[edit] Criteria

The article name contradicts the lead description. Is it former players only or both former and current? If former players only, the lead should be changed. If former and current, the article should be called List of Sheffield United F.C. players. --Jameboy (talk) 01:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Jameboy - the convention in Category:Lists of footballers by club is 'List of XXX players'. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 13:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I also agree with this. hawksworthm (talk) 20:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Move per standard conventions of WP:FOOTY and WP:MOS.Woody (talk) 20:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Move: List of Sheffield United F.C. former playersList of Sheffield United F.C. players
Reason: in order to fit the existing WP:FOOTY naming conventions, as well as to meet the criteria specified in the list's own lead.

As a side issue, I recommend that inclusion criteria be applied and the players tabulated (List of Aston Villa F.C. players is a good example to follow) as the list looks like it is turning into a copy of the Category:Sheffield United F.C. players --Jameboy (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
