List of Asian footballers in Europe

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Consensus is that lists of footballers from nation X playing in nation Y are not-notable - see this AfD for a recent example. The relevant categories contained within should suffice. GiantSnowman 21:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons:

 * Looks like the country-specific lists are currently up-to-date, which I believe is the main threat to such lists, but delete the ones who are not maintained or who doesn't add more value than a category. I would therefore use this opportunity to nominate List of European football players who play outside Europe as well, just because the lack of updates (and value)! And we should maybe look into all the articles in Category:Lists of footballers by country and its subcategory... lil2mas (talk) 23:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would argue that NONE of the articles are properly maintained and/or referenced, or add any more value than a category other than what team they currently play for. GiantSnowman 23:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - does not suffice, as European leagues are of particular importance for development of Asian national football programs, as it offers the highest level of competition. The break-down of the list offers quantitative and chronological information to what national leagues players were competing in, and there for an interperspective to the level of football players produced by a nation for a particular generation.TakTak (talk) 04:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete all and expand . Outside of the question of maintainance, these lists all fail the notability criteria of wikipedia. Themfromspace (talk) 06:00, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, can't see the particular benefit in having lists for this. Punkmorten (talk) 09:14, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all, although rarely useful, I tend to agree with the delete debate. Govvy (talk) 17:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all as they are duplicated by a perfectly good category. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  23:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
