List of Nigerian expatriate football players
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A list which is out of date, incomplete, and unrefenced. already exists and provides similar information. Previous AfDs which have resulted in "delete" – one, two, three, four – show that such lists are pointless and listcruft. Note, the previous AfD for this article resulted in a "no consensus."

 * Delete I wouldn't say pointless listcraft, however lists like this will tend to go on forever and become too long. I think the category on it's own will suffice. Govvy (talk) 19:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As per prior consensus on similar articles. To answer the question from the previous AfD; this kind of info is easily accessible using catscan (Nigerians in the Premier League, Serie A, Eredivisie etc). King of the  North   East  09:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete the category will suffice. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete this list is redundant to the category, ill maintained and badly-referenced. – Toon 17:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - A list and a category are not the same thing, and have different utility to users. I am not sure comments like "category will suffice" are adequate to support deletion. Rlendog (talk) 21:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
