WP:NOTSTATS. Taken to its logical complete state would contain and entry for every team from every season since 1920. => Spudgfsh (Text Me!) 21:44, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply

I can understand the objections that have been raised at
WP:PRESERVE and isn’t helpful to anyone. The suggestion to merge this list into the corresponding season articles is something that can be discussed, although it doesn’t facilitate year-to-year comparison as well as this list does, and I don’t see any policy reason why a multiyear list isn't appropriate. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:37, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep "I don't like it" because I think an encyclopedia should be about text articles, not data spreadsheets. I really wanted to vote delete but I can't find a reason WP should not have this article. "Not stats" is about long lists of statistics within a normal text article. When the whole point of the article is to give the statistics then "not stats" does not seem to apply. The data is notable and would be of interest and useful to people who want to know about the topic. Otherwise they would probably have to go to each team's site and put the information together themselves. BayShrimp (talk) 16:59, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It's a little bit almanacky, but this is the sort of thing that our readers will expect in a comprehensive encyclopedia. Certainly a topic of ample media coverage. Carrite (talk) 17:04, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly don't think most people would expect a list of NFL attendance figures in an encyclopedia. BayShrimp (talk) 17:52, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
