Comment: I don't know why, but WP:NSPORT has no section on footballers. The sourcing only consists of trivial routine announcements. Many of the "articles" are less than a paragraph long, and they are all about signings, simple numerical data, and non-prose database entries. Ca talk to me! 14:00, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
