List of international goals scored by Gareth Bale[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a list of goals which possibly violates WP:NOTSTATS. Since lists of international goals within player biographies have been "frowned upon" (or summarily removed) after a brief discussion here, this seems to be "cheating" the implemented "consensus". It is certainly worth checking out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney before you vote. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I !voted to 'keep' the Wayne Rooney article because his goalscoring exploits have received significant coverage - however the same cannot be said for Gareth Bale, nor many of the other players who seem to have their own sub-articles for some reasons. Like the nominator states, this is WP:NOTSTATS. I suggest merging back into the parent article. Giant Snowman 07:58, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - surely such a short list can simply be included in Gareth Bale. Nfitz (talk) 22:47, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He hasn't scored enough goals for such a list to be notable, but I don't think it's worth integrating the list into the parent article. Either it's worth having a listicle or it's not worth listing at all, IMO. – Pee Jay 23:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Whilst I think this sort of list is appropriate for players with a larger number of goals, a list this short would be better placed in the player's article, as is the convention. Macosal (talk) 09:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - and collapse in the parent article. Unlike the Rooney article, this is not lengthy enough to warrant a fork. Fenix down (talk) 15:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
