List of Boston Red Sox people

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page is an indiscriminate list of people, radio stations and televisions stations that have been associated with the Boston Red Sox in some way at some point. It unhelpfully includes celebrities with no ties to the organization besides wearing their shirts (half of whom are sourced with fan blogs or dead links), as well as the "Other noteworthy individuals" subsection, which includes no one.

 * Delete. Useless list that is really cruft. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Way too broad in scope-- besides being a place to list every person who ever played for the Boston Red Sox in the last 109 seasons, this one sets out to list "celebrity fans" as well.  I recognize that this has been an article for nearly three years and has probably been doing no harm, but I don't see how this could be maintained without stepping on toes.

 * Delete as a duplicate of information already located in various other articles such as Boston Red Sox all-time roster. Also I have found similar pages at List of Los Angeles Dodgers people and List of New York Yankees people that should also be deleted. Spanneraol (talk) 23:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Scope massively too broad, delete this one and the ones mentioned by Spanneraol.-- Giants27 (  t  |  c  |  r  |  s  ) 17:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Way too broad a subject, same with List of Los Angeles Dodgers people and List of New York Yankees people. Adam Penale (talk)
