Generally, we do not categorize people by their nation of origin. In addition, WP:LIST says that lists should include only people for whom it is a defining feature. None of these people are notable for being from outside of Vietnam, they are notable for being football players. In addition it is typical to make lists on the basis of what people are, rather than what they are not. If this was a category I'd say it was overcategorization, and that same argument applies to the list. HominidMachinae (talk) 02:41, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nominator. There's nothing inherently special about a football player being born outside Vietnam but currently living in Vietnam. JIP | Talk 06:47, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
