Not encyclopedia worthy enough (some events) - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 08:12, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am nominating the following all "<date> in baseball" articles because of the same exact reason. (If someone would like to help me put of the AfD tags I'd appreciate it... putting up about 160~180 tags isn't fun ._.) - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 08:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete way too specific Computerjoe's talk 09:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as per above. Truly important events can go into the day of the year, like October 2, articles. I suggest a mass nomination, without putting the AfD tags on all the articles or listing the articles in the nomination. Instead, just link to Category:Dates in baseball. It looks like there are actually 271 articles and one template, not 160~180 articles. -- Kjkolb 11:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete them all. Seriously, most of these events aren't very important, and all the articles are way too specific. I voted on September 8th in baseball last month, and it got deleted. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 11:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete them all. Or transwiki to baseball.wikia.com -- GWO
• Delete only this one. Some dates actually do have a lot of historical significance to baseball. But not this one. 11kowrom 00:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Transwiki per GWO. Some dates do have history, but those incidents that are of historical note are already in xxxx in baseball. The date specific articles can go to baseball.wikia.org. Deleting them outright would be unfortunate. Resolute 04:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Part of a well-established series of articles. Cherry picking individual dates is not helpful. - EurekaLott 06:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete All This is not the Baseball Wikipedia. This is the kind of thing you actually see as filler in the sports pages of the newspaper, so why should iit be wasting space here? This is basically list cruft. Cheesehead 1980 13:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, per EurekaLott, unless we're deleting all the dates at Category:Dates in baseball. Medtopic 23:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all in Category:Dates in baseball. The same principle applies to all dates as to this one. Notable events go under relevant articles. I cannot believe anyone wants to know what happened in baseball on a specific date. BlueValour 20:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per above - way too specific. No other sport has anything like this, and there is no need for it - any major events will appear on the recent sporting events page, and then you can just go back to a specific date to find a page which serves the same purpose as this one.

• Delete per Blue (consistent with the idea that all such articles ought to be deleted) and Daniel.Bryant, amongst others. Joe 19:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Transwiki if possible, but, in the end, Delete. A large portion of the events aren't notable, but there's a lot of historical interest contained in these and it would be a shame if all 271 pages of it were lost. -- Scientizzle 20:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Yikes. These should indeed be Transwikied and not deleted, but thats a lot of copying. But I don't mind that. I wanted to close this AfD, and would have been willing to do the copying, but the template Template:This Date is esoteric and a copy of it to wikia.baseball.com results in incorrect appearance. I'm afraid somebody who can understand and deal with that will be needed here. Sorry. But message me if you close as Tranwiki, if you can fix the template I'll do the copying.

• Transwiki per above. Stubbleboy 18:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Transwiki all per above. MarkBuckles 08:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
