List of Schalke 04 players

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced and seemingly indiscriminate list of football players. Lacks context and has no supporting prose. Fails WP:LISTN. - MrX 20:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Delete: It has no context. At least a lead paragraph should be added because this article makes little sense to an unknowing reader. Piguy101 (talk) 22:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Delete as redundant. There is a list on the main article FC Schalke 04 with the current squad and notable former players. The rest is served by Category:FC Schalke 04 players. --Ben Ben (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete as redundant per Ben Ben. GoldenRing (talk) 09:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - such lists are not redundant if created properly, and many are FLs - see for example List of Birmingham City F.C. players. This one, however, has no discernable inclusion criteria, so just seems to be a laundry list of random players.  Maybe nuke and start over if someone feels like creating a version which does have proper inclusion criteria.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:23, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per A-1. -Ad Orientem (talk) 11:34, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - per BenBen. No inclusion criteria means this can only merely duplicate the category link already in place in the club article. Fenix down (talk) 06:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Schalke_04, can later be standalone again if expanded into a proper article. I see no reason to delete. —Kusma (t·c) 13:05, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect - per Kusma, can be resurrected if/when someone can be bothered to bring it up to scratch. GiantSnowman 18:55, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
