WP:OR, not to mention confusing for users who may be looking for actual NFL standings. Skudrafan1 (talk) 19:14, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NLIST, unsourced. If it was really a full list of NFL standings going back to 1920, it would include all of the defunct NFL franchises. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NOR and WP:NOTSTATS. Ajf773 (talk) 23:43, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it definitely needs to be edited (all teams included) and sourced, but it is clearly source-able material. We can find multiple sources for the records of each franchise including the defunct franchise, they are published in numerous reliable sources, and the subject mater is absurdly notable. This is an editing issue and not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:06, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTSTATS or redefine, rename, and and properly source article to meet WP:LISTN. The content of the list article does not accurately correspond to the subject it is covering. It is not standings, it is the "List of overall NFL team season-by-season records" or "List of cumulative NFL team season records". Standings refer to where a team "stands" within the league at a given time, but they are never listed by all-time records. Standings are only used in-season, not all-time. As in, there are no sources that I know of that would claim the Cleveland Browns are the 11th best all-time team in the NFL (as of the 2016 update of this article). If the sources do existing comparing the overall records of the NFL franchises (not just that the team has an all-time win-loss record, that is a team specific not league-specific subject, and that would make this list be WP:OR thru WP:SYNTH), then keep and rename the article.

Delete per reasons posted by other users above. – Sabbatino (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Sort of interesting, but pretty clearly from the land of WP:NOTSTATS. Carrite (talk) 06:24, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
