List of National Basketball Association single-postseason series scoring leaders

Fails WP:LISTN, with no reliable sources that discuss this grouping. This is comparing scoring averages in a single series, but is not discriminating about which series gets included. Mixing apples with oranges. I've never seen this in RSs for the NBA. Moreover, even a mega stats site like Basketball-Reference.com has nothing like this there. A list of leaders from an entire postseason might be notable, but not a mixed bag like this. Nothing can be preserved by renaming, so the only option is to delete. —Bagumba (talk) 23:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't have a problem retaining this article, though I won't aggressively fight for its existence. I think it contains interesting information, and besides I've seen lists like this before. For example, see
  • The Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia. Villard Books. 1994. p. 400. ISBN 0-679-43293-0.
which lists the top several entries as does the link at . Note that some of this information is effectively replicated at NBA post-season records (as records for series of different lengths), so nothing too important is riding on this discussion. — Myasuda (talk) 01:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
If there only exist stats lists and not prose in sources, I'd argue it's a case of WP:NOTSTATS, without any substantial benefit to apply WP:IAR. As you mentioned, NBA post-season records already exists and lists the No. 1 entry for all records, so it wouldn't fit to merge it there either to expand it with the non-records.—Bagumba (talk) 01:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
Keep I'd argue if you don't like the prose and style of the argue, clean it up, contribute and make it better. Rather than try to get it deleted. Actually contribute something, rather than try to destroy everything others created.Bluesangrel (talk) 18:38, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
The nomination cited WP:LISTN, a Misplaced Pages guideline. Feel free to demonstrate that it is met. Nobody said the article was WP:UGLY.—Bagumba (talk) 21:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
