Melbourne Victory Notable Players

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The inclusion criteria given is so vague that the list consists solely of OR. Openly states that there are players who have played less than 50 matches and also includes others who have made vague unspecified "significant contributions". Furthermore this list seems to be an unnecessary fork from the club article. I removed this list from the club article originally for the reasons above plus the club article already has tables related to top appearances and goals so seems duplication. Essentially this page is WP:CRUFT. Fenix down (talk) 13:12, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete: A POV list of "notable" players. SL93 (talk) 23:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The editor who created this article had previously tried to include this content in the Melbourne Victory FC article. It was removed and it was explained to him that much clearer criteria are required. Rather than addressing that issue, he has just created this article, with exactly the same content, AND the same problems as his addition to the other article. This is both a pointless, POV, fan drive article, and a demonstration that an editor is trying to avoid a consensus reached elsewhere. It demonstrates very bad faith. I must also add that it should be unnecessary for all the material on the Talk page of the article to be repeated here in order to get rid of this nonsense. Contentious editors should not be able to force volunteer editors working in good faith to do even more work. HiLo48 (talk) 02:33, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. Who judges if this list is correct in the long run? This article's creator alone. This does not sound like sound subjective judgement in my view. --Artene50 (talk) 01:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV article that will remain WP:CRUFT.Doctorhawkes (talk) 02:22, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

[NOTE: Editors need to be aware that this editor has created multiple instances of garbage, all in defiance of requests to him back at the original article. You may also want to comment at Articles for deletion/List of international Melbourne Victory players. (Although I have put a note there pointing out that everything said here also applies there.) ] HiLo48 (talk) 03:04, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - unnecessary duplication of List of Melbourne Victory F.C. players as all MV A-League players are considered notable. The list in the article contains players with as few as two A-League appearances - it is not clear how a player with two appearances could be any more notable than any other player.
