List Pages of Minor League Players Should Be Seperated

The pages that contain the information on the minor league players such as on the Miami Marlins minor league players should be separated into their own pages. The lists don't even include all the players in the minor-league system and some players are still listed, who are no longer part of the organization. The pages are too long and should be made into separate player pages. Rosters are already listed on the pages of the minor league teams. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 21:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Minor league players who are notable (following WP:GNG) do have their own pages. ie. Jordan Walker. Individuals who aren't notable won't have their own pages as they would fail the GNG. It certainly looks like that page could use a clean up though! Skipple ☎ 21:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Seeing this brought up means that it's probably time for the annual cleanup of minor league ballplayer redirects - I've retargeted Jose Salas and Draft:Kyle Nicolas to the correct minor league roster pages for their new teams, and have opened Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 March 28#Robert_Matthew_Montgomery for a guy who hasn't played pro ball since 2014. Josh Hart (baseball) looks like it needs to go to, although the old history there might make an RFD awkward. Hog Farm _Talk 21:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that is what I meant, thanks. Obviously it makes no sense to make pages for non-notable players as it would just be deleted. I'll work on seperatingnotable players/cleaning up the minor league pages. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 15:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments are used by Misplaced Pages editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Mass-TfD college baseball navboxes nomination

For those in this WikiProject interested: Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 April 11#College baseball class-/position-specific award navboxes. Thank you. SportsGuy789 (talk) 04:01, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Requested article

Larry LeGrande - a Negro leagues star (1957-59) who died recently (April 13). Sources for notability: I Found Someone to Play With (a full book on him), Roanoke.com, Negro Leagues Museum, Roanoke Tribune, Roanoke Times full-page feature story (p2), another Roanoke Times feature story (p2). Would qualify to be put on the main page in the ITN section, as it was first reported two days ago. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

He's notable. I started his bio. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:30, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

This Day in Baseball links

I reverted a contribution from User:TDINBB and wanted to bring it up here as I don't have time to address all of the contribs at the moment. I would link to the user's contribs, but my new fancy computer won't let me paste a simple URL without changing it to a plain text description (the computer changes the copied URL to "User contributions for TDINBB - Misplaced Pages" - haha). I don't think this Wordpress-powered site is appropriate for the External Links sections of our articles but I thought I would ask here. See the history of Jesse Burkett for today's example. Thanks.

Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#WordPress.com says WordPress.com is a blog hosting service that runs on the WordPress software. As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the blog is used for uncontroversial self-descriptions. WordPress.com should never be used for claims related to living persons; this includes interviews, as even those cannot be authenticated. I'd be against including it. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:02, 24 April 2023 (UTC) EDIT: I just clicked on one of the TDINBB links and oh man it's bad. It loads slowly and looks to have copy/pasted its header from B Ref (at least the one I clicked). There doesn't appear to be any benefit from adding it and there's a downside to it. Plus the username makes it appear to be self-promotion. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:07, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Astros–Braves rivalry

A new article titled Astros–Braves rivalry was created by @Ralphierce and added to the list of rivalries for the Atlanta Braves. I have removed it since there's not enough coverage (local or national) to list those two teams having a significant rivalry worth noting in the article. I'm not sure what the rational is for rivalry articles, but that one seems to be on shaky ground. I haven't nominated it for deletion because I wanted to ask here first. What do y'all think? Nemov (talk) 12:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Not significant. They haven't been in the same division in nearly 30 years, haven't been in the same league in almost 10, and have met once in the World Series. We have to stop with these junk articles pairing two random teams that are not independently notable. oknazevad (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

I feel a little bad about taking it straight to AfD, but we should probably take it to AfD. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
