[edit] Minnesota Twins: All-Time Team
Relisting (someone tell me if I'm doing it wrong) for the following reason:
This was originally a list as published on thebaseballpage.com. The link to that source no longer works. When I checked it, I saw that thebaseballpage.com has modified their choices and added new players -- see [1]. Why should WP be a mirror site for one webpage's opinion of the best Twins players of all time? NawlinWiki 21:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete no context, no sources, no shoes, no article. Ziggurat 23:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I completely agree with NawlinWiki. It's just some web site's view of who the best players on a certain team were. Even if this was the Twins' or the MLB's official view, it still probably wouldn't be notable enough for an article. A league-wide all-decade team would be acceptable; one would imagine that a team's best players would be summarized in that team's article. -- Kicking222 00:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

What, no Johan Santana?Err, I mean one site's POV does not a Wikipedia article make. BryanG(talk) 23:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC) - Delete. The list itself is not encylopedic. At most put a link to the live page on the Minnesota Twins article. ScottW 00:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minnesota Twins: All-Time Team
Is this an "official" all-time team list or just someone's opinion? I assume the latter, so delete. But if this is from a notable, credible source, attribute and merge with Minnesota Twins. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m ] 22:05, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete No idea what this is about. Groeck 22:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge It's "about" what the title says. Has a source... All right then, fine. Delete it, jerks. Bojanglesmn 23:10, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- This looks as it has some sort of source from the baseballpage which seems to have lists for other teams see [2]. Would be better in own space linked on Minnesota Twins page. I don't know whether thay have released their own list but we have other list of notable persons or things according to reputable sources and this appears to me to meet this category.Keep Capitalistroadster 23:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete There's no reason that wikipedia should host "fantasy league" lists compiled by fansites (other All-Time Team lists were created by governing bodies of sports leagues or respected panels of sports writers). Move the citation link over to Minnesota Twins. Anetode 23:29, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, with link to The Baseball Page in Minnesota Twins. Any team with Kirby Puckett on it has my respect, but it just isn't an article on its own. Lord Bob 01:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, per Capitalistroadster and WP:NPOV. Kappa 01:43, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Alright, so how about if it was just moved to the very bottom of the Minnesota Twins page, and this one is deleted? Better idea? Bojanglesmn 03:24, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Although I do like the idea, if memory serves me right merge and delete (which this amounts to) is not a valid vote because the history is lost. Although we could merge the team list with Minnesota Twins and have the all-time team redirect there. I would still rather see it deleted since I don't think this inherently POV all-time team should be kept on an encyclopaedia, but a merge-n-redirect wouldn't make me unhappy. Lord Bob 17:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Not in this case. The "article" is simply a list of names. Simple lists are not copyrightable under U.S. law. Quale 07:00, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
