Nationality of Players[edit]

Given the fact that baseball is becoming an increasingly more international sport (i.e., more non-U.S. leagues in existence, more non-U.S. players in the MLB), the roster formatting on Wikipedia should probably be updated to reflect that. If you look at the formatting for other international sports (such as soccer), the player nationalities are indicated using flag icons. I think this would be a beneficial update to each of the major league rosters in the MLB, it would not be too difficult to implement and it would not clutter the information on the page. However, before such change a change is implemented, I thought it would be healthy to achieve at least some form of consensus on the talk page for each team. yuristache (talk) 01:10, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

New "History of the Texas Rangers (baseball)" article proposal[edit]

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)[reply]

Removing the politics from the current history section would be a great start. 86.97.92.42 (talk) 15:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The MLB franchise is clearly a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per page view statistics. This Texas Rangers has 103,300 compared with 8,563 for the film one, 3,018 for the regiment one, and 482 for the architects one. AaronWikia (talk) 22:16, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Doesn't seem fair to leave out Texas Ranger Division from the pageview counts. They receive more than the baseball team, and the name is a clear reference. No primary topic. Nohomersryan (talk) 04:19, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Nohomersryan. Page counts are not everything (otherwise we could easily automate the RM process). In this case, the name is a clear reference to the police division, and both have long-term significance. I see no reason one should primary over the other. -- Netoholic @ 08:32, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Can't ignore the PD. --Gonnym (talk) 12:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The Texas Ranger Division, commonly referred to as the Texas Rangers, has a very obvious claim to being primary here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:11, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per all of the above. For further background, the Ranger Division was founded when Texas was still part of Mexico (1823), and was formally organized early in the Texas war of independence (1835). The baseball team didn't make it to Arlington until 1972. — Dale Arnett (talk) 23:16, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If anything, maybe we should move Texas Ranger Division to Texas Rangers. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Texas Ranger Division has greater long-term significance due to being of 'greater enduring notability and educational value'. The Texas Ranger Division article also more page views (except during baseball season). So per both criteria listed in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, Texas Ranger Division should be the primary topic.
