I rather would avoid an edit war and find a resolution through reason.
Citing the guidelines: "In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.
Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability."
Justin's ethnicity is important to fully understand him as a subject. If he never actually competed for the Iraqi National Team, he would still be notable for being a American soccer player. In fact, he was born and maintains a permanent residency in the United States. These merits alone qualify him as a notable American. The fact he competed for Iraqi National team after these events occurred also makes it relevant that he is an Iraqi American. Otherwise a born american competing for the Iraqi national team would make no sense and be confusing for future readers. It important to understand the subjects ethnicity since it qualifies his football career and the ability to compete for the Iraqi National Team. It also maintains the context and understanding that he is in fact an American and achieved what he achieved as an American citizen. Synthfreq ( talk) 01:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
I still hold he's Iraqi per all of the statements here. We do not hyphenate nationalities. This apparently happened during a bout of edits debating the subject's religious heritages in July 2020 and I'm sorry I missed correcting it then. However, we do not simply remove nationality to placate one nation or another, we follow the guidelines from WP:FOOTY. Since he has played for Iraq, he should be listed as Iraqi.
