Major Leaguers Who Played for Penn State
There is nothing notable about Major League Baseball Players who played for Penn State. It is essentially a pointless list of links. joturner 23:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as nominator. joturner 23:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep It is not notable until someone has to do a research paper or something and comes here looking for information. As the author of this page, I think it should be kept. --Alex 23:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as listcruft. (Are there per-school categories/lists for notable alumni in general? If so, these should be added to that/on there.)  And no one writing a serious research paper should be using Wikipedia as a primary source. -- Kinu  t /c  01:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good list and not any different than the lists of famous alumni that we have for almost every school on the site. If this is pointless than so is every one of those lists. At worst we should be talking merge, but since the Penn State Pro football list is huge, baseball probably should stay as is. -- JJay 02:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, but add the blue links to List of Pennsylvania State University people. This is exactly what that sort of list is for. -- Grev 03:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The same essential result could probably be achieved by categorizing those players under something like Category:Penn State baseball players (that might not be the best name; I'm not familiar with category conventions). Ardric47 03:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * keep. A useful piece of information. Trivial lists of this type will plague wikipedia until it will be upgraded with database capabilities. Mukadderat 03:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it is encyclopedic and useful in a way that categories aren't: it can provide information about dates/years/who played with whom at Penn State, etc. Carlossuarez46 00:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
