Curse of Bob Short

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Either not notable or needs a rename. For example, the ESPN source doesn't even mention Bob Short, while the first source, Defector doesn't mention a "curse". Looking for better sources gave only 6 Google Hits in total (!), which for such a high profile sport in the US is ridiculously low. Fram (talk) 08:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete as a lack of reliable sources demonstrates there is no notable topic for a "curse of Bob Short". – Muboshgu (talk) 14:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete The Rangers are the very definition of an 'okay' baseball team and the 2011 team needed better pitching in that Game 6 situation; it has nothing to do with their former owner or the move of their franchise, and this is all fanlore. It's more like 'the curse of mediocre ownership through decades' (and really bad contracts) than one guy's curse.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 16:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * After close comment two months later Even if there was proof of the curse, it now no longer applies...did I un-curse the Rangers?! 😂  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:52, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
