There appears to be a dispute between ViperNerd (talk · contribs) and Jober14 (talk · contribs) over recent edits of this page. I just thought I would create a forum to discuss this dispute. Music+mas (talk) 20:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok, someone explain to me how being the 3rd longest streak in all of college baseball isn't notable? But yet, USC sweeping Clemson 4-0 in 2008 warrants its own mini-section in the rivalry article? I'm not not understanding what's going on here. Can someone please help me out? Jober14 (talk) 20:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I would tend to agree that the third longest streak in terms of NCAA tournament participation is worthy of inclusion. ViperNerd (talk · contribs), if you would like to try to persuade me why my first inclination is wrong, feel free to sound off. Music+mas (talk) 20:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Before I start discussion, I'd like a link to the NCAA list that was mentioned in edit comments as a notable source for the material under dispute. And if it's possible, could we limit the discussion to THIS article. If someone has issues with another article, this isn't the forum for that discussion. Take it to that article's talk page if you've got problems with material there. Furthermore, it's not up to me to "persuade" a single user of anything, this is an issue where consensus needs to be sought. Thanks. ViperNerd (talk) 20:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
A list of the longest streaks of consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament can be found on p. 166 of the 2009 Clemson Tigers baseball media guide [1]. Music+mas (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I think that should pretty much settle it. I vote to Include the streak back into the article. Jober14 (talk) 20:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

You know what? I think I'm changing my mind on this whole issue. I thought about pointing out how "third most superlative" is typically used only in cases of permanence in encyclopedic articles (3rd highest mountain, 3rd largest Great Lake, etc.) and very rarely in transitory cases such as sports records, skyscraper height, etc. And how other articles on baseball programs such as FSU (2nd longest streak), Oklahoma State (4th longest streak), and Texas (5th longest streak) don't even contain mention of these "notable" facts, much less include them prominently in their intros. But the more I think about it, the more I'm in favor of leaving this fancruft in the Clemson article, because it so obviously screams DESPERATE FOR RESPECT. In fact, I'd take it a step further. Why not also include the fact that the Tigers have the 6th highest number of NCAA tournament appearances and are 11th all-time in CWS appearances? I mean, they are both listed facts in the Clemson baseball media guide, so that automatically makes them notable, right? Go for it, Jober. Just don't forget to adjust your lofty ranking when Fullerton passes you in four years. LOL ViperNerd (talk) 01:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Nobody asked for your opinion on the Clemson fanbase. The question here is whether or not the information presented is notable, not whether you think Clemson fans are dumb. Take that argument to FGF, you'll find much greater support for your cause there. Jober14 (talk) 12:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lead section

edit

There are some stats thrown in there about amount of winning seasons and it would be nice to get a perspective on what that really means and how significant it is. Any way to include that? Dreambeaver (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

History Section Copyvio

edit

Hello all, I've recently removed the article's history section due to major copyright violation of this page. Most, though not all, of the section was pasted directly from the webpage, and I felt it would be easier to rewrite the section entirely than to sort out the few things that were not plagiarized.
