[edit] Baseball_Slang

This page needless duplicates the "Baseball slang" page. This is not to be confused with this page which is entitled "Baseball Slang". This page is not formated as well, nor contains as much information as the similarly named other page. The other page is properly linked with List_of_baseball_jargon. Only one page needs to exist, and it should be the other page. 70.106.208.134 06:42, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:duplicate articles is down the hall, third door on the left. Uncle G 07:04:39, 2005-08-04 (UTC)
  • This intrigues me greatly. I know that Wikipedia:Copyright problems is down the hall, second door on the left. So what's the first on the left, after VfD? -Splash 23:08, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Yes, please de-list. And then merge and redirect, naturally. -- Visviva 09:10, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• No, perhaps merge with other article. Sorry I didn't check more carefully before I originated this article, but it actually differs in content from the other. The other is more of a "baseball slang in every day useage" article, while this one is "baseball slang actually used in describing a game". It could reasonable be a subsection of the other article.Synaptidude 13:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Baseball slang. And Keep the resulting redirect, so no one writes an article in this space. I will handle the merge Monday. Septentrionalis 22:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

  Comment I have handled the first third of the merge. There are almost no duplications between the two articles, and the Baseball Slang appears to contain less hackneyed terms. They should be merged, but this VfD was an error. Septentrionalis 20:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Further comment reveals that the content should be Merged with Baseball jargon; but the redirect should still be to Baseball slang, of course. 17:23, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Have moved content. Septentrionalis 01:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
