List of Pittsburgh sports seasons

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to fail WP:LISTN as too generic of a topic (as it a "List of X of Y" as it is actually a List of Lists of Pittsburgh-based sports seasons and possibly a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization) and as a compilation of other lists making this appear to be WP:LISTCRUFT.

This appears to have been unmerged from a section in Sports in Pittsburgh#Performance of the 4 major sports and then further expanded to include other popular teams. However, this list is huge and not what would be considered generally helpful. Each list has to be abbreviated to the point of being incomprehensible even to those who understand which each abbreviation might mean. In reality, this is just a confusing compilation of lists that already exist, in a better format, found at List of Pittsburgh Steelers seasons, List of Pittsburgh Panthers football seasons, List of Pittsburgh Power seasons, List of Pittsburgh Penguins seasons, List of Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball seasons, Duquesne Dukes men's basketball#Yearly results, List of Pittsburgh Pirates seasons. As this list is only link to one other article, it is also very out of date and likely to stay that way most of the time as the one editor whose pet project this was seems to no longer be active. Since this was originally split off from the Sports in Pittsburgh article, I would propose this List of Lists be deleted and the section in Sports in Pittsburgh that links here be expanded in prose with cited materials discussing the success of the teams in Pittsburgh (the list with the total number of championships and seasons won is already directly below the section that links to this list).

Delete This entire article is Sabermetrics and Stats Inc. having an unholy alliance outside of Heinz Field and spewing out...I don't know what to call this, but it isn't encyclopedic in the least. Nate • (chatter) 00:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete entirely redundant to pages on individual sports teams, and so poorly formatted as to justify a WP:TNT deletion. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:01, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Redundant, mashed together and confusing as all heck, with a healthy dose of WP:OR thrown in (Number of All-Stars/Pro Bowlers/All-Americans draft picks on team?). Clarityfiend (talk) 10:11, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this not at all reader friendly, but even if it was I don't think this is a route we want to go. To me, this is too much of a synthesis. Lepricavark (talk) 04:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
