MLB Cheerleading

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no such thing as an MLB Cheerleading League. This is simply a list of MLB team Cheerleaders and could easily be merged into the respective team articles. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think the other AfDs should be mentioned with the others being nominated: WP:Articles for deletion/Canadian Football League Cheerleading, WP:Articles for deletion/NHL Ice Dancers, WP:Articles for deletion/National Basketball Association Cheerleading.

Delete - There does not appear to be an actual organization with this name. It does appear that some of the individual squads receive enough coverage to warrant pages of their own. Kinston eagle (talk) 01:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete... just on the principle that I think cheerleaders in baseball is a terrible idea.Spanneraol (talk) 02:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The idea of cheerleaders during a baseball game doesn't seem to work. Explains why only the players, military and the national anthem singers are on the field, and no cheerleaders are present. Zappa O Mati 02:46, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Seriously? First of all, no organization exists by the name included in the article/list title, let alone an organization that satisfied the notability requirements of WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Second, even to the extent that one or more of the individual MLB cheerleading squads might be notable, there is no reason why a subject of so little substance merits a stand-alone article/list separate and apart from the articles regarding the parent MLB teams. If there were any substantive content included within this list, I would suggest a merge of such material to the team pages, but there is none. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article is factually wrong as there is no such league or organisation as asserted. -- Whpq (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If such a league exists, it certainly does a good job of being quiet about it. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C) 23:06, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - for all the reasons mentioned. It is interesting that the one person listed in the article as a "notable" cheerleader is a red link. Rlendog (talk) 02:12, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
