Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Major League Baseball players with 2000 hits
I entirely understand the rationale for deletion here, and I'm even somewhat inclined to agree. That said, I don't think this conflicts with #STATS. That portion of the  policy says the following about excessive listing of statistics: "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles." Sure, MLB players with 3000 hits are in a much more exclusive club, but there are still only 260 players on this list &ndash; not many at all, given the sheer number of men who have played in the major leagues. As such, this list isn't exactly "long and sprawling," in my opinion. But enough about What Wikipedia Is Not; what about What Wikipedia Is? According to , "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. It incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." One certainly can find these kind of baseball statistical listings in almanacs, both general and specialized. Finally, to address the point about the questionable notability of the milestone &ndash; sure, it's far from earth-shattering when players have their 2000th hit, but, as a baseball fan, I know I've seen newspapers and TV programs mark the occasion when a player passes the milestone. 2000 isn't as big of a deal as 3000, but it's still no small feat
