Curse of Keith Hernandez

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

A blogger coined a phrase and a beat writer went with it. There is zero news coverage about this. There are blogs that mention this, but in reference to how the Mets are cursed, not the Cardinals. This fails GNG. Muboshgu (talk) 14:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Note I looked on the talk page before initiating the AfD and saw nothing. Now that I created it I see a successful AfD and a successful speedy deletion.  Now I'd like to update my request to speedy delete and salt the earth so this isn't recreated again. --Muboshgu (talk) 14:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete or Smerge (Selectively merge) to the team article. Meme created by a blogger and remarked on by the local paper, mentioned by sports writers in subsequent years . This is hardly a "notable superstition" but more of a bit of humor on the part of a few sportswriters. Rather than a standalone article for every phrase related to an article subject such as the ball team in question, it seems more encyclopedic to briefly mention it in the article about the team. Presently, Hernandez is not even mentioned as a player in the article on the team. Edison (talk) 16:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't appear to be any more notable now then when we last AFDed it in 2006. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt per previous two unanimous AfD's. There is no indication that the notability of this subject has not changed since 2006.  Snotty Wong   chat 19:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
