Conversation copied from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Individual squad articles:

“ Do we really want separate articles for team squads now? Surely it's enough with both inclusion in the main Sheffield United article as well as a template.. Punkmorten 22:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
In a word, no. That article is merely a combination of the squadlist from the team article and minor details from each player's article. Somewhat pointless in my opinion. Oldelpaso 22:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Definitely, delete it. There is also e.g. Sheffield Wednesday F.C. squad, which should be deleted along with it. Qwghlm 23:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Pointless, in my opinion. AFd it. HornetMike 23:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

So let's get this deleted. Punkmorten 22:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete both, duplication of existing material in Sheffield United F.C.#Current squad and Sheffield_Wednesday F.C.#Current_first-team_squad. Additional information is just clutter - dates of birth and careers are best left inside the players' own articles. Qwghlm 22:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. HornetMike 22:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per discussion. – Elisson • T • C • 23:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Is it too late to roll Sheffield United F.C. managers in with the same discussion? The squad article at least does contain a bit more detail than the squad list within the main article, but the page detailing the managers is just an exact duplication of the list on the main article..... ChrisTheDude 09:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Oh yeah, and delete the squad articles ChrisTheDude 09:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Yes, please nominate that article in a separate AFD. Punkmorten 09:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but remove the duplicated section from Sheffield United article and use the template instead - this is a big improvement on the list in Sheffield United and its author deserves praise. roundhouse 21:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • I had a look at the SWFC list. I can't see what the objection to this is - OK, I can find all the info if I wade through 40 or so individual player articles (but who is going to do this?) but here we have a nice informative synthesis on one page (which I could print off in one go). Eg it gives an immediate overview of the (impressive) numbers coming through the academy. roundhouse 09:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, players' articles are the good place for deeper infos. We already have a squad section for each club article, and an apposite template. --Angelo 03:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
