This article was nominated for deletion before under the name of abroad iraqi players and the final answer was keep. Mussav (talk) 03:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Mussav, I think you are referring to this prod[1], aren't you? It's all I can find in the history. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete And categorized. Matthew_hk tc 20:49, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

• Keep This article already nominated before and the final answer was keep. This article for the current Iraqi football players abroad, while the category include all times. Mussav (talk) 01:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Mussav: I think your comment may be misleading. There is only a prod in the history as far as I can see[2], which was removed by you. There has been no deletion discussion as is happening now. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I really don't understand I searched everywhere and i can't find it. I swear I remember there was a nomination for delation and the final answer was keep. Mussav (talk) 02:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps under a different title? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and consensus. GiantSnowman 01:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete per past consensus -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:54, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep The category doesn't provide similar information. It just gives the names. This list also shares the country and team they play for. (see WP:CLN) - Mgm|^(talk) 09:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete and Categorize Pure and utter trivial listcruft. If we have this, we will have a Heligoland players list. --Numyht (talk) 11:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Strong keep. We've been down this before. What a waste of time discussing it again. Of course it's highly relevant.Tris2000 (talk) 14:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
  • • Uhh where? Secret ^account 14:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Basque football players, which was closed as a delete. Bettia ^{it's a puppet!} 15:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - organised, discriminate; I see no reason to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete unless narrowed - a list of any Iraqi football player abroad is in fact indiscriminate. At least one of the players (the guy in Norway), probably more, is far from notable. Punkmorten (talk) 19:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia isn't a sports alamac, agree with Punkmorten as well as the list is indiscriminate. Secret ^account 14:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. To me, this just seems like a list made for the sake of having a list (item 1 on WP:LISTCRUFT), and could require a lot of effort to keep up to date - it certainly would if this was a list of players from a country which regularly exports players. Best to nip this "List of players from Country X playing abroad" business in the bud. Bettia ^{it's a puppet!} 15:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't know if this type of information benefits Wikipedia in any way, as the players should have a place of birth on their page, and also - judging by what I have seen - has no sort of notability criteria (it includes some youth, academy and reserve players, even though there may be many more out there) referenced to one website that looks like it contains small amounts of information and is in another language so it may be harder to maintain on the English Wikipedia.
