List of Nippon Professional Baseball players to hit for the cycle

 * Nominator(s): -- T orsodo g Talk 06:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

When User:Killervogel5 started updating the article "Hitting for the cycle" he wanted to make it more comprehensive beyond just MLB. To help him out I put together a list of NPB cycles. The list was always in good shape but I wasn't able to find a reliable source for the cycle list so I never pursued a FL. I was finally able to find one though so I cleaned it up a bit and put finishing touches on the list. I think it looks good now. Let me know what you think! -- T orsodo g Talk 06:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I just happened to come back to WT:MLB today totally by chance and I'm so happy to hear that you finally got this nominated! Please let me know if and when it passes - I'll come back for a command performance just to get the cycle to featured topic. Cheers. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  22:21, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Support – Looks to me like it meets all 6 FL criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Support - If you ever have time, it would be great if you create articles for all of the players, especially the Hall of Famers. Other than that, great job on the list, and I look forward to seeing more from you! -- K.Annoyomous   (talk)   08:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Support - nicely done. Only a few comments, which isn't enough for me to oppose.
 * In the key- "Player recorded a natural cycle" - this sounds awkward to my ears- "Denotes a natural cycle"?
 * The italic text thing in the Cycles by franchise section seems like it would run afoul of WP:ACCESS - is it even necessary, given that you give the active dates of the franchise?
 * Refs 7,8,11,12,13 are missing the "Kyodo News" publisher bit that you include in 14,15,16
 * Consider archiving your online references via a service like web.archive.org or webcitation.org- online refs have a nasty tendency to move, change, or get deleted years later, leaving the list with dead references.
 * -- Pres N  03:36, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * All fixed! However refs 8, 11, 12 and 13 aren't actually from "Kyodo News" articles. It isn't the publisher of The Japan Times, they are a Japanese news agency similar to the Associated Press. The Japan Times runs articles from them time to time. Should I include the actual publisher of The Japan Times, which is The Japan Times LTD, to alleviate the confusion or is that unnecessary? -- T orsodo g Talk 21:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think so. -- Pres N  23:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Publisher added to Japan Times refs. -- T orsodo g Talk 00:56, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments from Crisco 1492
 * Fumio Fujimura with the Osaka Tigers and Hiromi Matsunaga with the Hankyu/Orix Braves, both with two. - when?
 * I specifically left those dates out as to not clog up the lead with more and more dates. I figured they are in the table so why throw 4 more long dates into the mix if I didn't have to. Thoughts?
 * That season also saw the only instance of cycles occurring on the same day: on July 1, hit by Atsunori Inaba of the Yakult Swallows and Arihito Muramatsu of the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks. - same game or different game?
 * Good point! Different games. I will change to specify.
 * Are the Japanese names presented in Western order (Given, Family) or traditional order (Family, Given)? A note might be worth making. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:24, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Western order. I'll look into this and see what kind of template notes are available.
 * Any hall of famers? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:25, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, but I omitted it for the same reason as the first point. Disagree? -- T orsodo g Talk 01:15, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
