Reason 14: "Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia". This article reads like a dictionary entry and does not contain relevant encyclopedic content. "Wikipedia articles are not: (1.) Definitions. Articles should begin with a good definition or description, but articles that contain nothing more than a definition should be expanded with additional encyclopedic content. If they cannot be expanded beyond a definition, Wikipedia is not the place for them. In some cases, the definition of a word may be an encyclopedic subject, such as the definition of planet. For a wiki that is a dictionary, visit our sister project Wiktionary. Dictionary definitions should be transwikied there. (2.) Dictionary entries. Encyclopedia articles are about a person, or a group, a concept, a place, a thing, an event, etc. In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic subject, such as Macedonia (terminology) or truthiness. However, articles rarely, if ever, contain more than one distinct definition or usage of the article's title. Articles about the cultural or mathematical significance of individual numbers are also acceptable." The authors of this page may consider integrating some of it into Wiktionary.

 * Just redirect it to the disambiguation page.Trillfendi (talk) 06:58, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there's enough in the article to get it past WP:GNG and have it not fail WP:DICDEF, particularly the detailed comments on its etymology and the list of how it's used in different contexts. SportingFlyer  talk  21:28, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Per I would say redirect it to the disambiguation page.  However, there's no need to have the disambiguation in parentheses so I would suggest using pageswap and then redirecting International (disambiguation) to International, because the content of (what will become) International (disambiguation) is merely a dictionary definition, something Wikipedia isn't.

 * Delete this is a bad dictdef/DAB hybrid, the existing DAB page International (disambiguation) should be moved here. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:37, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, and move the disambiguation page to this location. NoCOBOL (talk) 13:05, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. There is definitely a notable concept of something being "international". This may, however, benefit from being moved to a noun title such as Internationality. If it is moved, we can have a separate discussion about whether to keep "International" as a redirect to that title, or move the dab. bd2412  T 00:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and move the dab page over. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also, only the sports example is synonymous with the word in the "Meaning in particular fields" section. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure even that's true. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:04, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and move the disambiguation page over. Use Template:Wiktionary on International disambiguation page. —Ntmamgtw (talk) 22:39, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep although the form of this article could be changed to make it seem less dictionary-like.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Could be merged with a more detailed dab page; I see no unifying concept for the examples in the article besides the common use of a dictionary word in various contexts. Reywas92Talk 03:34, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
