Chicago Bears statistics

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a collection of trivial statistics, a clear violation of WP:NOTSTATSBOOK.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  01:08, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete absolute failure of WP:NOTSTATSBOOK.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:24, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Is your concern at all based on partial duplication with List of Chicago Bears team records? Or do you view both as problematic? See also Category:American football team records and statistics. Cbl62 (talk) 01:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the team records article has a better case for being kept, as it's at least specific about its scope. "Statistics" is too vague for an article, and I'd support grouping the other "(NFL team) statistics" pages in that category here as well.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  01:40, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. I question whether NOTSTATSBOOK is the proper grounding. But I do believe this list is of dubious notability under WP:LISTN as we have no evidence that the subject "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" as suggested by LISTN. I also have problem with the lack of cohesiveness of the topic, and also a concern that it represents WP:OR. Team records, on the other hand, appear to me to be a cohesive and legitimate list topic.

 * Delete. Clearly WP:NOTSTATS. Mostly trivial stats or records without clear verification. Ajf773 (talk) 19:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment It is wrong to single out this article. Minnesota Vikings statistics, Los Angeles Rams statistics and maybe List of Carolina Panthers records and statistics deserve to be discussed along with this article. Despite the page name of Pittsburgh Steelers statistics, that content is more like a records article. I think these pages should be discussed jointly. -TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that the other articles either (A) probably could also go through AFD or (B) are better sourced. I have no objection either way to including them in this AFD or creating new ones other than the delay that may come up.  But we can handle a delay, there is no deadline.  What say everyone else?--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't agree that all should be lumped together. For example, Pittsburgh Steelers statistics is really a "records" list and a well-sourced one.  The instant article is quite different, and there is already a Bears' team records list at List of Chicago Bears team records. Cbl62 (talk) 23:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
