@Dissident93: One of the requirements of WP:WIAFL is that the contents of the list do not "change significantly from day to day". I know this list only gets updated weekly during the football season, but to make a comparison, a previous similar FL nomination of mine was declined because it was undergoing almost daily updates throughout the season. It was therefore suggested to me that only completed seasons should be listed. – PeeJay20:37, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm open to a counterargument, tbh. It could be argued that these articles are generally stable, so wouldn't fail that WIAFL criterion as long as they only get updated in response to game results. I just think it's better to maintain longer-term stability by going year-by-year. – PeeJay21:06, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PeeJay, well we also do stat updates for players and update coaching records after every week, so it should apply there too right? I don't think updating something weekly makes a list "unstable", especially when it's as simple as just increasing the W or L (or T) by 1. That guideline feels more like something that would apply to the list of most-viewed YouTube videos, where one could update figures every hour and never be fully up to date. ~ Dissident93(talk)10:24, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, that's why I haven't reverted your last edit. I do think it's neater to avoid adding incomplete seasons, but by the same token, the list could be said to be incomplete if it didn't address the fact that a season is in progress. – PeeJay19:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
