[edit] Deletion

Could we not keep this article as, although there is a category which covers deaths, it does not provide the details or deaths of said players GiantSnowman 11:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The players listed can be incoporated under the relevant headings, right? Cristiano Junior already is. I'm not sure why they're listed separately. - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Footballers who died while playing → List of footballers who died while playing — For the simple reason that this is more of a list that an standalone article —Willirennen 13:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Support Or a similar title with "List of..." -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Except that "footballers" is confusing for Americans. --woggly 13:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Not really. Americans always call people who play American football "football players", never "footballers". Dekimasuよ! 14:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Footballers who died while playing to List of footballers who died while playing as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 06:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing

I propose that we remove all players who lack a reference which indicated that they actually died while playing - people's thoughts? If there is no reply in the next few days I shall be bold and go ahead and remove said players. GiantSnowman (talk) 00:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
