Wikipedia is not a collection of statistics.

Comment – However, other individual football teams also have sections based purely on previous results. Could this page be merged into the main premier league page, perhaps?

Comment –
WP:NSEASONS states that there should be well–sourced prose. Therefore, they're in violation of WP:NSEASONS.

Delete – A stats article is not needed, results can be found on the mainarticle. Teamseasons have matches if a user is interested in them.

Delete - This is a violation of
WP:NOTSTATS. Even the parent article comes close to violating that policy, but this one is way too far. –

Delete – This article is not needed as footballboxes with results exist on the season articles for the teams and the rest exist on main premier league season article. Also agree with above. QED237(talk) 20:13, 16 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Delete per above arguments. All this stuff is or will be in other articles. How long would this article be by the end of the season?

Comment I agree with the above comments, and accept that it is not needed. However, if it were to be added into the main article, how would it be done? (I'm new to Wikipedia, and so I don't know much about the requirements for inclusion in articles)

Just the results table is used in the mainarticle, the footballboxes would be deleted.

You could also add prose to the article.

Comment I said Delete rather than Redirect as I don't see any reason that someone would search on the longer term "2014-15 Premier League Results" rather than "2014–15 Premier League" --

Delete - as an unnecessary fork.

Delete/ Redirect - Most of the content is already covered in "
2014–15 Premier League", there is no point duplicating the content.

Comment I think it will be very helpful if at least we link every result in the "Results Table" to the report. That way whoever wants to can go and pull up the full statistic page for each match. If Wikipedia is not a collection of statistics, then we should facilitate the access to external sources with more detailed results. I kind of wish this was done to previous seasons as well. --

I think it should be the form of prose. League season articles tend to lack prose.
