This article violates WP:NOT. It is just a list of names. This article does not contribute anything meaningful beyond what is already contained in the already-existing, and much more complete, List of National Football League passing touchdowns leaders. 20 08 Ol ymp ian chitchat 03:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge into List of National Football League passing touchdowns leaders. The topic is notable, but there is no need for multiple articles covering the same things. Resolute 00:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The first line of the MOS pertaining to trivia is: "Avoid creating lists of miscellaneous facts.". And that about does it for me. Trusilver  00:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete — such a list is unverifiable outside of Wikipedia. This is not the place to establish the verifiability of such a list. MuZemike  ( talk ) 06:33, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Um I'm pretty sure a few thousand sources other than Wikipedia have listed the number of career TDs that quarterbacks have... --Rividian (talk) 16:33, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial... 100 is an arbitrary number. If List of National Football League passing touchdowns leaders doesn't contain enough information right now it can always be expanded. --Rividian (talk) 16:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested by Resolute, and implied by Rividian. But if there were not such an obvious place for an adequate merge, I would have said to keep the article. Facts targeted to one particular major part of notable careers are not "miscellaneous". DGG (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Why 100 and not 105, or 115? This is just a list of stats and doesn't belong on an encyclopedia. If someone needs this, they can go somewhere else (like that single reference). Tavix (talk) 22:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge I agree that List of National Football League passing touchdowns leaders is a more useful and less arbitrary list. 100 is a nice number... but honestly, so what?  If 100 is a breakpoint, put them on the first list--no need for two.  Yeah, that sounds like a "merge" ... I'm okay either way.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
