This article was previously tagged for merging but a relevant discussion was never opened. Nothing seems to indicate the notability of its subject, as previously noted on the talk page. The article is also built primarily from a primary source from Michigan State. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 12:42, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge partially to Michigan State Spartans men's ice hockey#Statistical leaders. Maybe just the top 5 in each category/breakdown. Sources aren't there for notability of these statistical leaders, and probably won't find much outside of school mentioning them together. WikiVirusC^(talk) 12:58, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiVirusC: I'd be happy to perform the merge if we can find a reliable source for this information. Like I said, until today there were merge tags on the pages advocating for this change, but the inability to verify anything is what made me bring this to AfD. If no other source mentions this subject, we shouldn't be including this in the article at all per WP:WEIGHT. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's already in the main article though at the section I linked, although not the entirety of it. Primary source are used as the source, which is typically fine aboutself references, but not for notability in a standalone. If you think that section should be removed completely from there, then that is different discussion. WikiVirusC^(talk) 16:28, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the properly source information into the parent article on the team. This fails WP:NLIST with only databases as sources. Flibirigit (talk) 15:20, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as noted. I'll also mention there are other similar "University ice hockey team statistical leaders" pages that could be included in this AfD as well, as they all likely will fall under the same rationale. Kaiser matias (talk) 02:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiser matias: You're absolutely right. I just took a look at the other pages created by Kkuchnir, the creator of this article. Turns out they've made nearly 300 of these "statistical leaders" articles since 2020. From the few that I've glanced at so far, it seems that they all have the same issues as this one. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:25, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
