Contested PROD. Violates copyright, listcruft, OR...need I go on? GiantSnowman 17:17, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep . Parent article is IFFHS World's Top Goal Scorer of the Year, which has, in turn, parent article International Federation of Football History & Statistics. There is clearly no original research here, because the list was published elsewhere. There is no copyright issue because the list is simply a collation of data in the public domain and is uncopyrightable. The only question is whether it is listcruft. As this is article is simply additional detail for the notable parent, I see no case for deletion in this respect either. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:09, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - how on earth is a list of people who have scored goals, as collated by one organisation, notable in any way whatsoever? GiantSnowman 18:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As the parent article has disappeared, it would be an anomoly if this remained, so I have struck my !vote. I still don't much agree with the nomination - it's clearly ridculous to claim something is both original research and a copyright violation, for starters - but that's pretty much moot now.

 * Delete. All of the above. Zero notability. Argyle 4 Life  talk  20:31, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Articles for deletion/IFFHS World's Top Goal Scorer of the Year. If the award by itself is not notable, then one particular iteration of it certainly isn't either. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
