List of Major League Baseball players with unidentified given names

 * Notified: Seattle (inactive), Bison X, WikiProject Baseball, WikiProject African diaspora

I am nominating this featured list for removal because it fails the criterion of comprehensiveness. The Negro leagues were reclassified/recognized by MLB as major leagues in December 2020 and its players are therefore Major League Baseball players. This list, however, contains only players from the white major leagues. There are over 250 Negro leaguers with no first name given by Baseball-Reference. This list either needs to be exponentially expanded or the list (and its title) need to narrow its scope to exclude players from the non-white leagues which does not seem right. Dennis C.

 * Delist I don't think this page even passes WP:NLIST since there's nothing covering the subject as a whole. It's just a way to include people who played one or two games and were so forgettable no one wrote their whole name down without having individual articles for them.

 * Delist. I agree with the rationale provided by the nominator. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:49, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delist per above; if we have to source the entire thing to b-ref player pages, that is problematic. Hog Farm Talk 18:06, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delist Leaving aside the lack of Black players, unclear to me how a lack of a record of a baseball player's first name is a notable set. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
