List of soccer players with 100 or more international goals

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:NOTSTATS. The list List of footballers with 50 or more international goals is better and makes this one redundant. I also am unsure about it as I thought that Ali Daei was the only player that had reached 100 international goals. Spiderone 09:32, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Why don't WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:NOTSTATS apply to List of footballers with 50 or more international goals? Siuenti (talk) 13:01, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it is not even a 'list' for a start. The only player that should be in there is Ali Daei. Nobody else has scored 100 international goals. Spiderone  16:41, 19 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - list appears to use a strange conflation of goals scored for a player's country with those scored for his club in continental competition, a combination which is literally never used as a stat in football. "International goals" is only ever used to refer to the former, and as mentioned only one player has scored 100 such goals, so there is no need for this list -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:57, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - pure OR, article creator has merged together two things that are never linked in reliable sources. Not needed. GiantSnowman 16:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm tempted just to redirect this to List of women's association football players with 100 or more international goals and mention Ali Daei somewhere. Though I wouldn't be against deleting it as WP:OR, since adding club goals to international goals does not make more international goals. Fuebaey (talk) 06:59, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Random cruft, the idea of conflating genuine international goals and continental club goals is an OR synth. Fenix down (talk) 09:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - misleading title - only one person on the list deserves to be there. Hack (talk) 08:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:SNYTH - Goals scored while playing for a club, even if it is an international competition such as CONCACAF Champions League, do not meet the accepted definition of "international goals." As only one individual would otherwise meet the criteria for this list, this then falls squarely into WP:LISTCRUFT. — Jkudlick t c s 00:52, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
