Hey all! I'm trying to update the NFL database and some players are old and need to be deleted. How do you delete players from the database? I already know how to edit players. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the site!

If the players that you find were correct players that played in the past on that team, they don't need to be deleted. Just move them to his current team or to the "retired" team if currently has no team. This can be done by clicking on the "Edit Player Details" button and selecting on the team field "_Retired American Football".

Only Mods can delete players and this is only on rare occasions as we like to keep history. As mentioned, just edit the player and select the _retired team.

Happy to have you here, American sports is an area that certainly needs active users to work on it.

To help out a little, I extended the feature of the green tick next to the team name on the NFL League page.

A green tick means that all artwork, players and data has been completed for that team. Its really helpful to find out which teams need working on and is a nice sense of achievement when it turns green finally



The minus number indicates how many players are missing artwork or data.

Nice. I've finished almost half of the teams in the league now, so you can add more of those green checkmarks lol. Teams include Saints, Panthers, Eagles, Cardinals, Bears, Falcons, Ravens, Cowboys, Browns, Broncos, Patriots, Colts, Chargers, Lions, and Giants.

Great work, the feature is automatic so it will change when all artwork is uploaded. I think a fair few of those teams are missing single fanarts which just need to be uploaded for the green tick to appear.
