The result was delete. The strongest argument (IMHO) is from Fenix down. Applying a uniform standard across all similar articles is a good thing. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:21, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Not notable list of goals. These lists can be notable, for example if footballer is the top scorer of their country (in List of top international association football goal scorers by country), but there is no evidence why this footballer deserves a list. This per previous AfD for similar articles like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by Gonzalo Higuaín and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by João Vieira Pinto and others.

- Delete - Per previous precedent, not all footballers with international goals are deserving of stand-alone lists. This is one of those cases where it's just not notable enough. If Hernández scores 4 more goals and draws even with Jared Borgetti, then the list of goals would become notable as his country's top scorer, but WP:CRYSTAL. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 22:12, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep - per what Jkudlick has said, he might very soon become the top scorer, and even if that is a bit WP:CRYSTAL, deleting and then very soon restoring the article seems wasteful. InsertCleverPhraseHere 01:50, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Merge - I'm fine with the article being deleted but the content is usefull and should be merged to the main article. Aricle can be re-created if Chicharoto becomes Mexico's all time goalscorer. Inter&anthro (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Inter&anthro: Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 95#International goals they should not be listed in main article. Qed237 (talk) 20:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- There were also other discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 96#International goals and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 96##International goals should be kept that didn't establish a consensus. Per WP:EDITCONSENSUS. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Not as confident voting, but I'm leaning on delete as well. There isn't that much material in the article that can't be quickly replicated in the future. He'll most likely break the former record by achieving 47, but 5 might take a year or might not happen at all. I think it's WP:TOOSOON. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 02:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - Recent AfD results have developed the consensus that these lists are only notable where the player concerned is or at one time was, their country's all time leading goalscorer. Fenix down (talk) 16:45, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
