Talk:Ryan Lollis

BASE/N
I !voted delete on the AfD in April, but the subject was just promoted to the major leagues, and so meets WP:BASE/N. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)


 * No he doesn't, he only meets that criteria if/when he actually plays a match. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And that could happen today, likely in the next couple days. Meanwhile new sourcing is coming out on him, so this doesn't meet G4 as there is new material. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm concerned that it would be a waste of resources to speedy this today and potentially have to recreate it after this afternoon's game. I understand following the letter of WP:BASE/N, but this would be a great time to apply WP:IAR and allow us to focus our resources elsewhere. I won't edit war over the CSD, but it makes the most sense to let this situation play out for a few days rather than rushing through with a speedy. EricEnfermero (Talk) 20:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Wait, there's a baseball game this afternoon? (Not a baseball fan) In which case, I retract these complaints, no point deleting this and recreating it in 6-12 hours time. I assumed it was a case of "delete it now, recreate it in 3 months". Joseph2302 (talk) 20:03, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. Major league teams play 162 games between April and October. It's theoretically possible for a player to get called up to the major leagues and not play, but normally they appear in a game within a few days (often within one day of the call-up).

 * Basically, being English and not being a baseball fan, I assumed it was like an August-May sport, like the NFL or most association football leagues, and wasn't happy for it to be on Wiki for 2-3 months before they actually played. Did know there was like 150 games though. Definitely a case where I should have done some research before. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:11, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I could've explained the part about it being an April-October season better. Some of those edits were made on my phone, though. Pobody's nerfect. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:03, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, I should have checked the likelihood that he'd actually play soon. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:08, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

So he was promoted to the majors, huh? #Vindicated #ImRightAgain #DeletionismFails. Alex (talk) 00:44, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't gloat if I were you. A stopped clock is right twice a day, and I don't know that you want us to calc out your record of "vindication". – Muboshgu (talk) 00:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
