List of championships won by the New York Yankees
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

List is a complete repetition of the information found in the New York Yankees main page infobox. —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:28, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect Content fork that can readily be covered in the List of New York Yankees seasons and already is. -DJSasso (talk)
 * Delete - A list of succession boxes with almost no text and no sources. I would say merge with New York Yankees, but it's already there. Kinston eagle (talk) 11:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - wow! Did this one ever hide under the radar for some time! Completely redundant to New York Yankees, List of New York Yankees seasons and List of World Series champions. Resolute 14:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, I nom'd it for deletion almost two years ago. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Redundant article; subject material already covered in other articles consistent with established article hierarchy and structure of WP:BASEBALL.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep no policy-based reason for deletion articulated by nominator or other delete !voters. While it may overlap and/or be redundant to other articles, it's not a content fork, and presents in one place notable, encyclopedic content.  If anything, if this level of detail is already present in New York Yankees, then it should be removed from the article and a reference to this list be inserted, per summary style expectations. Jclemens (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually it is a fork as per Content_forking. This subject is already well covered at List of New York Yankees seasons which is how this sort of information is usually presented for championships of teams in many sports and many leagues. This is just a duplication of a much better done page. Personally I would have just redirected it myself as opposed to putting it up for Afd but now that it is, its a clear delete. -DJSasso (talk) 15:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as an unnecessary content fork. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on further discussion below, I see no problem with a redirect – Muboshgu (talk) 17:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - redundant to the information in List of New York Yankees seasons, except for the prior and succeeding (non-Yankee) champions, which isn't particularly relevant to the subject (and covered by more relevant lists for those who want that information, such as the World Champions list). No objection to redirecting to List of New York Yankees seasons though. Rlendog (talk) 16:08, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Content fork of List of New York Yankees seasons. No prejudice to WP:SPINOUT later if significant prose about the championship seasons was unfit for List of New York Yankees seasons or History of the New York Yankees. As it is, there is no prose currently in this article.  As an improvement, the "Postseason" column of List of New York Yankees seasons could be sortable to easily group all the championship seasons.—Bagumba (talk) 19:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect Change per Jenks24 suggestion below. We at least WP:PRESERVE the title, a valid search term.  Otherwise delete.  Do not keep.—Bagumba (talk) 17:19, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as a FORK per nom, DJSasso, and Bagumba. There is no reason to keep this overly-detailed, unsourced fancruft. (FWIW, I am a native of The Bronx.) Bearian (talk) 20:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article per Muboshgu....William 23:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Why not redirect to List of New York Yankees seasons? It seems like a plausible search term. Jenks24 (talk) 22:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above I have no problem with that. My delete is more a case of the article as a standalone has to go. -DJSasso (talk) 16:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Now that the redirect suggestion has been mentioned, I'm fine with that as well. Currently, three people have stated they wouldn't mind redirecting the article, so should I withdraw this article from AFD now or wait until there are more votes in favour of redirecting? —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:08, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Since we are here, we might as well get a formal consensus. In the future, you can be bold and just move it or place Movenotice on the page and discuss on talk page.—Bagumba (talk) 17:14, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I could support a redirect too, but I've unfortunately seen where AfDs are (IMO incorrectly) closed as "no consensus" when it seemed to me the consensus was to do anything but keep.—Bagumba (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll support a redirect also, though honestly I would keep the article if it's rewritten to discuss the championships the Yankees won in detail instead of navigation boxes. The subject area clearly meets GNG, considering how many books, and newspaper articles discuss simply championships that the Yankees won and comparing those teams against each other.

 * Redirect to List of New York Yankees seasons, as per Jenks24. AutomaticStrikeout 16:55, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
