The result of the debate was no consensus

Not proposed, one stub, and the category curiously has various boxing categories as its parents (a copy and paste error?). Though I can see the thinking behind the creation of this, I doubt its usefulness. Way over 90% of the world's baseballers are likely to be Americans - the sport is virtually unknown outside a handful of countries. And baseball bio-stubs are already being split along role-related lines outfielder, pitcher, etc). I don't really see that this would bee a useful split. Ironically, I could see logic behind, say, a Japan-baseball-bio-stub, since the few that aren't from the US do stand out a bit more from the crowd. Delete. Grutness...wha?  03:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep While the majority of baseball bio's will be no doubt be Usonians, there are quite a few from other countries in the Americas, enough so that unlike Amfoot-bio-stub and its descendants, it is not useful to assume by default that players are Usonian by default.  There are over 200 articles in Category:Dominican Republic baseball players and Category:Venezuelan baseball players and over 100 in Category:Canadian baseball players and Category:Cuban baseball players.  (East Asian countries are probably underrepresented due to their players not usually playing in the U.S. leagues.) No objection also adding position based splits of this as well.

 * I stand corrected - I'd forgotten about Caribbean baseballers, and some of them may well be viable (especially since we tend to split Puerto Rico from the US "proper"). A split by nationality and role may be useful after all... Grutness...wha?  05:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strange, my earlier comment seems to have vanished, all but the edit summary. Assuming it doesn't rematerialise...  If we're going to keep this (which we might as well), I suggest we also immediately create US- versions of the by-position types, since populating this directly would be painful and counterproductive.

 * I was gonna say keep, but I noticed that they were already split by decade, which means there's no reason to keep this. Delete. That being said, the category could stay and hold all the subcategories, but there's enough categories that do that.-- Wizardman 01:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
