Suggestions

[edit]

I've been tagging relevant player articles with the templates. Recommend that current players in the organization be tagged as high importance, former players as mid importance. HalifaxRage (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for tagging player articles. I think members of the Level of Excellence should be high importance, and I'm not sure that all current players should be importance = high - perhaps star players, but not current players like Wilmer Font or Anthony Bass, for example. There's also a maintenance issue when a player ceases to be a Blue Jay. PKT(alk) 22:19, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now that you mention it, you're right. I figure, top importance should be just the main article, then high importance for things like Rogers Centre, Roy Halladay etc. Maybe by default have all players as low importance and "promote" them if notable, i.e. named to an all-star team or win a major award. HalifaxRage (talk) 23:22, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I like the All-Star team idea particularly. By the way, I was going to mention Exhibition Stadium, but it's already, and correctly, rated high importance. PKT(alk) 23:56, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen any other reference to notability here, so do you want to spell it out here? Amended recommendation: Top (main article), high (Stadiums, Hall of Famers/Level of Excellence, GMs/Executives, Managers), mid (players who have won a major award or are otherwise exceptionally notable), low (everything else). HalifaxRage (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC) Addendum: the season recap articles should be mid-importance, except for playoff years which should be high. Reasoning being those are the ones most likely to be read. HalifaxRage (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The applicable notability guideline is WP:NBASE. I'm comfortable with the guideline you suggest (I wish more WikiProjects could do that!) but I'm hoping to hear more voices about it here. PKT(alk) 16:31, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've proactively started at the top and shuffled some articles around, mostly retagging the articles I initially tagged as high importance. The top and high categories look pretty good, there's still a lot of untagged articles that I'll chip away at. I also updated the to-do list above, ideally once we get the majority of articles sorted, we can work on improving the overall quality of the project scope.
