What is the involved article(s)?
fangraph links - The fangraphs link is the main site of contention, but the discussion extends to cover articles that include WP:EL's to thebaseballcube br bullpen. Potentially, any baseball related article could be involved.
What's going on?
There is a huge debate with regards to the aforementioned sites and their use in WP:EL sections. The debate has spread to a number of pages, involved many wiki violations by all of the major "contributors" to the discussion.
The debate has popped up most on the named article in this case. People are very quick to attach blame to one editor or another. WP:AGF has been tossed out the door by most, and the discussions are very disjointed, convoluted, and sporadic.
What would you like to change about that?
I'm sure everyone will agree that the current attempts at discussion have failed. We need to evaluate which of the "debated" sites is worthy of consideration for inclusion of a given article and why it is worthy. Then we need to consider if they should be used in conjunction with sites that are already accepted by the community or if they should replace said sites. Intelligent discourse based solely on the merits of the content needs to take place.
