List of National Basketball Association career double-double leaders

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

What is the point of having this list when it is already succinctly covered within Double (basketball)? This list only provides statistics back to 1985-86, so it does not seem very encyclopedic. Hoops gza (talk) 16:20, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

This is an extensive list. The list on Double (basketball) is not near as extensive. Statistics before the 1985-86 NBA season could always be added if reliable sources exist. I know that only including the stats until the 1985-86 season makes the article less encyclopedia, but the NBA did implement new statistics over time. The National Basketball Association did not record steals and blocks statistics until the 1973-74 season. The NBA did not add the three-point line until the 1979-80 season. Implementing new statistics over time has increased possibilities of achieving a double-double, so including double-doubles until a season such as 1985-86 would be somewhat expected.

 * Delete I'm not finding sources that this grouping meets WP:LISTN, namely "it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". This listing isn't even generally available per se from a stats site; it is the result of a user-emtered query from a stats site, making WP:OR relevant as well.—Bagumba (talk) 06:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per Bagumba's rationale immediately above. List creator has amalgamated multiple topics into a single subject for which significant coverage does not exist in multiple, independent, reliable sources per the list notability guidelines of WP:NLIST.

 * Keep there is a listing page for every single statistic, why not this one? Timmyshin (talk) 04:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bagumba. Why not this one?  Firstly, because WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and secondly because WP:LISTN.  On a statistical note, I'm sceptical of statistics where most of the variation seems to be explained by the year the player stopped playing.  GoldenRing (talk) 05:31, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Has only 1 source which is not enough for GNG. Also WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
