List of Spanish football transfers summer 2009[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list is referenced and probably complete. However, I don't think it has a place on wikipedia. Transfers in one of the largest leagues in the world are notable, but I do not see the point of having anything but a short article discussing only the notable transfers.

Keep WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS? After all the hard work I've been doing every day for more than two months during the summer and you want to remove it? This type of transfer articles are found on Wikipedia for almost every European football league. Why only the Spanish one? And by the way... what is "notable players" for you? Kaka and Cristiano? What a lack of respect for the other La Liga and Segunda División players who don't have a limitless salary like these two... Qampunen (talk) 09:38, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not my sort of article, but it appears it is good enough for other leagues and other years, is fully referenced and User:Qampunen has a valid point regarding an abbreviated option - what is notable? over 95% of the transfers listed have a page for the player - surely by definition they are notables.--118.90.126.115 (talk) 08:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but should be considered to divide between leagues. Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:15, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - list of transfers are established on Wikipedia, no valid reason to delete. Giant Snowman 20:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not my area of expertise, but lists of transfers are accepted on Wikipedia and this one is referenced very well. Argyle 4 Life^talk 04:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification to reviewers I am not proposing that the entire article should be deleted. I think that transfers in La Liga ARE notable, but I do not know why all the 500+ entries including also Segunda Division should be included. The least, this list should be split so it does not take 2 minutes to load. Nergaal (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have listed it under "Articles for Deletion"! If all you are proposing is that it be split into two articles, why not raise it on the article talk page. I would suggest that you start at List of English football transfers summer 2009 (or better yet, List of English football transfers summer 2010) as that is a longer list with more eyes watching and more likely to generate a true consensus to any such proposal. Anything that gets through there is likely to be a breeze for these similar lists.--ClubOranje^T 02:25, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
