AFC Wimbledon league record by opponent

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD on the grounds that the subject matter is notable though no indication how this is so provided. Fundamentally misleading article in the first place as much of the stat dump appears to be concerned with their non-league career. Season articles per WP:NSEASONS and WP:FOOTY consensus would not be appropriate for this club at that level as they were not playing in a fully professional league, so not sure how they are appropriate in this different form.

Furthermore it is unclear why this article should be limited to just league fixtures.

Finally, whilst there are certainly notable points in the lead regarding their promotions and their unbeaten runs, but these should be discussed in the history and the long list of stats below does nothing to enhance these claims nor help the reader gain a greater understanding of these initial statements.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - with regard to the inclusion of stats from the club's non-League era, it's worth noting that an article like Luton Town F.C. league record by opponent, a long-standing FL, includes results from the period when the club played outside the Football League...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:51, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as original PRODder - these kind of articles can be notable, but they are not automatically notable, and I see no indication that this example is i.e. has AFC Wimbledon's league record received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources as required by WP:GNG? No. GiantSnowman 07:59, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Lists like this have the potential to reach featured status, and those that have include Birmingham City F.C. league record by opponent, Manchester United F.C. league record by opponent and York City F.C. league record by opponent. And I should add that all of those lists include non-League statsitcs.  This list needs improving, not deleting. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per Mattythewhite. AfD is not for cleanup.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:06, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mattythewhite and Lugnuts articles are generally only deleted for problems with content only if they are unsalvageable .But this list can be improved as Mattythewhite rightly points out.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 08:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
