[edit] January 21 in baseball

• Delete all articles in Category:Dates in baseball while I seriously admire the hard work that's going into these pages, I don't see baseball history by date as notable or useful. Merge whatever info can be merged into the Years in baseball articles. --Revolución (talk) 17:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete lest we be inundated with articles like "Famous Tuesdays In Hockey" Ruby 17:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep A harmless set of articles. Osomec 18:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• This is a toughie, but I'll say keep. Baseball dates are very notable and useful, although "Dates in baseball" is much less useful than "years in baseball." Grandmasterka 20:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Grandmasterka, Useful list --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 20:22, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep While baseball history may not be very popular outside the U.S. and Latin-America, it still has a following of thousands. This cat. with its' articles serves as an excellent source for both the baseball historian and common fan. Tony the Marine 22:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, we can afford 365 such entries. They seem well maintained. Punkmorten 22:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• DELETE quickly as per nomination! Jcuk 22:52, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if only because Baseball is followed almost as closely as religion in the States. Antonio Boxing knocks baseball out Martin
• Keep per Punkmorten. Crunch 23:01, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The baseball season runs March to October? VERY little of note has ever happened on Janurary 21. Perhaps a random trade? Page has no use. I can support most of these during the cours eof the season, but not a random day in January. Phantasmo 01:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Punkmorten. Nothing wrong with this page. --W.marsh 03:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, good article, no point destroying it. Kappa 07:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Serves a purpose, for all of them to be here, as baseball history, no matter the date, is interesting to manyXalfor 10:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, interesting factoids that I'm sure others find interesting. --CFIF 22:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment please read Phantasmo's comment, everyone. --Revolución (talk) 00:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not WikiBaseball. Stifle 00:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Important things happen in the off season as well. No Guru 00:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Interesting and informative. -Colin Kimbrell 16:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per Punkmorten. jareha 17:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. On the one hand, it'd be a shame to just throw away all this good work. And it's harmless, and well maintained. On the other hand, its not really encyclopedic to maintain this info in this way. It's not trivial information, but it's trivial when organized by date. How is this going to help a researcher? It's just factoids of stuff that happened in random years, that happened to be on the same date. Fine for reading with your breakfast cereal but is that what an encyclopedia is for? Should be reorganized by year. Herostratus 19:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, harmless, 365 pages won't kill you. -- Jake 00:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is not very important, but it is harmless, isn't it?FlamesRule
• Keep, while I don't often contribute to these articles, I certainly appreciate those that do. This is definitely encyclopedic information. TrafficBenBoy 03:31, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 18:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
