The result was Delete this article. I see a consensus to delete the nominated article, but the later additions need their own AFD. Yomangani^talk 15:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and should not have squad lists for every season of every club in every team sport ever. Punkmorten 08:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It's relevant, and could easily be of interest to football fans - I know it would be if this were in a sport I followed. Rebecca 09:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete. We have over 1,000 articles on English football clubs alone, and probably somewhere around 10,000 articles on football (soccer) clubs. Let's assume they have played an average of 50 seasons. That's 500,000 articles. And we have not yet even started counting clubs in other sports, like this one. I do not want to see that. – Elisson • T • C • 12:53, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • BTW, this AfD should probably include all articles listed here, as well. – Elisson • T • C • 12:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. This is data, not knowledge. Zunaid^{©Please rate me at Editor Review!} 13:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not a very good categorisation. We could have an article for a particular year for a particular team. Delete per nom. Imoeng 14:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - although I'm not normally in favour of deletions like this, it is a list that would be easily available on any AFL Fan site. Wikipedia doesn't need separate pages for all of these. Capitalistroadster has convinced me. I forgot this was their premiership year. Rewrite in new article. JROBBO 05:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per User:Elisson, I'd like to expand this nomination to include all the articles listed at Adelaide Crows#Previous Adelaide playing lists. Delete all per WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Zunaid^{©Please rate me at Editor Review!} 15:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I would prefer that it be rewritten about the Adelaide Crows 1998 season including information about the squad. After all, they won their second premiership that year and information about how they did so is readily available and of interest. The same applies for other seasons as well.

• comment. I agree with Capitalistroadster. JPD (talk) 09:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is not a serial repository for all the possible combination of lists in the world. --Angelo 01:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• comment there's a few more team player lists in Category:Australian rules football player lists. --Scott Davis ^Talk 01:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
