Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Major League Baseball players from Brazil
I'm surprised to find myself going this way, but here we are :) First of all, I'll say that I don't know of any policy/guideline that places a minimum number on stand-alone lists. If someone can point me in the direction of something that says otherwise, I'll certainly come back to !vote delete. What we do have is  and related guidelines about when something should be a stand-alone page or covered as part of another. In this case, I figured the latter was going to be the logical way to go, if it wasn't covered already. But I don't see a logical merge target. There's no obvious article and also no list of Major League Baseball players by nationality -- only a list of current Major League Baseball players by nationality|list of ''current'' players, which removes the historical significance that ''this'' kind of article can provide. As far as establishing notability for the list, that the country's first three players have recently joined the MLB has received significant press attention, including many sources that talk about them as a group (note that some of these only mention one or two from the current list because that was the whole list at the time of publication). See http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/24/sports/baseball/indians-yan-gomes-hopes-to-spread-his-sport-in-brazil.html?_r=0 New York Times, http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/baseball-in-brazil-next-big-thing-mlb-yan-gomes-paulo-orlando-andre-rienzo-092415 FOX Sports, http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/brazilian-outfielder-paulo-orlando-kansas-city-royals-debut-triple-mlb USA Today, http://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/2012/05/17/blue_jays_yan_gomes_becomes_first_brazilian_to_play_in_mlb_game.html The Star, http://www.kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kansas-city-royals/article21118017.html Kansas City Star, http://wap.milb.com/news/article/2013030242179418/rienzo_hopes_to_turn_heads_for_brazil MiLB.com, http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/kansas-city-royals-brazilian-paulo-orlano-mlb USA Today, http://www.foxsports.com/florida/story/miami-marlins-andre-rienzo-baseball-in-brazil-022815 Fox Sports, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-worldcup-baseball-idUSBREA1C1EZ20140213 Reuters, http://www.kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kansas-city-royals/article41551062.html Kansas City Star, http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/kansas-city-royals-world-series-paulo-orlando-first-brazilian-102715 Fox Sports, http://www.ocregister.com/articles/baseball-676749-brazil-brazilian.html Orange county Register, http://www.ocregister.com/articles/baseball-677085-brazil-brazilian.html Orange County Register... So there's precedent for this kind of article (see navbox), there are sources to satisfy  or even , and while a category does exist |they aren't in competition. &mdash
