Journeyman (football) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Article has nothing except an imprecise definition, contrary to What Wikipedia is not, and a list with no clear criteria (which is original research) and a very heavy UK bias. Kevin McE (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Journeyman is here to stay. The term is a frequently used by pundits and commentators and it seems perfectly valid that someone should be able to look up the term and see some notable examples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.86.45 (talk • contribs)

• Delete - as per nomination, although intro might be kept and used in Football Terminology article. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Merge somewhere Redirect to Journeyman (sports) as per TJ Spyke - don't merge, the definition is essentially wrong and the great long (mostly unsourced) list adds nothing to the reader's understanding, and some of the examples of alleged "journeyman" players are frankly ludicrous -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Redirect to Journeyman (sports). Article is nothing more than a stub with a list of players. The list of players is not needed and it can be mentioned on the sports page. TJ Spyke 21:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to existing article located at Journeyman (sports). GiantSnowman 21:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Journeyman (sports) per above.... simply makes sense, "Journeyman (football)" is not quite right and there is already an article which explains it. List of players is a) fairly superfluous, and b) not consistent with true definition.--ClubOranje^T 08:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I was unaware of Journeyman (sports) when I proposed this for deletion, but I wonder whether the redirect would be of much use:"Journeyman (football)" is a fairly unlikely set to keystrokes if one did not know that the article was thus named.

• Delete. A redirect would be pointless, per Kevin McE's argument above. JulesH (talk) 17:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
