Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of top 500 Major League Baseball home run hitters
In some ways this is actually worse than the 2000 hits list I nominated, I just didn't want to start with this one as it has a greater following thanks to the labor needed to keep it updated. Clearly violative of WP:NOTSTATS as it's a pure statistical listing with no establishment of notability. And any claim as to why this list is set at 500 is madeup. It's at 500 because that's what baseball-reference listed on it's HR leader page at the time this was created, it's just a direct clone of that (they've now expanded to 1000). This list is also far more violative of . At least 2000 hits is a milestone that gets mentioned for the individual in game summaries, the Ryan Braun's of the world do not even get individual mention for crossing this arbitrary plane. I also have the same issues I raised (arbitrary cutoff list on a subject, career HR leaders, that we already have a list with established notability for in 500 home run club
