We don't need separate articles for squad lists for each PSL tournament. The same squad tables are listed in the team articles e.g. Islamabad United in 2022, and the useful basic squad information is listed in the season article e.g. 2023 Pakistan Super League#Squads, with the changes listed in the player draft articles e.g. 2023 Pakistan Super League players draft. No need for a list of all the squads together in a separate article- generally we only do this for ICC World Cup events. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

- Agreed. We might want to redirect to the relevant season article rather than delete - as much as anything to stop the recreation of these sorts of articles. I'd be entirely happy with deleting though - this is just unnecessary. It looks to me as if there's also a huge use of flags and decorative colour on related articles that needs dealing with as well.

- Agreed. Same thoughts as Blue Square Thing. Bs1jac (talk) 12:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment redirecting to the correct section in the main season articles seems fine to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:13, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to relevant section As per BST. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:13, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- It's worth noting that in some cases squad lists on article pages are transcluded from these. I'm working my way through to deal with them., but it'll take a bit of time. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:31, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've managed to get through and, I think, dealt with all the transclusions. I don't think I missed any anyway. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect if the draft articles for each season clarify the squad. M. Billoo 15:01, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
