2005 Arkansas Razorbacks football team

Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is just a list of season results of a college football team. Magioladitis (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is jock-oriented to the extreme, but this actually falls under WP:NOT#STATS ("articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader").  There's no context here, and the nominator is correct that this is nothing more than a recital of game results.  And it's an unnecessary and most unreadable table; nobody should have to scroll down to read eleven football scores.  If someone wants to rescue it, then "Soooooeeeeeee!!!".  I don't like the Hawgs, so it won't be I, but it wouldn't take much.  Mandsford (talk) 12:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If stats need explanatory text, then why are we talking deletion before asking the primary editor or a suitable WikiProject to provide such details. _ Mgm|(talk) 08:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Because it's Arkansas! But seriously, it's been up since December with no indication that it was intended to be more than this. Wikipedia sets a lower threshold for sports and entertainment articles, to be sure, but that's no excuse for a lack of content.  The article's creator has been notified of the nomination  and perhaps there's a Razorbacks fan who considers the '05 season worth an article.  I think that most of them would prefer to forget that 4-7-0 season. Mandsford (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete usually a season article of a major Division-1 team is ok, but nothing salvageable here, even for a merge (which I prefer). Fails WP:NOT. Secret account 13:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not an article. The University should use its own webspace to keep a record of its stats. The same goes for all other teams, TV shows, and other such lists of data. Steve Dufour (talk) 05:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete There really is no reason to have a separate article for every season of a team to me. If the season is very notable (i.e. broke records, etc.) then we should keep it, otherwise it's not very smart to make it into a separate article.
