Talk:The Steal

message: Are there some reliable references somewhere that "The Steal" is widely known as the name for this event?  I've never heard of it.  I'd say that Red Sox blogs don't count, but some mainstream press accounts would serve as reasonable references. —Cleared as filed. 21:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that this should stay. Google "The Steal" and "Red Sox", and you'll find dozens of blog and more mainstream articles referrring to this specific event as described. Most are Red Sox centric, admittedly, but as among the single most significant moments in the history of the franchise, I endorse keeping it as a standalone. Phantasmo 18:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  But what's the point of having a separate article?  It's not likely to be expanded past what it is now, and the details of this significant moment are missing from the more appropriate article, 2004 ALCS.  There's not so much to this that it shouldn't be where more people are likely to read it.  —Cleared as filed. 23:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmmm...perhaps. I guess I could go either way. Is perhaps a merge/redirect the best course in this case? Phantasmo 14:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Proposing merge of Dave House into main article; both articles as they stand are pretty short, and Dave House is notable only for being in this band, so I don't see the need for separate articles on each of the band members just yet. ~Matticus TC 20:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
