None of these players were the top goalscorers of their country at any point in their careers. Per this, this, this, this, and this, we don't keep these types of articles unless they are or were the top goalscorer for their country. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 21:09, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - I do believe that it would be better to do separate discussions for each case as they all have different merits and faults. It could be hard to find consensus. Spiderone 21:27, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Spiderone, good idea. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 21:34, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect back to parent article per recent AFD consensus (see e.g. this and this. GiantSnowman 22:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Merge wiht parent article seems like the best solution. Fredpernambucano 01:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

- Merge per all of the above Spiderone 10:49, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Merge back to parent article per above comments. I believe the consensus is for a merge or redirect for all similar articles. // Timothy :: talk 20:20, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete outright, do not merge. The parent article already contains a brief summary of this information, and that is (more than) enough. This list is WP:INDISCRIMINATE and should never have been created in the first place; the list of goals belongs not in an encyclopaedia, but on a fansite or similar. This applies to all these lists, including featured ones such as List of international goals scored by Abby Wambach and List of international goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. We also should not have List of 100 meter dashes by Usain Bolt or List of pole vaults by Sergey Bubka. Editors need to learn to summarize this information instead of exhaustively enumerating each example. To put it another way, we should strive to write Climate of London, not List of rainy days in London. TompaDompa (talk) 01:42, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
