Typical WP:Listcruft and WP:OR. The list never able to complete as it requires active removal of "non-active" footballer. Also , the inclusion criteria "40 goals or more " is an original research. Also may be WP:NOSTATS. Matthew hk (talk) 12:37, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BTW the list fundamentally different from List of footballers with 100 or more Premier League goals, which 100 club was defined by media. Matthew hk (talk) 12:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BTW 2. The correct title should located in List of active Premier League goalscorers. Matthew hk (talk) 14:51, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – It's an encloypedia for articles of long-term value, not a topical stats source. Jellyman (talk) 12:49, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – per NOTSTATS: Unencyclopedic and subject to constant changes making it a 'topical' or 'news' entry; which, as noted above, is not what Wikipedia is typically about. Eagleash (talk)
Delete - WP:NOTSTATS / WP:LISTCRUFT, the related and well-defined list above is far better. Spike 'em (talk) 13:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't know why you want to delete it. It is distinguish list, there is no list like this one since all the other lists include the players of all time. If you like List of footballers with 100 or more Premier League goals, I can do similar to this one but expanding it.

Well, there is many guidelines for new user to read. Start from WP:GNG, WP:NOSTATS, WP:OR, WP:V may be? Matthew hk (talk) 14:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. – Pee Jay 01:23, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all deletes above, and WP:N notability is not temporary - a list of active Premier League Goalscorers is continually out dated, hence it is temporary. To keep would mean accepting lists from all years and periods of not only the premier league, but all professional leagues ever. Highest goalscorers over all time, or golden boot winners are notable, but this belongs on a fan cruft page or someone's personal webpage.ClubOranje^T 08:44, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as LISTCRUFT. Giant Snowman 09:15, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As this is original research and will always be out of dated each week. That and also the fact that this page doesn't look like it's a professional article also is a big no no. Not Homura (talk) 02:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
