Weak Keep The article features a lot of random statistics and everything. The article would be easier to manage if it were a simple list. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 16:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You think someone might change it to a simple list? Chidgk1 (talk) 11:09, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Valid navigational and information list. Not being able to keep something up to date is not a valid reason to delete it. Dream Focus 21:17, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It has a tag saying its factual accuracy is disputed so how do you know it is valid? Re being dated the deletion policy says that deletion "is appropriate for articles which cannot be improved". Chidgk1 (talk) 11:09, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It says "This article's factual accuracy is disputed. (June 2016)". So the tag is outdated. I see references throughout the article. The information is listed by year, so people know when it was last updated. Dream Focus 11:42, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it, but it would be nice if it was updated. 2603:7081:7C03:21AA:D860:4F31:C37E:1B4B (talk) 10:05, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Agree with Dream Focus above, the fact that it's difficult to keep up to date is not a reason for deletion. --Ita140188 (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But the deletion policy says that deletion "is appropriate for articles which cannot be improved". I suppose in theory given enormous editor effort it could be improved - but I contend that in practice it is obvious that it will not be kept up to date. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
