Andrew Schmidt

 * – ( View AfD View log )

College baseball player whose career seems non-notable/pedestrian. Some of this seems like a mix of other people (how could he have thrown a first pitch in 1991?), so not sure what's verifiable, if anything. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 06:07, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The "first pitch" in this case is a pre-game ritual where someone, usually a fan in the stands, tosses a ball to the players, so even a five year old sometimes does that. The inclusion of that type of information that makes people go "Awww..." suggests that a member of Andrew's family wrote this article, and the history  suggests this as well.  I'm surprised that it stayed up here for three months.  Mandsford 15:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The second guideline of the baseball notability guidelines: "Have appeared in at least one game in ... any other top-level national league." Having played in the top professional league of Australia, I feel he qualifies. Kinston eagle (talk) 00:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Changing my vote. I'd never heard of the Australian Baseball League, but I agree with Kinston that its players would qualify under WP:BASEBALL/N.  Good work on Kinston's part. Mandsford 02:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
