Deletion of List of professional sportspeople convicted of crimes

Comment: As discussed at WT:FOOTY, I don't believe there are any problems with this list that aren't fixable. There's plenty of referenced material and plenty more that can be found. Incompleteness isn't a reason for deletion, nor is untidiness, nor are gaps in referencing. I have some concerns over , but like every single Wikipedia article, we need to remain vigilant for BLP breaches; we're hardly going to delete every single article. Again, that's no reason for deletion. The list is useful, can be NPOV and Verifiable. Why delete

Comment: While it may fall under  or , it is highly used by some teachers/coaches that I know to help keep their students in line.  Although most people would not think this is very important, from an educational standpoint, I think it is prudent to show that athletes are not perfect it should be made easier to use as a cross reference to show that it also isn't a recent development in sports as well.  I do recommend that it should be cleaned up overall, though

Comment: there's quite a bit of commentary on the issue of crime among sportspeople, so this is ''not'' just a random intersection of two qualities.  As for the arguments along the lines of "What about List of newscasters who are allergic to cats," then if at some point there starts to be significant commentary (multiple articles and books written) about the unusually high prevalence of cat allergies among newscasters, then yes, at that point we should have List of newscasters who are allergic to cats too. In response to the claim that a close eye would have to be kept on the article to avoid addition of unnecessary information, yes, that's certainly true but |not a reason to delete. I certainly have at least a couple of articles on my watchlist where people often add unsourced and OR examples, but that's not a reason to delete those articles
