No need for a separate page for the information included. Delete and/or merge is necessary. Jmlk 1  7  04:27, 8 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: It's basically a content fork from List of Tampa Bay Rays managers (though this article was created first) aside from the very little information about the owners and GMs at the bottom of the article. I didn't even realize this until now despite having both articles on my watchlist. Tampabay721 (talk) 04:44, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article seems to have more information than the other List so I'd keep this one and then redirect the Managers only list. Spanneraol (talk) 12:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Tampa Bay Rays managers as above. Resolute 14:52, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Tampa Bay Rays managers. -DJSasso (talk) 14:55, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge as content fork. Carrite (talk) 15:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Question Does anyone think there's too much information in the article's intro? That's why I voted delete rather than merge. I'll change my vote if no one else believes so. I didn't think anyone would vote merge. Tampabay721 (talk) 17:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You voted delete because it potentially needs cleanup? What? Vodello (talk) 14:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I voted delete because I didn't think combining both intros was necessary, and that's basically all that would come out of a merge. Tampabay721 (talk) 20:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It would also preserve the GM & Owner info that is there. Spanneraol (talk) 23:02, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't think that would be appropriate for an article on managerial history, but after taking a look at all the other teams' articles, I see there's precedent, so I'll change to merge based on that revelation. Tampabay721 (talk) 23:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
