Ranked list of association football players, with no explanation whatsoever given of what the ranking criteria are or who's doing the ranking. Might just be creator's own self-selected favourites or might be WP:COPYVIO from some other unspecified source, I can't tell — but either way, it's not a thing we should be keeping. I would actually have speedy deleted this, but it's already been speedied once and then got recreated a second time. Still a delete regardless of whether we go with speedy or AFD though.

 * Delete per WP:LSC because the selection criteria will necessarily be subjective. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:35, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete-per nom, looks like a list of somebody's opinions to be honest. Wgolf (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and, if there's a chance it might be recreated, salt if necessary. No context and no claim for notability or sourcing. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:41, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is a magazine called World Soccer, but I can find no evidence that they published a list of the greatest players of the 21th (sic) century, so this may well just be some fan's personal listing. Even if it was published in the mag, I can find no evidence that the mag's list attained any notability (and that's ignoring the possibility of COPYVIO) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:13, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can't find evidence of WP:COPYVIO since World Soccer's players of the 20th Century can be found here. There is, however, a lot of WP:OR and WP:CRYSTAL involved since there is no possible way to have a list of the best players of the 21st Century with 84 years remaining. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 20:33, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
