WP:NOTSTATS, list is too specific and only mentions men's singles players (as opposed to doubles players) who represented the UK at some point in their career. While this could be improved I can not see a reason why this can't be a category or mentioned on the specific subjects' articles (which they generally are). The UK is the only country I could find with a specific list of country-specific number 1s, and there is not a list for British women's players either.

Keep: There's no reason to delete this. It passes any guidance issues and is independently referenced. You also state that there isn't a women's list. Therefore why don't you create one? And the UK being the only country to have such a list is not a valid reason for deleting the article. Rillington (talk) 14:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
