Contested prod. Original concern was "per WP:IINFO. Other than being limited to a single club, this article seems to have no strict inclusion criteria." The prod was removed with no explanation by anonymous editor. Furthermore, the author's use of English is quite poor (as shown by the title of the article alone), and he/she doesn't seem to care for any particular manual of style. – PeeJay 20:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - poor English can be fixed, as can style considerations. However, this is a blatant bunch of statistics of dubious notability. The club is notable, but the overwhelming majority of players included in the stats aren't, as evidenced by the non-linking of names (if you did link them, they would no doubt come up red, with no prospect of a justified article for each). The "bare bones 1 to 10" are already included in the main article. This is an ill-considered offshoot. Ref (chew)(do) 20:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Ref's comment above. ARTYOM 21:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The club is certainly notable, and anyone who has played for it is also notable per WP:BIO for athletes. There is no reason to arbitrarily limit the amount of information in an article for a notable subject, and, as the club article is already long, this is a perfectly valid summary style sub-article.

- If the article could be converted into a comprehensive list of every player who has ever played for the club, then I would have no objection to its being kept. However, this is a list of every player who has ever scored a goal for the club (not including own goals, I might note). No other club has a similar article, as far as I am aware, and nor should they. – PeeJay 21:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I'm the creator of this topic and my objective was to maintain these information alive and updated every single match of the club, I know my English is not good, but that can be fixed by other users, anyway I hope the topic survives, thanks Phil Bridger for your support71.57.137.130 (talk) 02:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for superfluous information and there is no need to list every single goalscorer. It would be better to simply list the all-time top scorers either on the club's main article (as you have already done) or as part of a specific 'Records and Statistics' page (such as Manchester United F.C. records and statistics).

- Delete, overly broad and database-y. Punkmorten (talk) 21:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to the main article, there is no real need to list every player who scored goals. The top scorers of all time is already in the main article in which I suggest to redirect. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and this article amounts to listcruft.--JForget 23:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
