| May 15, 2013 at 22:15 | comment | added | Bogdanovist | I agree, that's a great question. It's clear then that the issue is not 'the question contains statistics' that is the problem with some other questions. It's probably more of a 'too localised' issue, so that good question covers an interesting and fundamental questions, whereas the other questions I pointed to addressed trivial edge cases and had very limited scope. It's clear that 'statistics questions are bad' is too simplistic. I'll have a think about how to succinctly describe the 'bad' stats questions to not whack the good ones. | |

Some of these statistics questions (especially the ones you refer to) fall under trivia. It was determined during a quality evaluation last year that such questions are on-topic for this site.

Some are acceptable (sabermetrics in baseball), but we, the community, is discovering that other such statistics questions do not... | |
