List of Indian Premier League records and statistics

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

This is a massively overdetailed WP:NOTSTATS violations, every single table is just a copy of ESPNcricinfo data, rather than sources showing why these stats are necessary for a separate article. And we also have most of the same stats for each team individually in separate articles such as List of Chennai Super Kings records, so there's literally no point duplicating this content with more additional random stats in a complete IPL stats mess article.

 * Keep; I am well aware of WP:OTHERSTUFF, but there is a good precedent for this type of article. Premier League records and statistics, List of Cricket World Cup records (a Featured list), List of NHL records (individual), List of Test cricket records (another Featured list). Sure, at the moment this article doesn't do it very well, but we judge the subject, not the content. A quick Google search for "IPL records" shows there there is plenty of notability of this subject.

 * Keep "IPL team-wise records exist, so there's no need for this" isn't a valid rationale for deletion. There's even a featured list for this type of articles- List of Cricket World Cup records. With a simple google search, we can find many sources which discusses about IPL records (sometimes as a group). And often we see news/coverage like this- X player scored the fastest century in IPL. Y team records the highest total in an innings in IPL and so on. So, article clearly passes WP:NLIST. Since cricinfo is the best and most reliable source for stats, it's normal that the list will be copied or taken from Cricinfo. If the explanatory text in the lead can be a bit more expanded, it will also meet the requirements of WP:NOTSTATS. RoboCric (talk) 17:04, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact that we can make encyclopedic content about the Cricket World Cup statistics doesn't mean that we can make encyclopedic content out of IPL stats. WP:OSE. Also, the team ones are relevant, because this is just duplication of them, we don't need both sets of duplicating statistics.

 * Where did you get the idea that this is a duplication of team stats. Suppose, KKR have recorded the highest ever team total (by any team) in IPL. Then, can a random reader find this record or know about the highest total in IPL match by going to the stats page of CSK or any other team. Team records stay within the team. While this list is a collection of full IPL tournament stats, who is the overall highest run-scorer, highest wicket-taker etc... And as said, IPL records have plenty of coverage in news articles or other websites. RoboCric (talk) 02:23, 22 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep per all above. Article subject is notable enough, and passes WP:NLIST. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 17:26, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per the above. It is not unreasonable to have the overall records and statistics for a competition. Perhaps in places it needs to be tidied, and any team statistics perhaps redirected here. StickyWicket (talk) 18:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not sure if the nominator understands how cricket statistics work. StAnselm (talk) 01:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:NPA. Yes, I understand how cricket stats work, you can disagree with me without questioning my competency. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 07:17, 22 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep. If anybody wants to see ipl records, they get all the records on this page.
 * Also, most people use Wikipedia for information purposes, so why do they want to waste time by scrolling random websites?
 * In international cricket there are also different pages for overall international records and team records, but I don't think you understand that both are different. That's why you consider articles for deletion. Bhargavkc0089 (talk) 04:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep I'd say this list is worthy of keeping from the number of IPL lists there are as it more easily condenses information for the reader, having this in the main IPL page would make it of undue length. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:11, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
