A previous deletion discussion in March 2008 resulted in a decision of Delete/Categorise; ‎ was then created, before being deleted in July 2008 with the result Delete/Listify (see discussion here), and the article was restored. Logically, these two disussions show that any information about "Croatian-Australian Socceroos"‎ should not be on Wikipedia in either article or category form, and so I propose that this article should be deleted.

 * Delete, a trivial intersection, unless someone can provide sources to justify the significance of Croat Australian players, as opposed to any other ethnic group (including English, Scots and Irish). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 04:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: First of all I fully admit this suggestion, if only obliquely, is an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument; however I would dare to suggest that this may be a solution to the ongoing ((cat}} and article deletion issues. There exists an article VFL/AFL players with international backgrounds. It has a section about VFL/AFL players whose heritage is from that former that former Yugoslavian federal republic.  A simple solution would appear to me to be an article Socceroos with international backgrounds, which would include a section Socceroos with international backgrounds.  Yes, I am eliding issues about "Socceroos" v Australia national football (soccer) team and whether the cited article should be a list, that its tone isn't encyclopaedic, and that it's crufty.  Not relevant here. --Shirt58 (talk) 10:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Everybody has to come from somewhere. This kind of jingoistic classification does nothing to foster a multicultural nation, and is little more than listcruft. Should be WP:G4. WWGB (talk) 11:31, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per original AfD, insignificant list adds nothing. At best a category, and even then doubtful as trivial intersection-- Club Oranje T 09:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete unnecessary list and trivial intersection. --Angelo (talk) 10:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete complete list is already in Croatian Australian using the standard character set, with the bonus that there are many more articles linked from that list. Gnangarra 13:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
