List of Spain international goalkeepers

This article is an example of overlisting; List of Spain international footballers already exists and no other national team listed in is split into seperate positions. GiantSnowman 23:57, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. An interesting one. Though GS is right about no other country seeming to have a list like this, I can see its advantages. This may well be an argument for "the others should have this" rather than "Spain shouldn't have this". Grutness...wha?  01:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definite example of "overlisting". The position of goalkeeper for the Spanish national team is no more special than any other position or for any other team. – PeeJay 01:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete agreed - no need to create lists of positions. If such a list is desired, break up the nation's list of national players by position. Except left fullbacks, they should get their own lists.Vulture19 (talk) 01:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see anything wrong with this; the list is long enough to suggest that there are plenty of people who fit into it, and maybe some reader would want to see all the goalkeepers rather than just all the players. if there is a concern, then the full list could be broken up into sections for each position (as Vulture19 suggested) and this could be merged in. r  ʨ  ana ɢ  talk/contribs 14:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Better than a list of names, but data could be expanded further. Agathoclea (talk) 17:49, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete 'overlisting', yes. It is partial duplicate information of List of Spain international footballers, and splitting these information by role is nothing special. If you want instead to make such a list, please follow the suggestion by Vulture19. --Angelo (talk) 19:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - it would be better served adding a position column to the main list, and making it sortable. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 20:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Hubschrauber729 (talk) 20:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. A goalkeeper performs a substantially different role to other players.  This seems to be a useful navigational aid, providing additional information not currently available in other lists.  I see no reason to delete it. JulesH (talk) 08:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - if the article is kept, can one of the keep !voters at least volunteer to update an article which is over two years out of date.........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete easily served in a category, no evidence it could be expanded further. Secret account 22:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because of overlisting. Perhaps a category can be made of it. Themfromspace (talk) 02:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
