Non-notable baseball statistic. Natg 19 (talk) 07:49, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Unless you can provide a better rationale for deletion, Keep. The article is sourced for arguments against it. Game-winning RBI is a very notable "non-notable baseball statistic," which belies your rationale. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 15:07, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Besides game-winning RBI being an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS situation, this was an officially tracked statistic from MLB, so it is definitely notable. CERA is a sabermetric stat that is rarely used. There are some refs in the article, but this sabermetric statistic does not seem particularly notable or widely used. Natg 19 (talk) 18:35, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep, as there are two sources right there in the article, unless I am missing something? jp×g 18:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Although it's not an especially useful statistic, it meets WP:GNG; besides the sources already in the article, it has been written about in the Chicago Tribune, The Hardball Times, and the book Baseball Between the Numbers. Hatman31 (talk) 20:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge entire article into Earned run average. Very little material, and not notable on its own, but there's enough sourced material here to make a tidy section in Earned run average. JimKaatFan (talk) 20:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per GNG. Besides what is already in the article, there was an extensive discussion of the concept in at least one of Bill James' Baseball Abstracts.  Notability is not limited to on line sources. Rlendog (talk) 02:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Due to sources highlighted by Hatman31. MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:03, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
