List of Latvian footballers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

list is inferior to Category:Latvian footballers per consensus at Jogurney 13:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Superior as it includes persons not listed in the category. Besides, a category doesn't preclude us from having a similiar list. -- User:Docu


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Jogurney 13:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per English example. Renata 13:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The English list is not directly comparable as it contains relatively fewer red links and the contained a small section of the category. -- User:Docu


 * Keep per User:DocuTaprobanus 14:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per English precedent. At best, this should be a cat. MSJapan 14:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I could understand keeping it if half the list was redlinked, but with only six on there I can't see the point - better as category. Number   5  7  15:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - I don't understand the value that the red links add to this article. Additionally, I suspect that other articles may already contain red links for these footballers (such as their club's article or the Latvia national football team article, if appropriate). Best regards. Jogurney 16:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - no more information than a category. GiantSnowman 20:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete replace with a category and that way we can avoid the red links Corpx 20:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * A point of having lists is precisely that they do include red links. They are important for the growth of wikipedia. -- User:Docu
 * Delete - Personally am generally happy for lists to coincide alongside categories over the same data providing the list actually adds additional info on the topic. This is just restating of the names involved. Redundant. AllynJ 22:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Are there lists of other nation's soccer players, beyond the category? Either way, what's sauce for the Italians is sauce for the Latvians. Mandsford 02:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. There were a few created within Category:Lists of footballers by country, but several have been deleted following the AfD referenced above, and most of the others have been prod'ed or Afd'd.Jogurney 13:26, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Essentially a duplicate of Category:Latvian footballers and unnecessary unless it has significant added value, which I cannot see that it does. --Malcolmxl5 19:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree with Docu, especially that a point of having lists is that they contain red links. Tim Q. Wells 17:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
