[edit] 2006 American League Pennant Race

Delete. 2006 in baseball already exists to cover significant events in baseball for 2006. Wikipedia is not a news report (WP:NOT). At least, cleanup or merge to 2006 in baseball. The current article focuses too closely on the Yankees and the Red Sox. -- Win777 05:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• keep. 2006 in baseball focuses generally on everything, not a day to day happenings of theteams involved in the race, but if it can be merged as a subsection then okay. --YankeeFan2006. 8:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC) Actually posted by 152.163.100.65 (talk • contribs)
• Delete. No-one's going to create 1935 American League Pennant Race, and what's special about 2006 (besides systemic bias towards right now?) Wikinews may want it. -- GWO

  If you look at the Wild card standings you'll see it's a very tight race, just a half game separates the top three teams. I thought it's better to create a page that focuses on the progress of these teams. Go Yankees. 09:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

  • And if we wanted to follow the pennant race, then Yahoo sports or equivalent would be the source we go to. This is an encyclopaedia. -- Whpq 16:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. We know the drill...Red Sox and Yankees keep it close in the East, Yanks pull away in September and the Sox beat everyone else for the wildcard. It's happened 3 straight years now. In any event, should be shortened and merged to 2006 in baseball. Kirjtc2 13:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Feh. The Jays are comin'! ... Oh, um... Put anything useful into 2006 in baseball and delete this as being unnecessary. Tony Fox (speak) 20:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

What, you don't thing the D-Rays can make a late run and overtake everyone? And then beat the Royals in the ALCS? No faith. Fan-1967 23:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. As someone who follows the races closely, this is not the source I come to. ESPN, CNN/SI and numerous others are in the business of providing daily (even hourly) updates for breaking stories. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Also gross potential for POV (why does every paragraph start with the Yankees?). Fan-1967 14:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - agree with Win777. -- Whpq 16:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not your local sports page. 2006 in baseball covers this well enough. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 17:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Not nessacary. Knowing Is Half The Battle 22:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Even being a rabid Yankees fan, this focuses to much on the Red Sox and the Yankees. There are other A.L. teams. Mikeeilbacher 01:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Yes, the page akso talk about the Twins and White Sox. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.188.116.130 (talk • contribs) .
• comment: If this page is deleted would it be possible to post this info to 2006 in baseball? YankeeFan2006 10:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
