Numbers

It's not necessary to include the list of every winner under a number. 1, we include number 1/2 and 30 because, in the kayfabe, 1/2 are the numbers with less chances to win (because they start the match) and 30 is the number with more chances (he enters the last). 2, both are the numbers that WWE includes every year in their promotional video with the %. 3, it's pointless to include every single number. If you want to know the number, you have the numbers in the winners table. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't even understand this logic. By this logic there's no reason for most eliminations, most entrances or even time in the ring because that information is somewhere else. There's no reason to decide these ones count enough to note, but these ones don't. If we're drawing arbitrary lines about which numbers are and aren't important then 27 surely should be listed because it has more winners. 24 has one less. Those are the actual best chances. A static wiki page and a promo video are not comparable. If they went through all the numbers in a video it would be too long. There is no too long in a written page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.255.63 (talk) 22:38, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

The section is "Royal Rumble records" and things like Most acumulated eliminations, most time aren't in the article. We can´t list every single winner, because the information is in the article. We are repeating information. However, we include number 1/2 because, inside the kayfabe, are the numbers with less chances to win (survive 29 wrestlers) and 30, more chances to win. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Still ridiculous to me. The records aren't real. Listing 1 and 2 and 30 is arbitrary. There's no reason not to have an easy list to check on a webpage. It's not wasting space or bandwidth. Either list them all or ditch them all, and there's no reason to ditch them other than "it's too long". It's literally the only reason I, personally, came here. For information. Like, encyclopedic information. That I can check. Without having to do a bunch of clicking on a bunch of articles to find out how many #5s won or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.255.63 (talk) 14:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
