This is another WP:NOTSTATS violation featuring indiscriminate trivia. Let'srun ( talk) 01:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a harmless list of achievements rather than an indiscriminate collection of stats.

- Comment For reference, there's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Carmelo Anthony , Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Chris Paul and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Dwyane Wade (2nd nomination).— Bagumba ( talk) 06:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I think parts of this article do qualify as an "indiscriminate collection of information". Take the "NBA highs since 1983-84" section. Why is that season chosen as the cutoff? Who is the audience for statistics with that level of granularity? Who is going to take the time to confirm that all of that content is still up to date? The more important achievements should already be listed in the Dwight Howard article. Zagalejo ( talk) 22:59, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

WP:CONTENTFORK packed with
WP:UNDUE, indiscriminate mentions of being one of X players to achieve a trivial statistical cross section, or arbitrary cutoffs like "since 1983–84". Major, defining achievements should be captured in the main bio. Also fails
WP:NOTSTATS:
Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing
The page is a pure stats dump.— Bagumba ( talk) 15:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete There's no good reason for this entire category of articles to exist. A person's notable accomplishments should be found in the article about that person. A person's non-notable accomplishments should be found nowhere. There will always be disputes whether a certain accomplishment is notable or not, and such disputes are valid and necessary. This type of article is essentially claiming that there's a whole new category "Sort-Of-Notable-Ish Accomplishments". There is no such category. If it turns out that articles about brilliant outliers with huge lists of notable accomplishments become too long to read, deal with those individually.
