If you check each player, you will see that they were born in Bosnia and Herzegovina; of course this makes them eligible to play for the national team. Jaganjac (talk) 23:40, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is so weak for something as important as what you are claiming, look at this one Velimir_Radman you have to go to his page and there you find a claim that he was born somewhere, and there is a link to [[1]] it is all so weak and unsupported and most of them are the same.

The list also says at the top that it includes foreign born bosnians? This guy that you constantly were inserting Marko_Arnautović has a serbian father an austrian mother and was born in vienna, and has chosen to play for the austrian team, it is highly likely that he has only an austrian passport. To brand him as Bosnian is a step too far. To say that someone is Bosnian, without a citation is wrong. This list is totally uncited and you seem to have no desire to add any citations either.

Delete - unreferenced & not encyclopedic; not needed on Wikipedia as it is a pure case of WP:LISTCRUFT. Giant Snowman 13:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Doesn't benefit Wikipedia and is WP:LISTCRUFT. It has already led to many edit wars. Spiderone 15:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - the article could be more tightly (re)defined as footballers born in the present day Bosnia / Herzegovina who represent another national team (eg Mario Stanić). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 16:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are there or have there ever been any similar articles to this? What would stop there being a Serbian and a Croatian and then a Macedonian version of this? Where do we draw the line? Spiderone 17:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
