List of female basketball players

This is an unmaintainable list that adds nothing to categories. I have googled all four red links on the list and three of the four of them have no business ever being articles. B (talk) 16:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is what Category:Women's basketball players is for. The article is just a bare list of names and adds nothing to what the category provides. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above comments. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per everyone. Basically this list would include every player in one whole professional league. It's too unmaintainable and is made redundant by a category Doc Strange^{Mailbox Orbitting Black Hole}Strange Frequencies 18:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Already covered by a category, and there's nothing particularly notable (at least not anymore) about listing female basketball players. The list could have hundreds of names. 23skidoo (talk) 19:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Completely unmaintainable. This list could also include every player at every NCAA or NAIA school that fields a women's team, not to mention international colleges and universities. not practical. DarkAudit (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article does NOT meet the criteria for deletion. The content of this article is valuable to the WikiProject Countering systemic bias. And clearly, Editors have continued to contribute to it. The article should be kept and improved, and perhaps targeted to become one of the Wikipedia:Featured lists. It is just as maintainable as the List of Eagle Scouts or the List of basketball players from small colleges.

As Admins and Editors, we should be focused on improving the content of Wikipedia, not diminishing it, and assisting any Editors who grow Wikipedia. Placing an AfD tag, rather than a {{Prod}} or {{Cleanup}} tag, could be misconstrued an abuse of leadership, if not Admin powers. I would encourage those of you who have followed the pack in "delete" voting, to think collaboratively. Consider contacting and assisting Editors who might be interested in improving this article... perhaps even become a mentor and make this your project with the mentee.

Delete As likely redundancy and very incomplete. I guess the category/sub categories are more then enough as there are tons of female basketball players. --JForget 23:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
