List of sports similar to baseball

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced list of things someone thinks are related to some other thing, also mixes real and fictioonal. WP:NOT. Guy (Help!) 08:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, too loosely defined. If a person wanted to, they could theoretically justify the inclusion of any sport on this list which used a ball as being "similar" to baseball. It has the potential to be a dumping ground for OR. Redfarmer (talk) 10:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:NOT - Ravichandar 11:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Too loosely defined, and it's mostly original research to boot. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 12:28, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Violates WP:NOR at the very least and arguably other policies as well.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 13:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into the see also section of baseball, though delete would be fine as well.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete violates WP:NOT. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. What criteria determined which sports are "similar" to baseball? Rsazevedo msg 23:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikify per below. This can be sourced and improved, but it would take some time.  Not that the topic isn't encyclopedic-- the Oxford University Press did a reference book on the sports of the world, and all these are on there-- (classified as "bat and ball games", except for kickball) but this is one of those useless "indiscriminate lists" with nothing but blue-links.  While a detailed explanation, of how rounders and baseball compare and contrast, is too much information for an article, a few sentences wouldn't hurt.  This one grounds out. Mandsford (talk) 03:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment:Appears to be WP:OR. The Phrase "similar to baseball" itself is loosely defined and personal opinion. There may be people who may feel that it is not so. - Ravichandar 06:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Note to closing administrator. If the consensus is delete, please move it to my user space.  I don't have time to provide any references right now but may consider working on this in the future.
