::Alright, after talking it over in Discord with OT, I feel comfortable to change my vote to '''Support''' as from what we talked about this doesn't mean people can just remove win lists. Rather, if your going to remove a win list it is expected you will provide context to the wins. And if one does so, it's fine to revert the edit and inform the person that they need to provide context to the wins instead of just removing the list. This addresses my issues, as it won't mean a bunch of articles suddenly are worse off and have less info, while at the same time it will lead to smasher articles that provide more useful and accurate representation of player skill.

I expected some strong pushback for this change, so I was thinking of other ways we can denote wins without having to do a win list. There is obviously just writing more on each win on the intro, but I don't think it would lead to many people really reading it, since a win list is easier to just skim through than a chunk of text which actually requires effort to read. A second idea is having its own section, with some ground rules. Basically, something like this (using acola as an example):
