Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Negro League baseball players
I agree with comments in support of keeping this article. The nominator's argument that this fails  is completely unfounded—the Negro leagues were fully professional and, as Couillaud has observed, included many of the greatest players in the history of baseball. I agree the list could use some work, and indeed over the last couple of weeks I've been gathering information to expand the list to make it more useful, by adding information such as dates and positions played (including references).  It will take me a while to put this information together, so please don't expect to see dramatic changes to the list while this AfD is active, but I am working on it offline. I also note that this appears to be yet another example of a new sockpuppet created to make disruptive AfD nominations; I'm starting to observe a pattern
