*'''Delete''' as random trivia. If kept rename to [[List of sportspeople convicted of a crime]]. Not only is "felony" U.S. centric, but so is this usage of "athlete", and many of the most prominent sportspeople in history were amateurs (especially outside the U.S.).

*'''Keep''' ''Disclaimer - I am the creator and primary contributor to this article''. I consider "indiscriminate" the most overused word in AFDs (see my comments on the AFD talk page awhile back). If you are sports fan, you know that criminality among athletes is an oft-discussed and oft-reported subject. I created this article to bring together the many pieces of information on this subject (which were usually not complete). I certainly feel there is nothing "indiscriminate" about it.

List of professional athletes who have been convicted of crimes
- List of professional athletes who have been convicted of crimes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Delete per WP:NOT collection of indiscriminate information. Else rename to List of professional athletes who have been convicted of a felony. Gilliam 20:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Even if moved to "felony" it's still a non-notable juncture. Lots of people are convicted daily, not just athletes but ordinary people. This list is WP:IINFO totally indiscriminate. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 20:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, though it's not an obvious application of the "indiscriminate information" policy. If we compare lists to categories (which we often do), we realize that "athletes" and "convicted criminals" is an offbeat intersection of two unrelated human characteristics (see criteria at WP:CFD). So it doesn't make sense to have a list about this offbeat intersection. That being said, it should be confirmed that each individual article has the reference among its references before the admin hits "delete." Shalom Hello 20:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This one needs work, obviously, but the format is good and it is well-documented, a rare treasure in a Wikipedia article. Ordinary people are convicted daily of felonies, true; but professional athletes, like politicians or actors, aren't ordinary. It helps to have an accurate source about which athletes have been charged, convicted and sentenced; and what they were actually convicted of, since this isn't well known. I think the criteria for inclusion are well defined, with a mix of the famous and the infamous. Mandsford 01:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and rename List of professional athletes convicted of felony. It is not indiscriminate, nor is it a particularly offbeat intersection. It's major news when it happens, and there's no other good way to get all the info in one place. Clarityfiend 02:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I think this is the textbook definition of a trivial intersection. WP:OC Corpx 02:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It might be easier to compile a list of pro athletes who have not been convicted of crimes. ~ Infrangible 03:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Obviously it could run into being a rather large list, but I think an article like this could prove quite useful if done right. MrSec 03:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Rename to List of professional athletes who have been convicted of a felony per nom. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 07:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Do not rename Please do not rename like this. Felony is a US-specific word with no official meaning in most other jurisdictions, and therefore would be a clear case of WP:BIAS. No opinion on whether or not the article should be deleted. JulesH 09:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
