[edit] Top 1000 home run hitters

Unencyclopedic at this scope and largely superfluous. There already exists a list of Top 500 home run hitters of all time on Wikipedia. This list does not add any notable information that is not already available on that list. RPIRED 21:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete no need to duplicate. Rename Top 500 home run hitters of all time into Top home run hitters (and have "top 500" subsection, if one wishes). Wikipedia does not really need sensationalist article titles. `'mikka (t) 21:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Actually, List of leading MLB home run hitters, since those are the only ones covered. ~ trialsanderrors 21:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom.--SweetNeo85 21:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. From the lines at the bottom of the table, it looks like it plans on including any active player that has ever hit a home run, and any inactive player with more than 50, which is not cohesive with its title. Listmania is unnecessary. -- NORTH ^talk 08:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - How is a list of the 501st through 1000th homerun hitters even remotely notable? The top 500 ought to suffice... this is listcruft to an extreme. --Vengeful Cynic 00:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete. I would think that the top 100 or 200 should be enough. Plenty of the top 1000 home run hitters will not and should not be in the Hall of Fame. Jonswift 05:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
