List of 500 point seasons in college football

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to fail WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:NOT, specifically item No. 3 of the latter, which states Wikipedia articles should not be...excessive listings of unexplained statistics. The 500-point cutoff mark seems arbitrary to me and is not explained in the article, which has only three sentences of prose. There is only one source cited, an archive of CFB Data Warehouse, which just gives the list in its entirety, also without context. PCN02WPS ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 21:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NLIST. It seems that people/sports media only care about the record holder. I don't see a comparable list in reliable sports outlets. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:39, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. This list has been around since 2006, i.e., the early days of college football on Wikipedia. The "500-point season" doesn't appear to be a "thing" that is discussed in reliable sources or even blogs. This is simply a reproduction of a non-notable list created by user "Tex Noel" at College Football Data Warehouse. See here. Further, using 500 wins as a benchmark is questionable given the wide variation in games played (as few as nine and as many as 15). A better measure of the highest scoring teams of all time would be points per game. Cbl62 (talk) 00:40, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I have contributed to this list and appreciate the notification. I agree with Cbl's analysis.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete nice work, nice research. Might be better suited for another place--maybe try another wiki??--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:19, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
