Does not satisfy WP:NLIST; surely better as a category. – Meena • 18:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Judging from Category:Finnish ice hockey players by position, Wikipedia must have over 1,000 articles about Finnish hockey players, which suggests that this list would be unmanageable. While Finland is one of the top countries in the world for ice hockey, I note that we don't have articles such as List of Canadian ice hockey players, List of Russian ice hockey players, List of Swedish ice hockey players, List of American ice hockey players, or List of Czech ice hockey players, to cover several of the other hockey powers, and so we don't need this one either. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:04, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Agreed; we have categories for this, and a list article would be wholly unmanageable. Ravenswing 22:18, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SALAT: "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value". Clarityfiend (talk) 00:32, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this can be handled by a category, it is too broad a category to create a sustainable list on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:33, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Better handled as a category. LibStar (talk) 03:36, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
