Select Baseball

Unsourced article about unpopular game. Alexius08 (talk) 02:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Basically a dictionary definition for youth baseball, which is covered in articles on Little League, AAU, etc. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, agree with the above. Only claim to notability is a vague mention of being "very popular". No sources cited. J I P  | Talk 17:59, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Rewrite The term is notable, and with a better article, would be worthy of a keep. However, as written, this article is not it. Select Baseball is not simply a term for youth baseball, it is a subsection of youth baseball where a team is formed under a special coach or coaches (e.g., a professional) to play a higher caliber of baseball than what would ordinarily be offered, to travel, and/or to get additional instruction. Select teams are generally financed by parents and cost a great deal more for the child to play on than a standard youth team. Eauhomme (talk) 05:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have rewritten the article now in an attempt to rescue it. It is not sourced, since I don't have time to research it. I was a youth baseball umpire for 15 years, and it is written from that perspective. Please feel free to do whatever is needed to improve it, source it, rescue it, whatever.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 13:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete This is pure spam. No claim of importance or significance for this for-profit youth sports scheme.  The creator also inserted a reference in another article and these are his only edits.  I have removed the spam links from both articles until it is deleted. Drawn Some (talk) 13:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
