Purely an indiscriminate list of statistics that is a WP:NOTSTATS violation. Let'srun (talk) 00:54, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Keep but prune (e.g. game winners aren't particularly noteworthy). Bird is one of the all-time greats of basketball, with many notable achievements. (No offense to the others whose lists have been deleted, but Bird is in a different league.)Clarityfiend (talk) 11:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)- Delete. Bird is a Hall of Famer, but these achievements are a bit of a stretch (e.g. 49 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists and one blocked shot in a game). Not a lot there that warrants a standalone list.

- Comment - just FYI to everyone. List of career achievements by Jack Nicklaus was kept after AfD discussion a couple weeks ago. The result was a unanimous keep. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 05:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not generally a convincing argument. Let'srun (talk) 11:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. But I will continue mentioning it every time since WP:OSE (Howard, Anthony, Paul, Wade) is being shared above on the deletion side of things. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 17:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- WP:TOOBIG was the major reason cited there, which doesn't apply to Larry Bird.—Bagumba (talk) 11:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Unneeded WP:CONTENTFORK packed with WP:UNDUE, indiscriminate mentions of trivial statistical cross sections. Major, defining achievements should be captured in the main bio. Also fails WP:NOTSTATS:
Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing
The page is a pure stats dump.—Bagumba (talk) 03:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC) - Delete Per nom, don't need such lists especially said achievements can be placed in the player's own main page in an accolades, or legacy area. Will also copy paste this to the other aforementioned lists. Noorullah (talk) 05:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
