[edit] Baseball trivia

Baseball trivia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

"Trivia" in the name gives it away. Basically a pretty clear violation of WP:NOT a collection of random information. Maybe this can be salvaged by merging it elsewhere? Calliopejen1 03:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Pretty clear cut case of an indiscriminate list of information. Spellcast 04:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It would be better to organize this article to provide a logical grouping of facts. The subject in question is notable in itself as well. Thus this article should be re-written and not be deleted. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 04:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia, even if it is trivia that I personally like. Resolute 04:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Spellcast and Resolute. Maxamegalon2000 05:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per nom comments. 08:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete Cruft. Pity there isn't a speedy for this. Blueboy96 11:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Trivia. Period. Keb25 11:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Time to chop up the contents into little bits and insert them into relevant articles each line talks about per WP:HTRIVIA.--Kylohk 12:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:DICDEF, since in theory the article's purpose is to define the term "Baseball Trivia" as "Trivia about Baseball", and that's it. EVERYTHING else in the article seems to be an excuse to drop lots and lots of baseball trivia somewhere because it's just so fun. If there were only one example (after all, only one is needed to clarify a definition), and the article then went on to describe the popularity and history of baseball fans who are obsessed with trivia, I could be persuaded that this is attempting to depict a sociological phenomenon. However, this is not the case. -Markeer 12:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete' grouping of mildly related facts in trivia, although this good trivia compared to the "in popular culture" trivia Corpx 15:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as the title said so, only a trivia-filled article.--JForget 22:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - as per virtually everyone above, and the fact that perhaps half of this information is not trivia, but basic baseball statistical records. - fchd 06:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
