Speedy Keep' Core information for one of the USA's major sports. Compare List of NHL records (individual), List of Major League Baseball record holders, NBA regular season records, List of NCAA football records. Cbl62 (talk) 07:23, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: For the record (and the reason why I put this for AfD, this page is ten times as long as the NHL and MLB pages, and 3-5 times as long as the NBA/NCAA pages. It doesn't need to be that massive. Primefac (talk) 11:22, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Response "too much information" is not a reason to delete. It may be a reason to edit.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:31, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just the quantity of information, it's the fact that the majority can be found on other lists of stats. Primefac (talk) 19:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a reason to delete a page either. If you want to edit the content and remove what you believe to be duplicate, go ahead (I suggest discussing it on the article's talk page first).--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:53, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As Cbl62 says, such a list of records is core information in the coverage of any notable sport, and not the sort of thing to which WP:NOTSTATSBOOK is addressed. Length would be a reason to create spinout articles, not to delete this. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:38, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons given. VMS Mosaic (talk) 13:55, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a notable list, passes multiple notability measures including WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:58, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
