[edit] American Legion Baseball in Wisconsin
It's actually a shame there isn't an article on American Legion baseball in general. However, I can't see a reason for this article to exist. American Legion ball is on the same level as Little League, and I can't see having state by state articles for that. Except for copy editing and adding cats, the article hasn't been edited in a year, and the only real contributor is the original author. That leads me to believe this will never be more than the chart-without-context it is now. Only two mainspace pages link to it.

- Merge info from both into an article on American Legion baseball. Better than nothing. bd2412 T 12:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment If I'd come across these charts in an article on American Legion baseball, I probably would have deleted them as an unencyclopedic. The truth is, state by state tournament results just aren't that important. WP doesn't have state championship results for High school football or Amateur Athletic Union basketball, and I don't think we should. --Djrobgordon 17:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as unencyclopedic. I have lived in Janesville, one of the champions, for most of my life, and I've never heard of this; maybe it's been up on the letter sign outside the Legion hall, but this seems unimportant even per WP:LOCAL. If the team is still active, it certainly isn't talked about much, so I assume it's of interest mainly to Legionnaires and their families. --Dhartung | Talk 20:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per above, no context given or assertion of importance. –Pomte 00:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
