Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit ° history ° watch ° refresh) See the discussion of redundant articles in the Discussion. My recommendation is that the two WP "articles" be deleted and that we let the List of baseball jargon do its work as a glossary since the term leadoff hitter is appropriate there in any case.--Mack2 (talk) 13:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant articles

First, there is a List of baseball jargon entry for "leadoff hitter." That belongs there and provides a good definition with two usages.

Second, there is this WP article "Leadoff hitter," which has an inadequate definition, then a list of historical leadoff hitters (a marginal list-making exercise, IMO).

Third, there is another WP article, "Lead off," which has an OK definition but it's nothing more than that.

My recommendation is that the two WP "articles" be deleted and that we let the List of baseball jargon do its work as a glossary since the term leadoff hitter is appropriate there in any case.--Mack2 (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
