List of Major League Baseball free agents 2007-2008


What does this article do? All it does is lists the free agents for this year, something that can easily be found in mlb.com, si.com, yahoo, and many other sites. Not encyclopedic, violates WP:NOT and WP:NOT Delete This is a Secret account 01:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't think this meets the NOT criteria above, the fact that something can be found elsewhere is not really relevant (no wikilinks on those sites), seems okay under Lists  Citi Cat   ♫ 03:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly does not fall under any of the 5 items under WP:NOT info... contrary to popular belief that section isn't for any information you claim is "indiscriminate", but only for the 5 types of collections it specifies. Who's a free agent in what year is of long term importance and interest. --W.marsh 04:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: Important info in the baseball world. Doesn't fall under NOT.  Well organized list IMO. - Rjd0060 05:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per RJD and W.marsh. Let's also note that "you can find it somewhere else" really isn't a valid delete reason. --SmashvilleBONK! 18:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. After thinking about it for a little while, I realized this would actually be a very useful list. Nice idea that I wouldn't have thought of. Wizardman  01:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm I noticed that lists from 2005 and 2006 were created before, and they redirect to this article, I don't mind a list of current free agents if they get redirected as soon as the new group comes next year, so I support a rename to Current Major League Free Agents or something like that.

 * Afraid we'll run out of kilobytes? Having a lot of information is a good thing. --W.marsh 01:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
