Association of American Baseball Research

Granted this is from Japan but my searches found absolutely nothing and the official website listed at Japan Wiki is now closed so I suspect this rather unknown group is gone with no evidence of ever having third-party coverage. SwisterTwister  talk  00:51, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The group definitely exists and did publish a few books a decade ago, but nothing since then. I cannot find records of their journals Ballpark and Dugout in the National Diet Library (though the titles might be different). There are reports on Researchmap that state that the group still meets , and the vice-president Suzumura Yusuke (who runs the Researchmap section) does get occasionally quoted in the Japanese sports press as the vice president of this group , , , , etc. But I can't find anything like significant third party reliable sources on them and their activities. That does not enable us to either verify notability or to even verify the content of this article. Michitaro (talk) 05:05, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable association, only source is their own website, no in-depth coverage of the asscociation, only mentioned when their president makes statements, credited as "Fumihiro Fujisawa, President of the Association of American Baseball Research", fails WP:ORGDEPTH Kraxler (talk) 17:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
