156:--Andrew, I agree with you. The Clemente article has plenty, the two articles have nothing on the website. Moreover, the NYT article does not support the claim made in the article, and the author (it's an opinion piece) does not even agree that the number should be retired. It seems to me like this is a promo-piece meant to let the website ride piggy-back on the reputation of Clemente and the very selective reading of two newspaper articles. So, in the end, once you start pruning out of the article what's not relevant (the Clemente section, which is covered elsewhere) or what's not verified, what you have left is an article that says, there's this website and this is what they propose. Delete.
235:- The Roberto Clemente article already mentions in a paragraph the movement to retire the jersey without specifically mentioning anything like this website, so that's sufficient. However, redirecting "Retire21" or "Retire 21 in baseball" or some such wording to the Roberto Clemente article isn't out of the question.

The subject of this article could be two things. It could be about a webpage, retire21.org, as the title clearly indicates. It could also be about the proposal to retire the jersey #21 in MLB in honor of
Roberto Clemente. If the article is about the former, I believe it clearly fails
