I clicked the link, and apparently the Wikipedia article has been deleted. I read the discussion notes that the Wiki editors made about the status of the article, and apparently the information was considered too trivial for inclusion, which, given what Wikipedia does include, is a distinction difficult to achieve. However, I rather think that distinction is even more difficult to achieve here on this board and thus that the matter is not too trivial for inclusion here.
I remember when this article came up for discussion on Wikipedia. The biggest problem was that most of the players listed were already dead. There were 20 players listed who were 110 years or older in one part of the article, which is obviously not possible. When looked over, it was found that most of the players listed were already dead, some having been dead for decades.
Because of this, and the fact that it would be rather difficult to maintain such a list, it was deleted. However, if someone were willing to put up the effort to keep the list current, and source it with something that showed the listed players as being alive (newspapers, books, reliable websites, etc), then it would probably stay alive, and make an excellent article.
