List of multi-racial national football teams by player eligibility

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

Just an unsourced list of players with second nationalities that is unsourced. There are too many of these types of pages by this user User:Indigenousfootballdevelopment Spiderone (talk) 11:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:23, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, non-notable, indiscriminate, unsourced, unverifiable. --Angelo (talk) 12:44, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely unsourced, although it's worse than that. If there was ever an article that needed some context, this would be it.  Written in the form of notes, this is from the department of "you know what you're talking about, but the rest of us don't".  The meaning of statements like "Cyprus -Diaspora - Wales - Jason Koumas" would be open to all sorts of different guesses-- Does Jason Koumas play on the Cyprus national team?  Was there some type of diaspora of the Welsh people where a lot of them emigrated to Cyprus?  Or maybe his family left Cyprus and he grew up in Wales and he's moved back?  Even if this were sourced, which this isn't, do we really need to classify players with the labels born, foreign-born but raised here, mixed parentage, diaspora, naturalised, eligible for naturalisation?  "Born", in this case, means that "this person was born here, but doesn't look like us".  Not just original research, but original racial classification. Mandsford (talk) 13:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I second Mandsford's doubts as to the purpose of this article and its many problems. Drmies (talk) 14:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Aren't all european teams multiracial these days? This is perhaps the vaguest list I saw here. Delete per Mandsford, utter lack of context. NVO (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable list. Per above. John Sloan @ 23:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Overly cryptic list with irrelevant reference to "multi-racial"ness in the title. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. per nom. What Angelo said plus almost infinite (nearly all players can become eligible under the "eligible to be naturalised" clause, as they only have to meet some residency criteria and apply. Title is mis-representative (nationality and eligibility has nothing to do with race).-- Club Oranje T 11:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone above. Struway2 (talk) 11:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per the list itself. It begs for deletion. Punkmorten (talk) 17:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
