Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 13:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly from the original list and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments sorry you had to wait a few weeks before receiving any comments...
  • "113 different players have" don't start sentences with numerals.
  • Fixed (I hope that's the correct wording). —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Forgive my ignorance, is "six hits" some kind of notable threshold?
  • Yes, MLB.com recognises it under its "Rare Feats" section (along with other sites in the "General" refs section). I know 6 hits looks like a fairly frequent occurrence compared to the other single--game feats (e.g. strikeouts, home runs, etc.). But if this were limited to the record number (7 hits), then the list would only be two players long. —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would consider noting that, e.g. as we do in the cricket "fifer" lists. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "to the stellar offensive performance." I get what you're saying but that's a little too much POV for me.
  • Well shucks, three years ago? I can barely remember three days ago. Let's leave it. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "each of two consecutive games that were three days apart" mildly confusing potentially, the record was just two consecutive games, right? The three days apart is just additional info?
  • You're right. Removed the days apart. —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • " eighteen have been elected and three were elected on the first .." ->" eighteen have been elected, three on the first .."
  • "six ... six ... 26... " violates MOS:NUM.
  • We no longer place a comma before Jr.
  • The extra-inning game thing doesn't appear to be covered in the lead at all.
  • I think it may be worth a couple of sentences right at the end of the lead to explain why this info is tagged onto the end of the main list... (it's more about appeasing us non-experts than anything else)... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @TonyTheTiger – it's already noted in the 2nd sentence of paragraph two. In fact, more of his single-game records (XBH, HRs) are discussed than anyone else's in the list. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 21:05, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • The second link for Anthony Rendon in the lead (the one in the second paragraph) isn't needed. This is a case of overlinking.
  • "Seven players hit for the cycle during their six hit game." Minor, but should there be a hyphen in "six hit"? A similar fix may be needed in note E as well.
  • It says here that Ty Cobb had 4,189 hits, but the 3,000 hit club article shows 4,191. I believe this was a case in which MLB.com and Baseball-Reference differ in their totals (there was some discrepancy historians found that MLB never corrected in the official figures). Since the 4,189 figure technically isn't the one that MLB uses, I'd add a footnote to say that the stat is from Baseball-Reference, and that MLB has a different figure; the 3,000 hit club page has good examples of how to do such a footnote.

  • @Giants2008: – thanks for the review! I think I've addressed your comments satisfactorily. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:05, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – All of my comments have been addressed and I believe the list meets FL standards. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:05, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Only thing i saw is this: "no player has ever recorded more than seven hits in a game." Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but technically it should say "no player has ever recorded more than seven hits in a nine-inning game." (on a side note, trying to figure out what happened to Zaza Harvey and coming up short. six hits in a game but 86 career and falling off the face of the earth despite a .332 avg? something's up there.) Wizardman 02:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wizardman: – No, you're right in wanting to specify so that readers don't get confused. Oh, and with regards to your side note, I think this answers it – Harvey fell ill with a stomach illness that became "so severe he could no longer continue playing". —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:21, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A shame about Harvey, small sample size yes but the bit I did find otherwise made it seem like he could've had a nice career. Wizardman 13:42, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed, promoting. --PresN 21:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
