List of future football stars

Violation of WP:CRYSTAL - how does one know who a "future" star is? Mr. Vernon (talk) 20:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, WP:CRYSTAL, impossible to maintain and vulnerable to POV/COI issues. Ironholds (talk) 20:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - subjective, unverifiable, unmaintainable. JohnCD (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If this isn't an instance of WP:CRYSTAL, what is? (The title made me laugh, though.) --Orlady (talk) 20:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; perhaps speedily. It may be snowing soon. Obvious violation of WP:NOT, particularly the "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" clause. Antandrus (talk) 20:45, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's now just snowing, it's a blizzard! Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:08, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Blatant violation of "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" (and perhaps other policies and guidelines). Delete, obviously. (In fact I originally speedily deleted the article, but I think the debate ought to be allowed to run for at least some time - I won't object to another admin closing it early, though.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, obvious delete imo, Crystal... and Snowball — CHAN DLER ^#10 — 22:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete obvious violation of WP:CRYSTAL. By the way, is it snowing now? --Angelo (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per all the comments pointing out the crystal ball violation. King of the North East 23:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A valuable resource, thoroughly researched, and a clearly referenced collation of key information for anyone with any interest in the sport. Nah. Delete as the antithesis of everything I just said. Kevin McE (talk) 00:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Please, for the love of God, delete this artcile - nothing but speculation and crystalballery. Giant Snowman 01:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to mention "and puffery, possibly self-promotion." --Orlady (talk) 02:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Jogurney (talk) 03:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per everyone who got here first, and for not including my son (actually he's not interested in football at all, but it's a good line :-) ) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't really need to add anything, other than we're now experiencing blizzard conditions... Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 10:54, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Today, Wikipedia should expect snowy conditions. (And where's my friend Olivia's brother, who plays for a youth team in Morecambe?) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 10:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
