2009-10 NBA matches

mainly because WP:NOT as Wikipedia is not a place for excessive statistics. I also question the notability of the article as it documents ordinary NBA games.— Chris! c / t 23:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not an article, nor useful since the same info can be found in many places -- including newspaper websites and the NBA's own website. Northwestgnome (talk) 01:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment From a notability standpoint, I don't think this level of detail is "excessive". Some statistics are OK. However, I'm not sure an article like this is a practical endeavor at this time. We already have the game logs, and it's hard enough to keep those updated. I wouldn't bother with an article like this unless we had three or four times the amount of people regularly working on NBA articles. Otherwise, it's just a drain on our resources.

 * Delete - I am in agreement with the nominator that this does represent a violation of not as a set of detailed statistics. -- Whpq (talk) 13:27, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete 30 teams, 82 games per team-- there are 1230 regular season games alone, not to mention the playoffs. Tempting as it is to track the results of every game on a Wikipedia article rather than on a website that one can't edit, the rules of WP:NOT and WP:NOT are right on point here.

 * Yeah. Newspapers and the NBA pay people to process this information, no reason for WP editors to do it for free. We should have better things to do. Northwestgnome (talk) 22:54, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. You know, having some sort of repository for stats from every game, every sport, going back as many seasons as possible, would be an interesting project. But this doesn't mean it's a good encyclopedia article. Notable matches, season series, and events can be added to 2009–10 NBA season in the usual way. Kudos to Hhoshy 90 for taking on such a daunting task, though. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 14:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
