 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. This appears to be part of a series of articles about basketball statistics created by the same person (Dean Oliver (statistician)). The statistics might be notable, but these articles are (1) mostly unsourced and (2) are very short and highly dependent on each other. For example, this two-sentence article defines "player wins" as Player Games times Player Winning Percentage, both of which are also statistics created by Oliver. Hence, a reader would need to refer to at least two other articles to understand this one -- and those other articles have a combined total of eight sentences. And Player Winning Percentage is dependent on Offensive rating and Defensive rating, which are also stats created by Oliver. It would be preferable to discuss Oliver's statistics in a more comprehensive article to avoid readers from having to go back and forth so much, if indeed those statistics are notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:19, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, this article and the two mentioned above could all be deleted with redirects to Dean Oliver (statistician), if indeed he did coin/develop these terms. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per not being encyclopedic content which would be more suitable as a section in another, more fleshed out article. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:45, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
