season. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:40, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The one name listed is wrong, too and should be in the summer 2013 part. SOXROX (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The 2013 winter transfer window in France was open between 1 January 2013 and 31 January 2013 (if in synch with the rest of Europe), that means that this is a list about something that has happened and means that WP:CRYSTAL can't be used as a rationale to delete the page. You should also check out List of French football transfers winter 2012. Yes, the list is incomplete and something should be done about it, but being a stub or a incomplete list is not a reason to delete, as this is a notable topic.

 * Comment Hmmm, we appear to have a mystery- where are the winter 2013 transfers, then? They have to be somewhere on this site, don't they? SOXROX (talk) 01:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Obvious case of WP:TOOSOON. Once the list can be reasonably populated it should be included, but not yet. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:00, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Would make perfect sense if we were discussing the winter 2014 window, but last time I checked the 2013 January transfer window closed some months ago. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow, I should really be paying more attention. Since we're talking about a past transfer window, then obviously this should be kept and properly populated. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - regardless of whether we are talking about December 2012/January 2013 or December 2013/January 2014, I think we can all agree that May 2012 is not "winter 2013" - and as that is the only entry, the list serves zero purpose in its current state. GiantSnowman 18:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * keep and improve - The page List_of_French_football_transfers_winter_2012 details the list of transfers between end of dec 2011/end of jan 2012. List of French football transfers winter 2013 is clearly supposed to detail the list of transfers between end of dec 2012 and end of jan 2013. This article needs improvement and a look through the associated pages should enable the page to be updated (or someone with a better grasp of French could look at the French wikipedia season pages for the teams involved)=>  Spudgfsh  ( Text Me! ) 20:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
