Violation of WP:NOTSTATS. 46.211.110.167 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)

Keep The introduction of the article clearly explains the premise of the article. At WP:NOTSTATS it specifically quotes "Wikipedia articles should not be...Excessive listings of UNEXPLAINED statistics". The statistics are clearly explained and therefore WP:NOTSTATS does not apply.

Keep WP:NOTSTATS says that statistics should have explanatory text to provide context, and that if an article has a large quantity of statistics then they should be split off into a standalone article. This is a standalone article consisting of statistics with explanatory text. WP:NOTSTATS certainly doesn't say that we can't have articles which consist overwhelmingly of statistics.

Keep WP:NOTSTATS doesn't apply here. Septrillion (talk) 03:02, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per the above. Nigej (talk) 04:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per the above. I would like to add that in my opinion, the request for deletion is so obviously uncalled for and so ill-timed (start of the world championship is possibly the time of year this article gets accessed the most), it is bordering on vandalism. I call for speedy keep unless anyone comes forward with arguments in favour of deletion in the next, say, 24 hours. I will not apply speedy keep myself because that would be against WP:NACD.

Comment I am involved in these articles so I am going to refrain from voting, but it needs to be noted that this article is part of a family of articles (see {{Snooker world rankings}} for a full list) so the nomination needs to be considered in that context. It is also worth noting that this nomination appears to be a "revenge" nomination resulting from Talk:2018 World Snooker Championship. Betty Logan (talk) 14:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:NOTSTATS isn't even remotely close here. WP:SNOW should be in effect here Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:48, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:NOTSTATS I don't understand why this page should be deleted. It's the better mode to know the year's results and how the ranking could change after every revision. It's a very neccessary page... Villamelano ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
