[edit] New York Yankees Payroll

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Unverifiable speculation and estimation, and seems to be original research as well. Canley 13:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and merge, if so desired, any verified info into New York Yankees. It might make an interesting section there. PJM 13:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There are sites (USA Today, or ESPN, for example) which maintain this information for all teams and keep it updated when the roster changes, as well as providing historical numbers. That's a great function for a newspaper, which reacts well to changing information, but horrible for an encyclopedia. Fan1967 14:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and merge per PJM. FWIW, this is not original research; this sort of thing can be verified. Sports generate massive statistics, most of which falls under trivia. The Yankees' payroll is one of the most salient facts about the team, though. Smerdis of Tlön 14:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nom. content has no place in a encyclopedia Caveat lector 18:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
