| Let me start of by saying that from a structural standpoint, this article is very strange. It's a weird half-n-half of actual article and disambiguation page, in the sense that it talks about 2 separate enemies as if they were one, yet lists their different articles with the main info in them. It's also weird in term of naming, listing the 2 distinct enemies as a group based on the level they appear in(which wasn't the case in the original Japanese version, the title for the level there is something along the lines of "Green Glove and Batter"). Given that it repeats a lot of info from 2 separate articles about the aforementioned enemies and is in a weird "maybe it's conjectural" state, what should this page be exactly?

| ===Delete The Article===

|
| |
| ===Turn It Into A Normal Disambiguation Page===
| |
| #{{User|LinkTheLefty}} I mentioned this late in a [[Talk:Bubble Dayzee#Comments 2|previous proposal]], but "Baseball Boy" is indeed used for both enemies in the GBA version of the Player's Guide.
| |
| #{{User|Blinker}} Per LinkTheLefty.
| |
| #{{User|Somethingone}} New first choice, per LTL.
| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} I don't think this really needs a full page, but on the off chance someone searches for this term, a disambiguation would be helpful.
| |
| #{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Ray Trace}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Niiue}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|WildWario}} Per all.
| |
| #{{user|Shokora}} – Per all.
| |
| #{{User|OhoJeeOnFire}} This is the only logical answer.
| |
| #{{User|Swallow}} Per all
| |
| #{{User|LadySophie17}} Per all
| |
| #{{User|Archivist Toadette}} Yeah, this is probably for the better.
| |
| #{{User|ShootingStar7X}} Per the results of [[Talk:Tileoid#What to do with this article|this proposal]], and per all.
| |
| #{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Kirbeat}} Per all; this works better as a disambiguation page than the current structure or than an actual article, and also it is better to have this as a disambiguation instead of not having this page at all.
| |
| #{{User|RHG1951}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|BBQ Turtle}} Per all, there's no reason to keep the padding on this glorified disambiguation page.
| |
| #{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all.

| |
| Hello, I'm aware I'm the one that made the above proposal. When I made it, I was under the assumption that "Baseball Boy" was just a name the two enemies were referred to as ''separately'', like how [[Spiked Fun Guy (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|this]] and [[Needlenose|this]] are both referred to as "sanbo".
| |
|
| |
| However, as I'm looking over the player's guide again, [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_SNES_Super_Mario_World_2_Yoshis_Island_1995/page/n23/mode/2up it turns out] that the term "Baseball Boy" is a name the two are referred to ''collectively'' as, like how [[Topman]] refers to many different species of table-top-toy-like enemies. "Green Glove" and "Slugger" are only used on the scanned "enemy index" section of the guide. Considering how this collective term remained in the SMA3 guide, with the solo instances of "Green Glove" and "Slugger" being replaced by "Green Glove Baseball Boy" and "Slugger Baseball Boy", I think that "Baseball Boy" might actually be a species after all, like how we have [[Dudim Phreykunoutonthis]] as the species of [[Fuzzy (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|Fuzzy]].

| |
| So, should we remake this page? It would be consistent with the other two "collective enemy species" articles I mentioned before. [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 21:59, June 2, 2022 (EDT)
