This is a regional tournament that involves representatives of several countries in Southeast Asia, as well as Australia, who have gone through their own selection processes of varying rigour. In any case, they are "national teams" for the duration of this tournament. I believe that qualifies them for notability. Furthermore, four of these teams will eventually be competing on the Asian level in the AFC Futsal championships. While none of the players is notable at this time, I don't think we should wait till they are famous before making this list of information public. Is there anyone else out there who has a view on this article? Icedwater (talk) 06:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Referencing WP:GNG, emphasis mine: Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below.)

Delete While there is a precedent for including lists of squads at the confederation and FIFA levels of championships (e.g. 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship squads and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup squads), I can find no such precedent at the regional or sub-confederation level. I must invoke WP:OTHERSTUFF and question at what level do these types of lists become cruft. If this were the AFC Futsal Championships, I would have no problem !voting to keep, but despite the fact that these were the national futsal teams, I believe that a stand-alone list of squads in a tournament below the confederation level hits point #1 of WP:LISTCRUFT - this is a list just to have a list. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 14:44, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
