[edit] Grainger vs Historic Grainger Stadium

In regards to the edit of "Historic" Grainger Stadium: the Kinston Indians themselves have started using the term "Historic" whenever referring to their stadium and use it as if it were part of the name. See: http://www.kinstonindians.com/grainger/default.asp . Please note that they also capitalize the term. Kinston eagle 12:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Should somebody move Grainger Stadium to Historic Grainger Stadium? Nick81aku 22:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

At the moment, it is not the "official" name but a nickname adopted by the powers that be such as "KTribe" for "Kinston Indians". Unless the name is formally changed, I think things should stay the way they are.Kinston eagle 10:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

Why hasn't this article been deleted? It was successfully nominated for deletion and deletion was subsequently endorsed by deletion review. Bwithh 21:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion concerned pages for individual players. It was determined that players that were only at the High A level of ball were not notable enough to warrant their own pages, but the team pages were not up for deletion.24.106.223.2 19:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 roster - James Deters

I notice that James Deters (Buffalo Bisons) is listed under the heading "Current K-Tribers who have played for another team in 2007." I keep track of players that fall under this category (along with the category "Played for 2007 K-Tribe but no longer with team" - {for Akron, Buffalo, and Cleveland as well}) and James Deters is the only player that I believe does not fall under this category. I think the milb.com player page for Deters made a mistake by saying that he played for Buffalo for one game [1]. I have checked every Bisons box score this season and Deters never appears. Furthermore, Bisons transactions show that Deters was called up on May 5 and sent down the same day [2]. Box scores from May 4 [3], 5 [4], and 6 [5] all reflect that Deters never played with the Bisons. As a result, I plan to remove Deters from the heading "K-Tribers who have played for another team in 2007." If this seems like a mistake, please provide a Bisons boxscore that shows Deters has played with them. Nick22aku 15:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

It was another call up. One game: [6] April 23 against Pawtucket.Kinston eagle 18:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, thanks! Sorry about all that. Nick22aku 22:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Candidate passed

Good job. Honestly, this may be one of the best written, best referenced sports team articles I have read in a long time. This is quite close to Feature quality, consider taking it to Peer Review for more specific comments towards getting it to Feature quality, but IMHO this is almost featureable as-is. Good job! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 02:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
