Deletion of List of Major League Baseball teams by population

Comment: I am not changing my vote even after the rewrite. Right now this list is still an intersection of two essentially unrelated features. This violates . Also there is no need for this article to exist. If one is interested, they can just go to the MLB city articles to look up the population. To say this can easily become a  is an overstatement

Comment: I still don't see the point of the article - it just rehashes the US metro table with only the cities for baseball teams (and throws in Toronto) - the original creator clearly doesn't get the point - he just added a section on player demographics, which obviously has nothing to do with the article (and I just removed).

Comment: I would like to request that the deletion discussion either be re-listed or kept open for longer than usual since the product is different and the vast majority of concerns by users has been addressed. We have identified Baseball Almanac as a reliable source, debunked the  concern, connected population to teams (if that is not clear, the population of the are defines the market size), and removed all |original research
