List of football teams with more supporters on Facebook

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unencylopedic list with no signs of significance. Could be merged into Supporters' groups as it is listed on the page. ///Euro Car GT  05:20, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete More supporters than what? What a totally pointless list.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:07, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is utter rubbish and has no place in an encyclopaedia. – PeeJay 09:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete as pure WP:LISTCRUFT. GiantSnowman 19:28, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - probably the most ludicrous concept for an article ever, totally unencyclopedic -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:58, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't believe I'm writing this, but this topic may be notable. A number of possibly reliable sources seem to have covered this topic over a number of years: Goal.com, 2012, Bleacher Report, 2013, Deadspin, 2013 (NB: American football), Caught Offside, 2011. On the other hand, this seems like an easy way to grind out a blog post without having to do much research or thought; the football-blog equivalent of a Buzzfeed quiz.

 * Firstly, more supporters than what? Secondly, the number of likes a person or an organization has on Facebook is not notable in and of itself — and since it's a number that's subject to constant fluctuation as new fans click "like" and old ones get disillusioned with the team and click "unlike" or quit Facebook altogether, a dynamic list of this type is virtually unmaintanable.

 * Why wasn't this speedily deleted as patent nonsense?  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:29, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Because it's not gibberish. Speedy deletion is already massively abused; let's not promote further misuse. Pburka (talk) 22:35, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - this absolutely viotates WP:LISTCRUFT. – Michael (talk) 01:33, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * First of all Pburka is completely right in your way to think, he understood what is the goal of the article. My opinion for the users that can't understand "more supporters", the article can be renamed changing more for most. Furthermore, the warning that says this article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages has to be removed, because now there isn't more links to any disambiguation pages.

 * It is good to note that has a lot of reliable sites that disclose almost monthly lists of football teams with more supporters and obviously my vote is to Keep ! Mgaprbr (talk) 02:57, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. List has an ill-defined scope (more supporters than what benchmark, or an increasing number of supporters compared with what prior point in time?). It is doomed to be incomplete and, if the latter definition of more is used, will frequently go out of date. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate trivia. —C.Fred (talk) 03:02, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - List crap that won't be missed! - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  04:04, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Snow delete. And the award for most pointless list created on Wikipedia in 2014 goes to... Jrcla2 (talk) 20:40, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft, plus its title makes no sense. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 22:01, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary list. Incomprehensible title.  209.90.140.72 (talk) 23:50, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - pure Listcruft. Article, inherently begs the question, "More supporters than what?" In the ground? Obviously, most big clubs have more fans than they could hold in their stadium. In general? Probably not, why would a "facebook fan" not be a general fan? How do you establish what these terms actually mean anyway? Fenix down (talk) 12:22, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I change my vote, now this article is unbecoming and has to be deleted now! Delete! Mgaprbr (talk) 03:05, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
