I'm not an expert on how atheletes are covered on
Knowledge, but I would much, much rather see a collected articles on minor-players than individual articles in such cases. I wish this would be done more often with minor athletes where only basic stats are available and are not really notable enough
377:
How are you suggesting that sports related papers/websites that cover minor league baseball are not reliable? Do you have some evidence that such sites have less than accurate reporting? We aren't arguing that these players are worthy of independent articles, but as a collective they are notable as

This is the baseball projects way of avoiding the issue of having too many stubs about lesser professional players. Seems useful to me, even if I would rather they be seperate articles. Definitely should not be included on the team pages as the team pages have no room for such information.
296:- Analogous to the way we treat elementary schools, biographical content of minor league players should be relegated to broad pages like this. Whereas individually these players are not "notable" in Knowledge terms, collectively they are.

These pages are being maintained by the baseball project and are intended to provide summaries of the more notable prospects within each major league organization. The respective team pages are way too long to contain this information.

Unnecessary fan cruft. An ever-changing list of players that is just as easily had on their respective team pages as needed. A partial list of random players throughout an entire professional baseball organization isn't needed.

These articles are (mostly) well sourced, well maintained by the project, and provide information about top prospects who are not presently deserving of their own pages, a subject of great importance to baseball fans.
427:
As a collective the subject is notable. We've used these articles to keep from cluttering
Knowledge with individual articles on minor league prospects, and now that article is up for deletion. No. Not today.

Every single one of these players has coverage in reliable sources and the subject of the Red Sox minor league system certainly has plenty of coverage. Not trivial at all.
