Delete Fails WP:NOT#INFO - Wikipedia is not long and sprawling lists of statistics. Article is also original research. SeveroTC 15:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Formula One records is a similar article, and it hasn't been nominated for deletion. And it's not original research - continuing with the Formula One comparison, would it be original research to say Fernando Alonso has twice been Formula One world champion, or that Sebastien Vettel holds the record of the youngest driver to finish in the points? -- Danilot 15:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sports-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 17:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: The precedent for lists of common sporting records is overwhelmingly positive. Furthermore, nom falls into a standard misconception of the tenets of WP:OR. "Original research" is not defined as compiling a list of readily-available and easily proven facts. It is when an editor derives a synthesis from those facts. This article does not do so.
