Could be kept as a translation target. DTLHS (talk) 03:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
The players of various sorts have been discussed earlier: tennis player, football player, baseball player, basketball player, chess player... If I recall right, they were kept because they can be professions. Golf player is missing, but a golf player is called golfer. --Hekaheka (talk) 12:49, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
There is also hockey player and field hockey player. Ice hockey isn't played in a lot of countries, so the use of these terms can differ from country to country. I would say keep all of them. DonnanZ (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Delete. As I pointed out for previous "X players" (though ignored by everyone), it's not specific to someone who does it professionally: you can be "a bad tennis player". These entries are precisely as silly as "euphonium player" would be. Equinox 02:38, 5 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Delete this and all similar ones where the meaning is no more than "person who plays X". Mihia (talk) 21:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Keep for translation purposes. There are languages with a single word for this, similar to golfer in English. Voortle (talk) 09:18, 25 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Deleted. Closure is solely for this specific entry. bd2412 T 18:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
