Keep - per This recent AfD for several lists. Lists of international goals where the individual in question is their nations all-time top scorer are notable. Fenix down (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG, non-notable topic. Giant Snowman 18:49, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Fenix. As the top scorer for his country, easily meets WP:GNG. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:05, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Fenix and Lugnuts , is the top scorer for his country where Football is the most popular sport.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:46, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge data should be either kept in independent article or merged with parent article. Either way the material should not be discarded. Inter&anthro (talk) 05:02, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete and merge. No reason to have this list as its own article. Move the (yes notable) table of goals to the main page Henrikh Mkhitaryan! (Not even a link back to the main page at present.) (If this was not listed here I might have just bolded the page straight into the main page section it is linked from! Aoziwe (talk) 12:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Each goal itself is not notable. No one would ever write an article about a goal? The goals make the person who scored them notable, so put the goals with the thing they are making notable. Ditto all of these lists. Aoziwe (talk) 13:18, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: His country's top scorer of all time. Although WP:CRYSTAL may come against this, his age and ability compared to his compatriots mean that this record will be expanded and remain relevant in the future '''tAD''' (talk) 15:33, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Don't really see the added value in keeping this in a separate article. The comparison to Zlatan Ibrahimovic falls a bit short, considering the vast difference in notability. -- Hybris1984 (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
