List of Muslim footballers

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Largely unsourced BLP assertions, no apparent evidence of importance of faith as an issue in life of many of those listed rather than family tradition, no apparent ordering of theose included, very recentist, no qualification as to "notable", so presumably anyone who meets WP:ATH could be on it; destined to be perpetually and chronically incomplete, equivalent articles of lists of footballers by religion will presumably never be written, danger of becoming a pride list.

 * Delete per nom. Given that football is played by practically every country on earth, there's no reason why there wouldn't be lots of Muslim players, and there's no connection between the player's faith and the game.  So this is truly an unencyclopedic cross-categorization, contra WP:NOTDIR.  postdlf (talk) 14:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
