 * Delete As with the list of Huskies' receiving leaders, I don't like the precedent of having a page for every position of every sports team that ever played -- whether its the stats of the UW quarterbacks, or Chicago Cubs shortstops, New York Giants' punters, etc.  Other than creating a fansite of one's own, I don't see the purpose of having a list of numbers "that anyone can edit".  This is WP:NOT, not much more than a listing of passing statistics with no context.  One of my favorite statements from WP:NOT is that "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed". Mandsford (talk) 15:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename as Washington Huskies rushing leaders, because that is what this list seems to be. Otherwise, I don't see a problem with it.  I wouldn't have a problem even if it was just a position list, but as a team leader list the appropriateness to keep is even stronger. Rlendog (talk) 21:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course, the text should also be expanded so that this becomes an article about Huskies' rushing leaders, rather than just a list of stats, but that can be done over time. Rlendog (talk) 21:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Wikipedia isn't a sports or statistics guide for every team. NCAA leaders maybe relevant and notable, not this.  Grsz 11  23:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Even though right now there is little more to the article than a list of stats, the topic has scope for an article to be written about the list that would make it more than a statistics guide and would be appropriate here. Rlendog (talk)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, not only is this a stats table, it is for a college team. There will be no end of it. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:24, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
