List of Major League Baseball win leaders by birthplace

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While interesting, I don't really see how this would be appropriate as a stand-alone list for the site. No sources that specifically note what makes the two combined variables notable. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:34, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I just nominated the same list, only for home run hitters, earlier today. I didn't see this one, or else I would've nominated it too. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Dumb trivia, nothing more, nothing found to support the notability of winners by state/province/country. Tarc (talk) 13:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom -- no reason for this to exist. --Coemgenus 13:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - As it stands now, almost entirely OR. Nor do I think that most wins by state of birth is particularly notable.  I might be persuaded that the list of win leaders by country of birth is appropriate, if it could be properly sourced. Rlendog (talk) 19:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Very strong keep - Do you people really believe that it's "no big deal" to be the winningest pitcher from a particular country, or from a particular state? There is nothing "trivial" about this.  As for sourcing of the winningest pitchers by country, state, province or territory, these results all come from www.baseball-reference.com, the preeminent source of baseball statistics on the Internet, which site allows you to see lists (with full career statistics) of all players born in each jurisdiction.  All a person needs to know to figure out who is the winningest pitcher born in Cuba is to know that 229 is higher than 194 (and thus Luis Tiant, not Dolf Luque, has the most career wins for a pitcher born in Cuba).

 * You need sources to demonstrate how wins and birthplace are related, not just the list itself. If people are interested, they can look it up in baseball-reference.com.— Chris! c / t 19:46, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
