WP:GNG - If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone list
WP:LISTN - One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.

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. —

Delete - no evidence of notability.

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.

Comment - I'm going to politely ask @
GiantSnowman: and @
Jkudlick: for their opinions on the Yugoslavia list also.

The Yugoslavia list should also be deleted, but it needs to be a separate nomination.

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. —
