I'm nominating several more "List of [MLB team] people" pages after they were brought to my attention in the AfD for List of Boston Red Sox people. Again, these pages are indiscriminate lists of people, radio stations and televisions stations that have been associated with their respective teams in some way at some point. They unhelpfully include groundskeepers, celebrities with no ties to the organization besides wearing their shirts, as well a "Other noteworthy individuals" subsections, which sometimes include no one.
Other pages being condensed in this AfD:
- List of Atlanta Braves people
- List of Chicago White Sox people
- List of Los Angeles Dodgers people
- List of New York Mets people
- List of New York Yankees people

- Comment No opinion (yet) on keep or delete, but this is largely a duplication of other existing articles. Taking the Yankees as an example, we already have much more complete articles at List of New York Yankees managers, New York Yankees all-time roster, and List of New York Yankees broadcasters. If kept, those sections should just point to the existing articles.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all Excellent navigation device, if parts of the lists overlap use a link to the sublist. For the ones I looked at there is minimal overlap. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Which ones are those? These articles are completely overlapping with existing articles. Spanneraol (talk) 22:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Overlaps for Diamondbacks: List of Arizona Diamondbacks broadcasters (which also includes radio and TV stations), List of Arizona Diamondbacks managers, and Arizona Diamondbacks all-time roster
- For Braves: List of Atlanta Braves broadcasters (which also includes radio and TV stations), List of Arizona Diamondbacks managers and Atlanta Braves all-time roster
- For White Sox: List of Chicago White Sox broadcasters (which also includes radio and TV stations), List of Chicago White Sox managers and ownership and Chicago White Sox all-time roster
- for Dodgers: List of Los Angeles Dodgers broadcasters (which also includes radio and TV stations), Managers and ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers (redirect from List of Los Angeles Dodgers managers), Los Angeles Dodgers all-time roster and List of Los Angeles Dodgers in the Baseball Hall of Fame
- for the Mets: List of New York Mets broadcasters (which also includes radio and TV stations), List of New York Mets managers, and New York Mets all-time roster
- I've already listed the Yankees overlap above.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all. This is listcruft. Nom has it right. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all I agree with the nom that such a list is somewhat indiscriminate. List of <team> managers/owners/announcers are definite and serve the purpose sufficiently Corpx (talk) 17:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all Overlaps with existing articles. Indiscriminate information. Spanneraol (talk) 22:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all most of the people in these lists have categories and the lists are too long. In addition, the lists are not so useful because they are not complete.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
