Asia Football squads

 * — (View AfD)

Created by a month ago. I'm not sure what the page was intended to be but currently it is a list of players on two national football teams. It provides no context whatsoever, it bares little relation to the article's title and it's redundant with the content of other pages. I'm not disputing that "Asia Football squads" might be a valuable encyclopedic topic but I'd rather have no article than an article that does not come remotely close to being on topic.

 * Delete - appears to duplicate Iran national football team and Iraq national football team. No need for a redirect from this title. -- Bpmullins | Talk 21:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - I call that "Asia Football squads" might not be a valuable encyclopedic topic. Punkmorten 22:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Squad lists of notable tournaments are encyclopedic, but this article is not one of those. Besides being POV (best teams in Asia), it is difficult to maintain due to the shifting nature of national squads from one friendly or qualifier to another. Neier 11:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
