[edit] Baseball in the UK

This article seems to fall squarely under WP:VSCA Wesmills 11:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete There may possibly be scope for an article on this subject but this self-serving tosh certainly isn't it. BTLizard 11:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

*Delete. I'm completely with BTLizard. It's a viable topic. I can see an article on it. But this isn't it. --Woohookitty^(meow) 12:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Article isn't pretty now but it's a start. --Woohookitty^(meow) 01:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, although the subject could be notable, the article in its current form is pretty much beyond help.-- danntm ^T _C 13:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• keep per my rewrite (which itself could do with a rewrite by someone more knowledgable about the subject!) Jcuk 16:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Kappa 21:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant delete, I like some of the facts here, but I'd rather see this topic listed on WP:WPBB as a future expansion need. It definitely has potential. Also FYI, someone has added this page and also an external link about "Irish baseball" to the main baseball article, so if (when) this gets deleted, there's a cleanup there as well. -- dakern74 (talk) 21:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I think this will teach Jcuk a valuable lesson: never attempt to improve an article on AFD. Kappa 21:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (Jcuk's rewritten, non-advertisement version, that is . . .). The article needs cleanup, sourcing, and expanding, but it's a plenty legitimate topic. ScottW 22:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Jcuk's version per ScottW. Nice way to fight the spammers, but this article still needs quite a bit of work, particularly with references. Style is an easy fix. Irongargoyle 23:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. The rewrite's a start anyway, and it's a perfectly notable topic. BryanG^(talk) 03:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Sure, there is one interesting case of Derby County's Baseball Ground, but is there anything truly notable or encyclopedic about the subject? I say no. Considering the current state of baseball in Great Britain, I can't foresee any expansion on this small article. Lazybum 06:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. If baseball is played in the U.K. in any sort of organized way it should have an article. I'm not going to deny that this particular article is in need of cleanup, but the topic is certainly worthy of inclusion, what with Wikipedia not being paper and all.–♥ «Charles A.

• Delete, unless it can be merged elsewhere.-Kmaguir1 08:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Unless some refs and cites are added. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge. It can be merged into the main baseball article, under the section titled Popularity. Then again, it doesn't really seem to be that popular nowadays in the UK anyway.--Nishkid64 00:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge per above. --MaNeMeBasat 14:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
