Babe Peebles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Because he was entirely a minor league figure, he may not be notable enough for an article. He does have a couple things going for him, however: he managed Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby, and he managed a couple teams to first place finishes in the minor leagues. You decide if he stays or goes. Alex (talk) 18:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I say not notable. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * comment Okay--why?--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Because as a player, he played in only 516 minor league games, and as a manager, only managed in the minors for a few seasons. Managing a minor league team is not enough to establish notability, not even if one of his players went on to be an all-time great. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'll say keep on this one. His league championships make him notable enough. Spanneraol (talk) 01:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Normally minor leaguers aren't included, this one may well be notable for inclusion. Would like to see offline sources added and hope the article grows.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. A minor league player lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:19, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Please bear in mind that online sources will be difficult to find because of the time frame of the prominence. I'll grant that doesn't give a "free pass"--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. But all too often I see articles kept at AfD on the wing and a prayer of offline sources that never materialise. This isn't even a case where we have an idea where the offline sources might be: we're just guessing that something might be out there. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
