List of football players from small colleges

Subjective page that seems to be used for bookkeeping purposes only. Violates WP:OR because the definition of "small" college is subjective. Perhaps move the page to WikiProject College football. — X96lee15 (talk) 01:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page:

 * Delete both, as no defining criterion exists for "small" college. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 11:16, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There are criteria: players from colleges where the college doesn't have its own Wikipedia category for players. Of course, a category should probably just be made. I've seen categories with as few as three players listed, while some of the schools in this list have more than that. (No one would ever accuse SUNY Albany of being a football powerhouse.) &mdash;Wrathchild (talk) 19:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The definition problem could easily be fixed by limiting it to schools whose football programs are NCAA Divisions II and III, and those that are NAIA. Not voting a keep, however, since there are other problems on setting limits.  I suppose that the intent is to list blue-linked players who played football for a "small" college, but that would still be a large number.  Mandsford (talk) 00:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - non-notable trivial intersection of topics. see also: Articles for deletion/List of university-educated footballers. This is the flipside of the same coin. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  02:36, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
