Pinging Yankees10. I understand Yankees fans may not have as firm a grasp on policy compared to Red Sox fans account of their tendency to support an inferior team, but the article still fails SPORTSCRIT. JayCubby 23:13, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The SABR biography has plenty of citations [1]. Blue Jays fans laugh then the Yankees and Sox start a feud anyway.... Oaktree b (talk) 23:31, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. While there was minimal sources when searching for Doc Shanley, I found plenty beyond game logs and casual mentions when searching for Harry Shanley. Would suggest a pagemove upon closure. Wizardman 23:41, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sourcing and a WP:TROUT for the nominator for (1) not doing WP:BEFORE and (2) the unnecessary antagonism in the nomination. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:48, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't have access to newspapers.com (though I ought to apply through TWL). Good catch with the sourcing. JayCubby 03:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
