This list is indiscriminate, does not get updated, and only has sections for a few countries, never mind the fact that it's largely unsourced for most inclusions. If we were to try and make this article correctly, it would be absolutely huge, considering the amount of professional football managers there are that could have gotten this licence. The best option is to delete; this article has little to no purpose. Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:54, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is almanac content and I'm pretty sure the only reason it was originally split was to fix the article it was split from, but UEFA Pro License is a terrible little stub now. That said, it's not clear how retaining this fixes the other thing. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 17:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. Lists of qualifications serve no purpose. Giant Snowman 19:47, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a pointless list. In most European top division football leagues (and some lower leagues), the managers need to have this qualification. So this is just a list of all managers in those leagues. No need for a list of everyone with this qualification, in the same way as you wouldn't do so for everyone with a degree in e.g. maths.

Delete - I agree with Joseph and pretty much want to echo what he says here. There is little to no encyclopaedic value to an exhaustive list of everybody that has obtained this qualification, it is not an exclusive enough club and there is little evidence that this group of coaches are discussed as a group, as is one of the general requirements of WP:LISTN. For similar reasons, I would also oppose a list of all people that have obtained a CeMAP, PGCE etc. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 08:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: needless, especially when the top leagues all managers have it or else they wouldn't be managing. its only notable when they dont have it like that one guy in the PL recently who had to leave after a short while due to not having one.Muur (talk) 21:45, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
