2001 Major League Baseball contraction plan

Created by Songwaters (talk). Self-nominated at 15:27, 1 November 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Date and length fine. I would prefer the original because it has the broadest reach by mentioning both teams. However Template:Ping there are a large number of citation needed tags which would have to be removed/sourced before this can proceed. A QPQ is not needed as this is their first nomination. No close paraphrasing. Just needs those tags sorted then ping me and I'll have another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:52, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. You have a good hook angle here, but the sources do not name these teams at all, only saying they were "likely" to be the teams that would be cut. Your article also uses this nuanced wording. Please tweak the hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thanks for the alt. But it really doesn't have broad audience interest; we are constantly getting comments from other editors that they aren't even familiar with the mechanics of baseball. Only a real fan would know how many teams there are in the league and what it would mean to lose a few. Can you pull something out of the article that would have broader interest?

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, ALT5 is good, thanks. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per The C of E. ALT5 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:53, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
