List of soccer players with 100 or more international goals

Hi Pablodalma, as far as I can tell, the precedent is to interpret international goals as goals for the player's country. In addition, we already have List of footballers with 50 or more international goals, so I see no need for your list at present. Thanks, 1Potato2Potato3Potato4 (talk) 20:28, 12 April 2015 (UTC) == ==

Thanks for the reply. I didnt know about the existence of that article. Of course in this matters, many times there isnt only one criteria. I'm using IFFHS criteria which is accepted by many newspapers, tv and such around the world, though I'm not saying it's the most widely accepted because I consider it's imposible to know that. IFFHS is one of the 2 main soccer statistics group, the other being RSSSF, and it was given support by FIFA for its activity. IFFHS gives an anual "award" that is listed later by newspapers, where they consider international goals as goals made in club and country. But there is no record of such record for all time, and I think it's relevant for 2 reasons, it gives light to achievements made by players such as Puskas or Gerd Muller, and it also gives light to achievements made by current players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Regarding the article, I think there are 2 options, either to clarify which criteria is being used for that article (ie IFFHS criteria) or restating the other article as players with most country goals made, which I assume it won't be an idea people will like inside Wikipedia since it's an older article. By the way, this criteria I'm using, it's already referenced in Wikipedia in Lionel Messi article (and I assume it's somewhere in Cristiano Ronaldo article too) since they broke the record of most international goals for one year according to IFFHS criteria

PS: I'm not familiar where I should continue talking with you, if you see this I appreciate your answer

I was just asking out of curiosity, the best place is probably the talk page of the 50 goal list, or if that is inactive, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football somewhere. Thanks, 1Potato2Potato3Potato4 (talk) 15:29, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Please can you quote the section that says Messi has 125 goals from his Wikipedia article? Thanks, 1Potato2Potato3Potato4 (talk) 15:37, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

It doesnt say that, what it says in records is, "Most international goals in a calendar year (2012): 25 (shared with Vivian Woodward and Cristiano Ronaldo)[394]" (this is a record accounted by IFFHS, see an example http://www.iffhs.de/the-worlds-best-top-goal-scorer-2013/) . IFFHS counts most international goals in a year, using the criteria that 1 international goal can be made in club or national team. The article I created is about counting them in the whole player's career using the definition of "international goal" IFFHS has popularized. What I meant is the definition of "international goal" made by IFFHS is already in use in Wikipedia

A barnstar for you!

Nomination of List of soccer players with 100 or more international goals for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of soccer players with 100 or more international goals is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

I just see this discussion now, when I cant say anything about it because the discussion is closed, and most of the concerns about it are missleading and addressed here, very strange.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of soccer players with 100 or more international goals until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Spiderone 09:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
