Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. To all available evidence, this is a classic "list of people who happen to have accomplished X", with no properly referenced indication that X is actually an encyclopedically notable (as opposed to "compendium of sports trivia") thing to have accomplished. Obviously of interest to some stats geeks, but that's not what Wikipedia is for. Bearcat (talk) 23:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per it being unencyclopedic trivia. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:56, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. Elton Bunny (talk) 12:51, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm sure all this information is elsewhere. Such a narrow topic has no possibility of expansion, and all it is doing is acting as a webhost for a narrow intersction of data.Curb Chain (talk) 00:18, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Interesting, even fascinating? Absolutely. But encyclopedic? Nope. I'm not even sure a category would best suit this topic, honestly. But I've pinged Wikiproject College Basketball for their insight. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No obligation, but would the closing admin be so kind as to give us an extra day on this one? I just realized it's due for closure tomorrow, and I'd like some comment from Wikiproject College Basketball. Thanks, UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per other comments - interesting but not encyclopedic. Rikster2 (talk) 16:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think the content is encyclopedic. It should be WP:PRESERVEd somewhere. Since I can not think of where to merge it, I think it should be kept.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the nom says it all. To Tony: WP:NOTWEBHOST. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Trivia belongs on other websites. -Nathan Johnson (talk) 16:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
