Air Yards

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete the concept is straightforward but apparently is only used by one statistical compiler. It doesn't seem to have mainstream acceptance where a team's or quaterback's passing yards are not qualified by how many were in the air and how many were after the catch. I also note that we don't track this information in our own articles. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as long as the only source is the proposal for the new stat. Need  independent coverage before it can be considered a notable concept.  Doesn't really matter whether it's a good stat or a tracked stat, just whether it's notable; so far it doesn't appear to be. Dicklyon (talk) 19:14, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I follow the NFL and edit articles relating to it and not once have I ever said "where are his air yards?" So easy delete on my part.-- Iamawesome800  Talk to Me   00:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
