He exists, there are a couple minor sources, but he doesn't meet the notability of a baseball player, as he did not make the major leagues, play in any of the major Asian leagues, or play internationally. Muboshgu (talk) 20:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep See WP:WPBB/N, I think he fits well into that last bullet. I think it's borderline, but there seems to be sufficient second party sources. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 21:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the only reason he has an article is because he is Tom Herrs son, hes not notable otherwise.--Yankees10 00:46, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Has significant time in AAA, which meets my requirements for inclusion. Enough sources about this player to satisfy notability requirements. Spanneraol (talk) 01:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have a question, since when does playing in AAA make a player notable?--Yankees10 01:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've always considered players with more than one season at AAA to be notable... it used to be our policy but it was changed. It remains my opinion. Spanneraol (talk) 01:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess since WP:ATHLETE...he is a "professional" is he not? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And he isn't just a AAA player, but a AAA All-Star. Spanneraol (talk) 01:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Every single player in A ball are professional too, so Brian what you are saying is they are notable too. I dont think so.--Yankees10 01:57, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not, WP:ATHLETE is. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 06:32, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Well you are clearly mistaken. Not every player in A ball are notable.--Yankees10 16:59, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Again, I'm not, WP:ATHLETE is. I'm following its guidelines, because that is consensus. I don't think we should be pushing what we feel is notability. If you have a problem, you should take it up on the talk page. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 18:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. International League All-Star at AAA in 2007. Also meets the general notability guideline: Interview in the Springfield News-Leader, full profiles in the Lancaster New Era, Lancaster Intelligencer Journal, Niagra Gazette, a partial profile in the Myrtle Beach Sun News, etc. More as well, if needed, but that should be plenty, IMO. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 00:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Apparently meets the GNG; sometimes famous names generate the level of coverage satisfying notability when others without family connections are ignored. Sometimes notability's just not fair. Paris Hilton. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and incorporate the stories Juliancolton dug up, maybe delete some of the many stat links in the article. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 18:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
