Talk:Texas Rangers (baseball)

message: This is long overdue. If the Florida Marlins have a history article, the Rangers definitely should. A rework to differentiate the Washington Senators II era should be done too...maybe make that into its own "History of" article should it warrant it. Arnabdas (talk) 16:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Still recency bias... the police organization has much more significance.. using page view statistics is not a good way to view that... the Texas Rangers have been a part of Texas culture since the 19th century.. Hollywood has made several films and TV shows about them.. the baseball team was named for the police organization. They had a spike in interest when they won the world series but thats not long term interest. Spanneraol (talk) 13:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok why does the Police organization have more significance? I not only explained why the MLB team would be likely to rise in views bus I also made 3 other points. Yeah, the Police Division is older, but have their films and tv shows gained any sort of significance recently, or at all? The Houston Astros are named after the Astrodome, that doesn’t mean “Houston Astros” has to disambiguate to many terms. DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 02:49, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The Astros dont have the same name as the Astrodome.. it's distinguished enough.  The Texas Rangers are a famous police force in Texas... they feature heavily in the Walker (TV series), itself a reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger. Just having shows and movies on a subject is because it was a significant subject to begin with. In fact the Lone Ranger was a former Texas Ranger. Not everyone is a baseball fan, more people are familiar with the Texas Rangers as lawmen... and yes if anything should be the primary topic it is that.Spanneraol (talk) 03:11, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah but there’s just one thing: the Texas Rangers AREN’T a famous police force in Texas; their notability and relevancy has gone down in recent times (which, of course, would also apply to their films and media). It wasn’t that significant, and the Lone Ranger makes little difference of prominence. In these current days, the team has grown in popularity, while the police haven’t. Now I’m not calling the PD obsolete, just not a really relevant subject. Ok prove that more people recognize the police over the team, not everyone is a law enforcement fan. A change to make the police the primary topic would be completely recognizing a subject with little notability and activity in recent times.

replies: text: I don't know how old you are or where you are from... but you are clearly new to wikipedia.. you have lost this argument and not a single person has taken your side.... time to move on. and yes the Texas Rangers are a famous police force... currently featured on Walker every week. Spanneraol (talk) 21:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  That relates to this situation how? Wikipedia isn’t about winning or losing, and the RM is still open. Nad, even if the result is Not moved, I wouldn’t be bothered, contrary to your belief. Yes, but the baseball team is more prominent. DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 23:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
