List of Iranian footballers

 * — (View AfD)

Fails WP:LIST, as it is neither informative nor useful for navigation compared to Category:Iranian footballers which we already have. No redlinks, so not useful for development purposes either. Punkmorten 14:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. – Elisson • T • C • 16:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and previous nominations of this kind (Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia). – Elisson • T • C • 16:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is a useful navigation aide to finding articles. It compliments the use of categories. I don't see the utility of purging Wikipedia of navigational lists in favor of categories, there is room for both. Categories aren't superior to lists. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 18:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fully redundant to category. Eluchil404 09:47, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unlike List of Sweden international footballers (a featured list) this list provides no criteria for inclusion, and is therefore redundant to the category. Oldelpaso 14:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
