25 home run club

I assume this means all baseball players who have ever hit 25 home runs? Such a list is both unnotable and nearly totally indiscriminate. TallNapoleon (talk) 04:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect - the 25 home run club can be mentioned in 50 home run club. LinguistAtLarge • Msg 05:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I was going to suggest userfication but after seeing the creator's talk page there's a long history of xx-home run club articles that have been speedily deleted. OlEnglish (talk) 05:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, pointless list, would include hundreds of players. NawlinWiki (talk) 11:44, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the nominator points out, the article doesn't make it clear what the list of names is about. The article "50 home run club" is about twenty-five major league baseball players who have hit 50 home runs in a season. Twenty-five home runs is a pretty good achievement, but as Nawlin points out, there would hundreds of people on that list. For a frame of reference, last season alone there were 47 players who had hit 25 or more home runs. Mandsford (talk) 17:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Easy delete. 1)Lou Gehrig is spelled wrong 2) hundreds of players have hit 25 home runs, not just 20 players who almost all happened to play in this century. --Giants27 T C 00:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, completely unmaintainable and un-notable list. For future reference, however, something being spelled wrong is not in any way a rationale for deletion. It may show a unfamiliarity with or flippant attitude to a subject, but these aren't reasons to delete an article either. SMSpivey (talk) 02:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That was meant to be a joke, but the second point is real.--Giants27 T C 03:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- My bad then! I suppose I assume non-sarcasm at AfD, usually. SMSpivey (talk) 06:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete indiscrimate list; why 25? not 26? or 24? - there seems to be no rationale for the choice, so seems to be WP:SYNTH as well. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not mention if this is 25 HR in a career, season, month, postseason, etc. Unless original author can quantify this, I say delete. And even if the original author could quantify it, article is still unsourced and could easily be incorporated into another HR record article (I believe 50 home run club has been mentioned).
