List of international goals scored by Zinedine Zidane

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unnecessary content fork. If I remember correctly, lists of international goals were only made for top scorers of national teams. Zidane has never been the top scorer in the history of the France national team. Also, there isn't that much prose on this article that would warrant keeping it as a standalone article. There is just a small overview paragraph, the goals chart, and a statistic section already in the Zinedine Zidane main article. Note: this article was nominated for deletion in 2016 as part of a bigger deletion, but was kept on rather controversial grounds IMO. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:38, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: note that the list for the list for the Brazilian Ronaldo was merged back in December 2020 on the grounds that he is/was not Brazil's top scorer, just like several other examples. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:41, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge back into main article. He's not the country's top scorer, and so doesn't need a separate article. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge Not the top scorer of his country, per above. ArsenalGhanaPartey (talk) 14:17, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge - never been anywhere near being his country's top scorer, so precedent is not to have a separate article -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:08, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Zinedine Zidane main article is already 179kB way over the 100kB., , , . Do you guys not care for WP:AS guideline? Govvy (talk) 12:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't warrant a separate article, so should be selectively merged back i.e. without all the detail. The fact the existing article is bloated is not a reason to create this separate list against WP:FOOTY standards for stand-alone lists. Unbloat the main article some other way.
