This appears to violate WP:NOTDIR, #6. — Timneu22 · talk 01:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If this violates WP:NOTDIR, then so does Major League Baseball All-Star Games in Pittsburgh. I say if one stays, they both stay . . . if one is deleted, they both should be deleted. --Andyhi18 (talk) 01:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's different. Those games were in Pittsburgh. This is WP:LISTCRUFT that loosely correlates some events to others. Why not have "List of All-Star Games played east of the Mississippi" or something? — Timneu22 · talk 13:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — per WP:NOTDIR, as WP:LISTCRUFT. Gosox⁽⁵⁵⁾₍₅₅₎ 01:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this one and the one about Pittsburgh (which is different, I suppose, but not that different). In both cases, these impart no other information except that we have links to articles about the All-Star games that were hosted in those areas. Short version-- L.A. in '59 and '80, Anaheim in '67, '89 and '10. Mandsford 15:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: These are separate AfD's; you'll have to comment on that AfD separately. They just both happen to be nominated at the same time. There was no coordination for these nominations. — Timneu22 · talk 15:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It seems to be related enough to not violate WP:NOTDIR. The topic is fully related to what it lists and each individual section is related to one another. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 17:41, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Like with the Pittsburgh page, I don't see why it's so notable that there have been ASG's in the LA metro area, such that they need to be grouped together more than they already are. --Muboshgu (talk) 20:56, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article doesn't provide any sources to support the idea that All-Star Games being held in the L.A. area are considered by reliable independent sources to be a distinctive topic which should be distinguished from the rest of our coverage of All-Star Games. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a not very useful subset of List of Major League Baseball All-Star Game winners which could be modified to allow sorting. DCEdwards ¹⁹⁶⁶ 18:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Was just about to AFD this. Staxringold _talk^contribs 19:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
