 * Delete per nom. – Elisson • Talk 22:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopedic listcruft. lowercase  18:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep As per my reading it doesn't violate policy. Is a very useful list in the correct circumstances. aLii 23:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia." (from WP:NOT). Violates policy to me. -EdGl 22:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Pretty much every article on wikipedia could be argued to breach that, if you were so inclined. The policy is very specific about what kind of lists shouldn't be allowed:
 * Lists of Frequently Asked Questions. Wikipedia articles should not list FAQs. Instead, format the information provided as neutral prose within the appropriate article(s). You may want to consider contributing FAQ lists to Wikibooks.
 * Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as quotations, aphorisms, or persons. If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic. Wikipedia also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference.

 * The specifics in this section of policy you're talking about are merely instances where the community has already made a consensus. There is no consensus yet for the issue right here in this afd, which we are trying to make right now! :-) The argument I'm trying to make wouldn't work on "pretty much every article on wikipedia", but it sure is working on this one...

 * Keep. This is not just another list, it is definitive and informative. It answers the question "Which teams, clubs, countries are sponsored by Umbro?" I question whether it is notable but I have seen many lists that beggar the same question which are kept. -- Alias Flood 01:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
