I'm certainly not an expert on acceptable numbers of players for various games, so here is a meta-list of other lists on this topic -- the collected wisdom of BGG-ers about player cardinality, as of September 25, 2004.

How I created the list:

1. I looked through the first 1000 hits of a Google search for GeekList candidates about numbers of players: http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:geeklist+players+-inurl:commentid

2. Whenever I found a relevant GeekList, I fed it the URL into the following Ruby script to generate the nicely formatted description: the GeekList title, the author, and the list of games on the first page of the GeekList:

url = ARGV[0]
title = nil
user = nil
game = nil
games = []
`lynx -source #{url}`.split("\n").each {|line|
if title == nil and line =~ / GeekList: (.*) / then
title = $1
end
if user == nil and line =~ /^\s+(.*) (.*) .*User Profile/ then
user = "#{$1} #{$2}"
end
if line =~ /game.(\d+)">([^<]+)</ then
if game == nil then game = $1 end
games << $2
end
}
puts
puts
puts
puts game + "\"#{title}\" by " + user
puts url
puts
puts games.join(", ")
