Wikipedia is a WP:WIAE. This article is just not WP:NOTE. Rævhuld (talk) 19:35, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Really? While the list is featured on the Main Page? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:06, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Speed keep (as creator) per previous discussion, this FL is notable in that Donovan still holds the all-time topscorer record for the United States, a major country in the world of international soccer, and there are multiple reliable sources that refer to his record and this list. Once Clint Dempsey achieves the record, the list will still be notable, as it was a long-running record, and both records have been covered by reliable sources (Washington Post; NY Times; Sports Illustrated).

 * But you have omitted Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by Sergio Agüero (2nd nomination), which did delete it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The difference is that Aguero has never been the all-time top scorer for his country. Longstanding consensus is that these lists are valid where a player has held such a record..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk)

 * Keep for obvious reasons. Notability clearly established above and I suggest closure per WP:SNOW. YE Pacific Hurricane  20:20, 16 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Snow Keep The fact that the list made it through FLC and onto the front page means that the list has already proven its notability before.&mdash; CycloneIsaac ( Talk ) 20:22, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Snow keep Per longstanding consensus at WP:FOOTY. S.A. Julio (talk) 20:40, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep since linked from the main page. This is point 6 at WP:SKCRIT. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:58, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It is long established that lists of this nature are deemed notable, and unlikely to have made it through FLC if not a notable topic. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:05, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep - these types of list have been established as notable when the player has held the record for their respective country. Not to mention that it is a FL and made it through that process with no issues. Kosack (talk) 21:26, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep it is important with such lists, the lede makes the argument for the notability and justification for the list. Seems very clear that this is done. Koncorde (talk) 21:46, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep notability established through various references and Wikipedia processes. Hmlarson (talk) 22:00, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. HandsomeFella (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy/Snow Keep I support deleting this article on the merits, but not while it's on the front page. An admin should close this now. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:03, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
