1994 Bat Burglary

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A relatively minor sports news event that doesn't seem to be notable enough to have an article of its own. A brief mention in related articles (e.g. 1994 Cleveland Indians season, Albert Belle, and Jason Grimsley) should suffice. There are also concerns about WP:BLP, especially regarding Grimsley's involvement: the article title characterizes the incident as a "burglary" which doesn't seem to be supported by most of the sources. *** Crotalus *** 14:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Weak Keep Enough reliable sources, and the topic is independent enough of all three suggested articles to keep. "Burglary" can be edited to more neutral language. --Glantrischmozzle (talk) 04:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep For many of the reasons stated above, plus the Pine Tar Incident- which is similar in stature to this story- also maintains its independent article.-RomeW (talk) 07:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
