Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nottingham Forest F.C. players
The 100-appearance cutoff point is arbitrary, but it restricts the list to manageable proportions. There's no original research involved in setting such a criterion for inclusion. By , ''all'' footballers having made a Football League appearance for these clubs are notable. A couple of years ago, we introduced all such lists in a similar manner, and included "extra" players, club record-holders and the like: see the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Arsenal_F.C._players&oldid=46034453 originally-featured version of List of Arsenal F.C. players, which had pretty much identical wording to this list. We do things differently these days, but that's something that could and should be sorted out with a quick word on the article talk page, not by deleting the article. cheers
