A list with only one item hardly merits its own article. Per
WP:SALAT and
WP:SUMMARY, the scope of the article is too narrow to be a stand-alone list. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 16:26, 24 June 2018 (UTC)reply
I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all similar team lists with only one entry:
Agree. I feel that the set of articles containing only one entry in their list don't merit their own articles. Some of the other articles are still short and also contain few entries. I've also noticed that each of the articles in this set contain the exact same language, for better or for worse. There should be some way to merge a few of these articles into
List of Major League Baseball no-hitters.

I imagine that even if consensus is to delete, that the articles would be redirected to
List of Major League Baseball no-hitters to maintain the article's history and keep the links working. These articles may someday become more relevant if more no-hitters are complete by these teams. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 17:18, 25 June 2018 (UTC)reply
So are you suggesting that we should just blank the articles and provide a redirect for later use? What would be the criteria for bringing them back?

This is more personal preference, but to me a list is never necessary for anything under three items. Even then, I don't really like lists with 5 items or less. I think it best to determine consensus here that the lists can be deleted, and then determine the best course of action in regards to a redirect. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 02:56, 27 June 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete all, as not meeting
WP:NLIST, a question from a non-baseball follower, are these no-hit games notable? i see there is
List of Major League Baseball no-hitters but is there/should there be an article describing the (more) notable games?

I think it's more about the team statistics than the actual games, because in baseball, a no-hitter is still an impressive feat to accomplish, even if it's not an otherwise notable game. There is no need to create an article for every game with a no-hitter, but it's still important to keep track of them as a statistic.

Delete all and do not redirect. Per the discussion immediately above this the topic of no hitters is notable and a list is encyclopedic. I am having a hard time imagining these terms as search terms and do not agree that we should preserve the pages for future re-expansion. Best,

If they get deleted then if there is ever a need to any of these pages in the future someone can just put them back up.
