- Keep. This article is not "an indiscriminate collection of information". It is, in fact, a member of a set of 53 analogous lists found here: Category:Lists of college football statistical leaders by team. The appropriateness of the inclusion of these lists on Wikipedia should be considered first at the class level. Jweiss11 (talk) 22:06, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep WP:NOTSTATSBOOK is not a reason to delete this article. It provides: "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader." Here, the lists are well-formulated, clean and concise, and the article includes sufficient explanatory text. Cbl62 (talk) 22:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep These lists are not trivial, meaningless information, nor indiscriminate lists. Any time a player breaks a school record or is climbing the leaderboard, AP stories and ESPN on-air recaps mention it. Wikipedia includes hundreds, if not thousands, of meaningful, non-trivial lists about sports like these, many of which don't have the written context of these.

- Keep Aside from all the valid points above, I would like to note, especially before Matt Forte, the likes of Peggy Flournoy, Don Zimmerman, and Bill Banker were all highly notable for their statistical achievements listed here. Cake (talk) 22:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per Cbl62's reasoning and arguments. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:38, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
