Deletion of List of football referees

Comment: to List of association football referees (it is currently a list of soccer referees only) and delete the redlinks (or non-notable names). Quite a few soccer referees are notable (see  for eligibility), and having a list of them is legitimate per  etc.  It is totally legitimate to have both a list and a category for referees - see  for an explanation why

Comment: I've struck my delete vote per , but I've never understood the value of generic lists with no real inclusion criteria. Hack's suggestion to rename this list looks like the best option

Comment: per Warden and Phil Bridger, perhaps renaming to clarify scope. This is a perfectly sensible list and the subject is obviously notable. Nomination complains of things that can be solved by |editing instead of deletion, per deletion policy. Most delete !votes are either variations of  or ignore  point 1
Stance: keep
