List of former Brisbane Bears players
Since this club is defunct, all players are "former" players to begin with. And besides, it's already taken up by Category:Brisbane Bears players, so the lists's purpose is at best unclear... Circeus 20:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. While the list is incomplete, there are several red links meaning articles that have to be created. As all Bears players were players in a fully professional league, they warrant articles and this list is an appropriate way of managing the development of those articles as opposed to a category.

 * Keep A list of notable players from a defunct notable club. Seems to meet WP:N to me. Needs to be tidied up though. Assize 07:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename to List of Brisbane Lions/Brisbane Bears players. Unlike the genuinely defunct Fitzroy Football Club, a continuity of history between the the Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions is generally accepted by the Australian Football League in publications such as the AFL Record and in the statistics section of the official AFL website - see here. -- Mattinbgn\talk 12:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, rename, merge to List of Brisbane Lions/Brisbane Bears players (Brisbane Lions being the new Brisbane Bears), per Mattinbgn. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons listed above. I would also be open to the merge/rename.  --Roisterer 04:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
