Consistency
Some of these are redirects and others have articles, shouldn't we just keep them all as articles. No one said you had to have a first name. Who knows in years maybe we will all have code names. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:38, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- Added categories to the redirected players. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Article pages vs Redirect [pseudo-article] pages? Or is the colleague confusing red-links (that solicit creation of articles) with blue links that get users to prose and tables?
- "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." And in this case, "keep ... as articles" suggests unwillingness to accept that we know of some topics (whether corresponding to people or other nexes (plural of nexus?) of information), for which the overhead of an individual article is well-spent, and of others where it would be a waste or impediment. Such unwillingness to draw the lines between them can amount to various errors including grandiosity, solipsism, and ivory-tower syndrome.

Remedying and responding to both the 2014 contribs under this subsection's
- The only preceding talk contributor is owed thanks for both their contribs in this talk section; I regret my own current indisposition from splittiing that section into two sections, so each could reside under its own sub-section heading, to wit, one section abt articles vs. redirects, and the other section about the assignment of categories to the so-called "redirected players"

Harrison
Harrison appears to be Ben Harrison. On the bullpen section of his baseball reference page it says "SABR researchers appear to think that Harrison is the same person as Leo J. Harrison, who played in the minors later in the 1900's. In either case, not much is known about him." WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 16:42, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
