How many hundreds of people would actually belong on this list? RickK 08:04, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

From VfD[edit]

  • List of retired NHL players. In the 80 or so years that the NHL has existed, how many hundreds of people would fit on this list? RickK 08:06, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Another entry for the [Wikipedia Book of Lists (see wikipedia talk:list) - Marshman 08:30, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Many. So what? Wikipedia is not paper. We can have articles for every one of them. So a list to find them seems fine to me. -- JeLuF 08:59, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Note also List of current NHL players. This is not a vote on either article. Onebyone 14:59, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Although I would in principle be for merging the two lists, the result would be awfully long, so I guess I'll vote to keep. Andre Engels 16:29, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Good category. Martin 17:33, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Hockey fans might find this useful. -Nydigoveth 18:10, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Useless pointless list. What next, Retired NFL players who have had heart attacks, Retired NFL players who have had 2 heart attacks, bin. FearÉIREANN 22:29, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Should probably be split up by team or by decade at some point. - SimonP 23:05, Oct 25, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, excellent; relevant list. Separate alphabetically or maybe by country of origin, as it grows too large, some have played in multiple teams, and decades are too fuzzy and difficult to ascertain. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick 02:20, Oct 26, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, could be useful Tuf-Kat 14:03, Oct 26, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. -- Jake 16:11, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • It could be merged with List of current NHL players and put in chronological order. In that way, the retired/current distinction becomes mute. mydogategodshat 08:58, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Actual suggestions made in the above:

  • Separate alphabetically or maybe by country of origin, as it grows too large
  • It could be merged with List of current NHL players and put in chronological order

Peter Forsberg[edit]

peter forsberg is listed in both List of current NHL players AND List of retired NHL players. Which is it? He can't be in both. I think at his age, it is premature to officially call himself retired from the NHL. Many other stars, such as Jari Kurri have 'retired' for a year or two in other leagues only to return to the NHL. I am removing Forsberg's name off this list. From: Masterhatch

Discuss possible merger[edit]

There is a discussion about a possible merger of the player list pages here: Talk:List of NHL players. Masterhatch 16 August 2005
