Major League Baseball All-Star Games in Pittsburgh

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

If Major League Baseball All-Star Games in the Los Angeles Area violates WP:NOTDIR, then so does Major League Baseball All-Star Games in Pittsburgh. I say if one stays, they both stay. . . if one is deleted, they both should be deleted. --Andyhi18 (talk) 01:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This is not WP:LISTCRUFT; see my explanation on Articles for deletion/Major League Baseball All-Star Games in the Los Angeles Area. Change to delete. There are individual articles on those games already. Pointless to have this. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 13:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete If the explanation for why this isn't listcruft is that it's Pittsburgh rather than the Los Angeles area, I'm not convinced. In both this and the other article, there not much  information imparted other than that we have links to articles about the All-Star games that were hosted in those areas.  Short version-- the game was played in Pittsburgh in '44, '59, '74, '94 and '06.  There is some trivia that's relevant to Pittsburgh itself, some mildly interesting a bicentennial celebration in 1959, and Pittsburghers singing along to O Canada, and some not (the Pirates are "the first team that has not moved to have hosted the game in three different stadiums").

 * Delete At first I was thinking of a "weak keep" vote, but I just don't see anything so special about having an ASG in Pittsburgh that necessitates a page that simply lists the links with a brief description of each game. --Muboshgu (talk) 20:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Was just about to AFD this. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete It's superfluous at best. Not to knock Pittsburgh or anything, but I never understood what was so special about the games being in Pittsburgh that it necessitated a separate article. What about the games played in New York or Chicago or St. Louis? A similar article with Los Angeles as the focus was also recently deleted. Bottom line: I don't see anything this article (or any article about ASGs in a particular area) could contain that could differentiate it from the individual game articles. --Highway99 (talk) 03:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per reasons stated above. Darwin&#39;s Bulldog (talk) 03:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with everyone else. I don't see what is so special about Pittsburgh that they deserve a special article. This article seems to elevate Pittsburgh and/or the Pirates above all other baseball teams and markets/cities.  It was probably made by someone who loves the Pirates or Pittsburgh and has no special reason for people outside of that area. Crd721 (talk) 22:27, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
