List of La Liga players

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list that is potentially unmanageable and far too long to be a useful addition. Fancruft. The Banner talk 22:39, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep and introduce some inclusion criteria (i.e. over 300 appearances or something) so that it is along the lines of List of Premier League players, List of Ligue 1 players and others. GiantSnowman 09:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - per GS, don't agree with accusations of cruft, it is a listing where a player has either played in La Liga or not, so is finite and objective, but is inherently unweildy. I have trimmed it to players with +300 appearances, although am happy for this to be expanded to say 250? Fenix down (talk) 12:09, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I have added fancruft due to the column "Region". But that could also be just non-relevant and/or WP:OR. The Banner talk 12:22, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Not cruft per se, more likely to be regional nationalism as is popular in Spain (but 100% not suitable for Wikipedia). GiantSnowman 12:24, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - A list of this kind would be unmanageable if there were no cut-off point but all three articles put 300 as the cut-off point. So List of La Liga players with 300 matches or more accurately describes the list and it just seems to approach WP:LISTCRUFT. --MicroX (talk) 07:09, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Isn't that more of a move rather than delete? The article has already been trimmed to 300+ appearances. Fenix down (talk) 07:50, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Lists do not need the criteria specified in the title. GiantSnowman 08:26, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep: Just keep it to a specific criteria, like 250 appearances. Also, try and cleaning the list a little. Add some pictures, add some templates. Add some rules even. Don't just make the page look disorganized. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:33, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Can be made discriminate. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 23:56, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep This list seems reasonable, although it needs sources. Jakejr (talk) 01:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
