An intersection for which there is no evidence of any notability. There is nothing to suggest that there is anything particularly special, distinctive or different about footballers from this Iranian province than any other. There isn't generally that much coverage on these types of topics which is why we don't see topics like List of footballers from Yorkshire or List of footballers from Hertfordshire and so on. This also has incredibly broad criteria. To qualify for the list you can either be born or raised in Khorasan, lived there for any amount of time or have at least one ancestor from there!

As per 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 - I see no evidence of that for this topic.
WP:LISTPURP - this list is not informative, it does not aid in navigation nor is it useful for development purposes.
WP:ATD - there is no obvious merge or redirect target. I'm also strongly against merging anything that's basically WP:OR.
WP:RS - the sources used do not look reliable and I'm not convinced that any RS exist for this topic. Spiderone 18:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I see no value in a list of "Footballers born in Khorasan Province (unless they weren't) and who played for the national team (unless they didn't)" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
