The Explosion of Latino Players in MLB

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

A curiously inconsistent little essay, completely unsourced and stagnant for months. Badger Drink (talk) 10:53, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - violates the No original research policy.-- Beloved  Freak  13:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Rewrite Clearly WP:OR, unsourced, very incomplete. An article of this sort needs to go back farther than a couple years and explore why there are more Latino players. Eauhomme (talk) 13:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. An essay like this must have a lot of references or else it's just WP:OR.  —Wknight94 (talk) 14:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. Clearly it's OR but the topic is notable. My main concern is that a comprehensive search may find it to be copyvio. In the absence of any evidence of that I'd still like to see it properly referenced before I'd be entirely comfortable. Debate (talk) 14:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I was conflicted, as a name change and a complete, fully referenced rewrite could turn this into a quality article. However, I soon realized that deleting it and leting that new article with proper references and no original research would accomplish the same goal... --Jayron32. talk . contribs  17:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not an article. JuJube (talk) 20:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As per previous comments. Personally, I was amused by the title, because it suggests spontaneous combustion (oh no, A-Rod just blew up!). Ecoleetage (talk) 22:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sammy Sosa, would you please take the field? ...ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Sosa has learnt the value of not being seen. --Badger Drink (talk) 10:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
