4000 strikeout club

Non-notable sub-list of 3000 strikeout club that simply doesn't get the same kind of coverage. The tiny membership is a big part of it, but plenty of media is spent discussing the 3000 K milestone (as one of the big 4 automatic Hall of Fame numbers, 3000 Ks, 3000 hits, 500 HR, or 300 wins), but this is just an odd subdivision like 3000-500 Club out of the 3000-300 club which really doesn't make sense.

Merge with 3000 strikeout club Make a subsection on 3000 strikeout club and crate a redirect from 4000 Strikeout Club to point to that subsection. The 4000 strikeout club merger should keep the 3000 strikeout club within reasonable size guidelines. Sawblade5 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 10:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See, but I've just been working on the 3000 strikeout club, what exact needs merging? Those 4 pitchers are already there, and their strikeout totals that show they're above 4000 are. Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why I said to merge to include any extra information on there and then create a redirect as I feel 4000 strikeout club would still be a likey search term and this is also why I suggested a subseciton in that article. Also if the delete is done a redirect is created, I feel it will violate the duel licensing of this article up for deletion.

Delete: This article serves no useful or encyclopedic purpose; though it is technically notable, all of its info is available in the "3000" article, which incidentally has ten times as many ghits. Ma^t_chups 03:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – I see no reason to have seperate lists on pitchers with 3,000 and 4,000 strikeouts when the former list includes everybody in the latter. On a glance, I see nothing that cries out for a merge; the pitchers are listed by strikeout order in the 3,000 strikeouts table, and there's already a mention of who the first pitcher to 3,000 strikeouts was. Most of the page's content consists of a wall of See also links, the majority of which are barely relevant. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 04:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the 3000 strikeout club; a 5000 strikeout club redirect to 3000 would also be fine. 76.66.192.206 (talk) 05:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
