List of Newcastle United F.C. directors and chairmen

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:NOTDIR. A list of chairmen is in the main article and that is sufficient (even if not enough, then the content of this article can easily be added there). This is not a normal type of article for other football clubs and I don't see a need for it. Delete. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - I think the arguments for deletion are silly and ridiculous. If the content from this article was to be be added to the main article it would be way to long. The article also have references for directors etc. which are not mentioned at all in main article of nufc. If this article should be deleted in reference to WP:NOTDIR we can start delete all article which list of players, staff etc. Keallu (talk) 21:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This article is utterly pointless. If a list of Newcastle United's chairmen is required, just add a small table to the club's main article. There's no need for a separate article dedicated to this narrow subject. – PeeJay 21:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:NOTDIR. The table is not too long to be added to main article if necessary - if we start having standalone lists for this we may as well start List of Newcastle United F.C. kitchen staff. Also, User:Keallu's keep nomination verges on WP:WAX. 03  md  22:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete no need for separate article. Most of the people in the list are non-notable anyway. Spiderone  08:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Here we go again with misleading comments in an AfD... Have you checked the notability of the people listed? All of the chairmen would be ok for starters, then of the directors, Seymour, Westwood, Fletcher, Harrison, D Hall should be easy, which only then leaves 13 of the 34 that I've not heard of. No strong feelings either way re the article, a list of directors probably is superfluous. I do however have strong feelings regarding the way some inaccurate statements are made as part of the Afd process, which could then be interpreted by others as fact 8lgm (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see this is just a list for the sake of having a list. See WP:LISTCRUFT Spiderone  15:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - a list of the club's chairmen is notable enough, but could easily be housed within the main article without significant bloat. A list of all board members is not needed, though - I have a complete list of Gillingham directors in one of my books and there must be at least a hundred, most of whom made no significant or lasting contribution to the club or football as a whole.  Although this list attempts to counter this by including only long-serving or "otherwise important" (how do you quantify that?) directors, it's simply turned into a repository of everyone who's been on the board in the last decade or so...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no need for a seperate article, any useful info can be merged into the main article. GiantSnowman 16:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Delete or merge to Main. Hubschrauber729 (talk) 21:48, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
