I do believe the Minden team is notable in its position in history as a minor league team playing as a charter member of the 1903 Central Nebraska League. After the league folded in 1903, some Minden players were absorbed by the Holdrege team, who evidently continued play in the 1903 season. Skilgis1900 (talk) 13:09, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete A very specific !vote - a newspapers.com search shows there's more than enough to include information on this team and league in the encyclopaedia. Whether it's as a standalone page may be a bit much, but it's not impossible to get there in my mind - that being said, merging these teams into the league article may make more sense.

Merge as suggested, I don't see enough to warrant them having an article alone. Oaktree b (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional team game information, standings, player information, name details about the ballpark have been added from newspaper references from the era. Skilgis1900 (talk) 16:27, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
