Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster

Notified: User:Killervogel5, WikiProject Baseball

• Including: Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (A), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (B), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (C), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (D), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (E–F), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (G), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (H), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (I–J), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (K), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (L), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (M), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (N–O), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (P–Q), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (R), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (S), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (T–V), Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (W–Z)

Lists are showing significant aging, including:

• Player rosters have not been updated in a full nine years.

• Stats need updating for certain players where the player played for the Phillies beyond 2011 (ie Jimmy Rollins in Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (R) played for the Phillies for three more years.) Updating for those already on the list.

• Template:Note label is depreciated and should be replaced on all lists.

• This article (Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster) needs updating to reflect new players.

• Ref 16 and 17 on Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster are dead.

• Once every individual page is updated then the lead for the main page Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster needs to be updated for the total number of players for each letter. Same for the table in Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster.

• Leads in every page need to be updated for the numbers of players for that letter or letters.

• A lot of the files for living or recently deceased people need personality rights templates at the Commons.

• A lot of the lists have something similar to: "Among the 34 batters in this list, catcher Hezekiah Allen has the highest batting average: a .667 mark, with two hits in his three plate appearances." I'm not sure that's a fair comparison, especially when Baseball Reference doesn't allow cross comparisons amongst players until a certain benchmark is hit for pa/game. Same with pitchers.

• I would recommend removing the "Italic text indicates that the player is a member of the Phillies' active (25-man) roster" altogether, because honestly it's tedious to update. Therapyisgood (talk) 23:58, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delist. Honestly, I'm just going to call out delist now. It's so out of date it'd be a massive project. The table gives 2,081 players (1,037 hitters and 871 pitchers). The Baseball-Reference citations, when taken together, give 3,104 players (2,090 hitters and 1,014 pitchers). There's some overlap here, as any of the pitchers who pitched in a game without a DH would also be considered as a hitter, I believe (they'd appear on the lineup card, even if they didn't get an at-bat), but that indicates a massive amount of updating needed. No way that gets done in a reasonable amount of time. Hog Farm _Bacon 03:04, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delist and consider merge or AFD JFC if you want baseball statistics, just go to baseball-reference.com. We shouldn't be awarding featured status (or 18! stars) to a mere import of a single webpage of data. Reywas92^Talk 21:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delist all – It's a shame because these lists were in great condition when they were promoted, but the nominator hasn't been active in years and the lists have fallen out-of-date. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:14, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delist all per above. ~ HAL333([2]) 01:30, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Alright, this has been left open way too long; it's clear these issues aren't going to be touched and this needs to be closed. Delisting all. --PresN 03:48, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
