Fails

WP:NOTSTATSBOOK and is an unnecessary content fork. It is not common practice to have pages that are just stat listing for individual players, and since some of this is more advanced stats, like a performance breakdown per opponent, I think a merge to Babar Azam would give the stats undue content weight. An external link to the relevant stats page, like how we link to Baseball-Reference to baseball players' stats, would suffice in this situation. Hog Farm (talk) 02:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete - this is horrendous. It fails just about every criteria for what wikipedia is about, has no realistic notability and is either a direct copy from stats websites or original research based on those statistics. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTMIRROR. I thought this had already been removed, but maybe that was just from the parent article and the editor is trying a different route. Spike 'em (talk) 07:53, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

May need to add Draft:Babar Azam Statistics which is the same content. As above, I removed this content from Babar Azam last month. Spike 'em (talk) 08:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Spike 'em: I have listed the essentially identical draft at MfD. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Babar Azam Statistics. Hog Farm (talk) 21:27, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per
WP:NOTSTATS and that red font and green background is horrific to the eyes! StickyWicket (talk) 18:52, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete as per nominator and
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The draft can be deleted along with this article. There is no established method of bundling an MFD with an AFD, but common sense is to quasi-bundle them. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:04, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

@Robert McClenon: I've never done a quasi-bundle before. How would I go about doing that? Hog Farm (talk) 22:20, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Hog Farm - Of course not. That's because I invented the term just now. Just discuss the article, and this AFD and the MFD link back to each other, and let the closer deal with the MFD in the same way as the AFD. If we agree that this article can be sent to the bit bucket, then the draft can go in with it. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:47, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into the main page for Babar Azam. It can be edited from there. PenulisHantu (talk) 04:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article was only created after the information was added to the main article twice and removed each time (by me). Unless there is clear consensus to include them at
WP:CRIC I'd do the same if they were added again. Spike 'em (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

WP:CRIC because, frankly, local consensus can exist, and does exist, on many, many articles that favour the inclusion of sports statistics. Doug Mehus T·C 22:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

@
WP:OR or just copied straight off of some other website, both of which would likely be innapropriate for the only content in an article. I personally have no opinion on having some of these stats in the Babar Azam article, but I feel like having a page solely for publishing these stats is not policy-based. Hog Farm (talk) 23:30, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

WP:OR if these statistics were reliably sourced, but in terms of whether it's appropriate, what I'm talking about is for junior or even NHL hockey teams and the like whereby, as part of a section of the hockey team's article, we include a table of the team's performance by year. It's not giving undue weight to the statistics. Nevertheless, it sounds like we're more or less on the same page here. Doug Mehus T·C 23:46, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply
