• Delete - Lists of this type are unnecessary, as the topic of anyone playing any sport for any nation other than the nation of their birth is not notable. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 18:15, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to nominate the article above because it has the same issues as List of French born footballers who have played for other national teams. KAP03 (talk) 22:38, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Yugoslavia list - for the same reasons; in addition, there are players on the list that wouldn't have even had the option to play for Yugoslavia anyway as the country had ceased to exist by the time they started their careers. Pointless list. Spiderone 09:19, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - I'm going to politely ask @GiantSnowman: and @Jkudlick: for their opinions on the Yugoslavia list also. Spiderone 10:35, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Yugoslavia list should also be deleted, but it needs to be a separate nomination. GiantSnowman 10:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that it should also be deleted, but it requires a separate nomination. Bundling after the fact is kind of like changing the rules in the middle of the game. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 11:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
