The result was delete; as far as alternatives go, merging appears to have been covered and categorising lists that have been created from listified categories seems like an exercise in futility. --Sam Blanning(talk) 21:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

List of 300 passing touchdown club

 * — (View AfD)

PROD was contested (probably properly, insofar as the reason I provided was likely not the most persuasive). This was listified in view of a 17 August CfD (the disposition of which was, IMHO, quite wrong), but is not particularly useful qua list. In contradistinction from, for example, 500 home run club, this is not a club to which a single appellative is often ascribed (and not itself notable; each of "300 touchdown club", "300 touchdowns club", and "300 passing touchdowns club" returns fewer than 35 non-WP Ghits) and the article ought properly to be constitued as, e.g., List of National Football League passing touchdown leaders and List of Canadian Football League passing touchdown leaders. What is here, though, need not to be merged&mdash;these are plain statistics, a recitation of which does not require GFDL attribution, and this content is readily available&mdash;and this would make a particularly worthless redirect.

For the same reasons, I am nominating: each of which was listified in view of the CfD and similarly comprises very, very little. Joe 06:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete or rename The titles are abominable. I acknowledge total lack of familiarity with the sport, so if these achievements really are the sort of thing you'd want a list of, move them to sensible titles (perhaps optimally as a ranked rather than an undifferentiated list). Otherwise, delete. Opabinia regalis 06:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, because Wikipedia is not a collection of lists. Charlie 07:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe you were looking for WP:LIST and misunderstood WP:NOT, which doesn't apply here?
 * Merge/Rename To NFL Passing records or similar. I hope someone familiar with American Football can perform this, afer this the existing articles can be deleted. Catchpole 08:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I suppose it should be observed that this information need not to be merged, insofar as any passing records article will not need to incorporate any of it. I gather that it is suggested that until such time as someone creates National Football League passing records and Canadian Football League passing records these should remain, but I'd submit that they serve no encyclopedic purpose at present, such that we need not to preserve them as essentially a reminder that we create the broader pages; I imagine that WP:RA would better serve the latter purpose.

 * Comment Notwithstanding that, I have created the requisite articles at List of National Football League passing yardage leaders and List of National Football League passing touchdowns leaders. Joe 20:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
