New York Yankees Conspiracy Theories

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research/personal essay/speculation, see WP:NOR. Author removed prod notice without comment. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:23, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete personal essay. No sources in the aspect that this "conspiracy theory" exists. The Weak Willed 15:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/Delete - With regret. Actually enjoyed the piece found it fun to read and informative.  As to original research I would have to disagree.  This information is easily verified through 3rd party independent sources.  All it is stating is the party affiliation of the particular President in office during the year the team won the championship.  In fact, the opening sentence could probably be rolled into one of the New York Yankee many pieces here on Wikipedia.  As to way to delete, as a stand-alone article, it has to go.  How do you expand on it :-)?   Thanks ShoesssS Talk 15:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What third party sources? Joe Chill (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe any grade school history book will give you a listing of the U.S. Presidents and the years in office. Likewise any sports history book will give a listing of the winners of the World series and the year they won.  Comparing the two does not constitute original research.

 * What third party sources for the conspiracy theories? Joe Chill (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest….I didn’t see any conspiracy theory in the article that need verification. I saw, just a synopsis and summary of when the Yankees won and who was in office.  Did I overlook something? ShoesssS Talk 20:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say that combining those two things would be original research when they have no connection. I think that we might all be missing something about what the heck the article is besides the creator. If any content was merged, we would need sources to verify the content before moving it into the article instead of those forums. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with you merging it into The New York Yankees page during the AFD if it was verified. Joe Chill (talk) 20:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * AND - did you overlook my delete opinion. I agree, that the piece as a stand alone, cannot be supported and should be deleted.  What I had a contention with is the nomination on deletion as based on orginal research.  In that area, I still do not see it.  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 01:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Article does not articulate conspiracy theory; therefore this is just a random correlation statement. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
