Seriously? This is trivia, and has a place in Schott's Miscellany, or in the Big Bumper Book of Boys' Ballgame Bull, but has no place in Wikipedia. It is unreferenced, and a trivial intersection. It's amusing in a bizarre way, but not encyclopaedic. Fiddle Faddle 10:59, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No way this is encyclopaedic. —Vensatry _(Talk) 11:45, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back into Abdur Rahman#Sports, unless the list there is also deleted. The footballers and cricketers were split to separate pages but the cricketers were moved to (disambiguation) and added back to the main list; the footballers are only listed here.

Recategorise or Merge as above. This is useful as a disambiguation page, and needs to be considered as such. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 15:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this seems to be a disambiguation page. I'll add it to that discussion page. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is a given name or surname in the same way that Scott may be. It's not a statistical anomaly of two separate names that is disproportionally found in football. Not suitable, not encyclopaedic. Can be worked into the Abdur Rahman article. Rayman60 (talk) 23:58, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back to Abdur Rahman, no need for a "sub-diambiguation page" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and delete - no need. Giant Snowman 10:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Abdur Rahman, but remove names that don't really look like the claimed one. LjL (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The names concerned are all just transliterations of Arabic: عبد الرحمن and that's what they look like. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 11:00, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
