This and Backyard Baseball 2007 do not appear to be notable. None of the other Backyard Baseball games have been created. James^x1 2345 22:01, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge anything of use to the main page. I suggest that 2007 be bundled in this AfD. Ansh6 6 6 00:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a hard one for me. There's a slough of websites mentioning Backyard Baseball, and a few of its games, but not many seem to be reliable. PC Magazine had a Quick Clip about BYB '01, but that's barely a passing mention (it takes up not even a quarter of a page). Other than that, I can't come to the conclusion that any of these other sources are reliable. Most of them seem to be guide sites and whatnot. I would be opposed to a merge, because the main article does not have any references either. Therefore, I would say to delete all articles on the subject, including the main article.

Judging by the number of page views (I know), I thought the main article is notable, but it appears to be a fairly standard arcade game. I don't know how WP:GNG applies here, as it might have received plenty of coverage before such stuff was indexed online. James^x1 2345 17:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not an arcade game, for one. This, while hilarious reading, isn't reliable at all, and I'm not finding anything online. It does predate most of the biggest computer/video game sites, though, and fell off the radar in popularity (as far as I know) in more recent years. Ansh6 6 6 19:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Selective merge to article on series. Unnecessary and entirely unsourced detail on a game that doesn't seem to have enough coverage to be notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
