Support. Thierry Caro (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)- Support. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:51, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Everything will be changing and I need the time and space to do this. There is risk involved though. If I am unable to achieve my goal, I will likely shut down. [1] --Pasleim (talk) 02:58, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- The site is still operational. The site is still linked to from the Wikipedia template given in the example, with ~8,000 links in en.Wikipedia alone.. The IDs still disambiguate people. Even if the site does eventually shut own, the data should not be discarded; and the pages can still be accessed via archive.org Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:46, 8 March 2017 (UTC
- From https://twitter.com/thebaseballcube/status/837782620649967616, it also appears that the site is still being actively developed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:52, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose agree. if the web will be change in the next 6 months, is better to wait. - yona b (talk) 06:04, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- @GZWDer, Thierry Caro, Pigsonthewing, Pasleim: Not done. If the website get stable and removes the notice that everything will change, we can reevaluate. ChristianKl (talk) 06:36, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- @ChristianKl: You shouldn't be closing this, as you opposed. Please reopen it, so that a more neutral person can evaluate it, not least in the light of the fact that the site is currently stable; and the availability of archive.org copies of its pages. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:46, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, I removed the "Not done". ChristianKl (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Putting 
On hold. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:35, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Matěj Suchánek: Why is this "on hold"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
- Some users mentioned an upcoming change to the web, so as an uninvolved person I put it on hold until it happens. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:15, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
@GZWDer, Pigsonthewing, Pasleim, Thierry Caro, Matěj Suchánek: I have reopened it. Should we create it in the current form? If they changed their identifiers, should be created it in a different form? ChristianKl (✉) 15:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support. This is the last big baseball identifier that we are waiting for. We've lost one year not having it. Thierry Caro (talk) 15:25, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Notified participants of WikiProject Sport results. Thierry Caro (talk) 15:28, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Comment. I've marked this as ready. The website has not been shut down during the past year. People opposing haven't come back. Let's see what happens then! Thierry Caro (talk) 22:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)- Comment given the number of identifiers in enwiki, it might be interesting to have these independently of the existence of the website.
