This is a clear WP:NOTSTATS violation of indiscriminate trivia. Let'srun (talk) 20:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Valid information that won't fit in their main article, so a spinout article is the right place to put it. This is how its done. Category:Career achievements of basketball players and Category:Career achievements of sportspeople have many examples of this. Dream Focus 01:22, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete User:Let'srun, you should have cited the recent precedent of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Chris Paul - a discussion you yourself created. That would make your argument stronger. Anyway, I think Carmelo's major accomplishments belong in the main Carmelo Anthony article. We're not losing anything by deleting ridiculously cherry-picked stats like "One of three players in NBA history to record 62+ points with 10 free throw attempts or less in a game." Much of this content is also out of date, particularly the Denver Nuggets franchise rankings. Zagalejo (talk) 16:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: See User:Let'srun's unsuccessful attempt to delete Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Jack Nicklaus. User:Let'srun appears to be on a mission to delete every career achievement article in Category:Career achievements of basketball players and Category:Career achievements of sportspeople. My question is where is the cut off and why...? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 00:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be more sympathetic to these articles if they were maintainable over time, but experience shows that they're not. You'd need a small army of NBA editors to deal with all the little details that need updating. Rankings and records easily go out of date; for example, Nikola Jokic has surpassed many of Carmelo's Nuggets accomplishments, but that's not reflected in this article. There are some things that Wikipedia will never be able to do as well as sites like basketball-reference.com.
These articles might work if they were limited to awards and truly significant records, but in most cases, we should be able to make room for such facts in the main article. (Of course, the main Carmelo Anthony page is super-bloated itself; the level of detail per season is higher than what you'd find at Michael Jordan. That's because people wrote Carmelo's career section while his career was ongoing, rather than taking a retrospective approach.) Zagalejo (talk) 06:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comment. I just wanted to add that there are some things basketball-reference (and all others) will never be able to do as well as Wikipedia on sports lists. When done right, career achievements is a collection of pertinent info from a variety of RS sources that no single non-Wiki source has access to. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 18:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because Carmelo's achievements are not significant enough, and he is constantly falling down the franchise record rankings. However, the rest of the NBA players on Category:Career achievements of basketball players are a keep vote from me except Dwight Howard and Dennis Rodman. IMO If player is arguably Top 10 all-time he qualifies for a page. Players outside Top 75 do not deserve their own. Here is the NBA’s 75th anniversary list, Dwight is not on it but Carmelo, Chris Paul, and Dwyane are on it. If any need updating, I can assists with that. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
