To qualify for this page, a player must pass GNG. If they pass GNG, then they qualify for a standalone article. That makes this page unnecessary and redundant. Alex (talk) 05:48, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a list page.. the standard for meeting the requirements are lower than for an article.. This is about the farm system.. Did you have to nominate all of these separately? You really need to be banned for this pointy behavior. Spanneraol (talk) 06:10, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to make a point. I'm just following the consensus established by numerous Wikipedian members that a player must meet GNG to be on this page. It's spelled out in my rationale above. Alex (talk) 06:21, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep Alex is being WP:POINTy and I've already WP:TROUTed him. We have a long standing consensus on how to do this that he doesn't seem to comprehend, and now he's wasting our time and resources on this farce. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - The listed minor league baseball players are those who have been determined to be of some measure of notability under the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, but WP:BASEBALL and the larger community believe would be better served by inclusion in an "incubator" list article such as this one. The Wikipedia community, WP:BASEBALL, and/or the participants in this AfD may "conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article," and that the subject matter may be better covered as part of another article per GNG.  This is just such a case: KEEP.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:51, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * 20-Mule-Team Keep: I'm not quite sure what about the concept of "This page is a list of significant players that nonetheless don't meet the GNG" is so hard for the nom to grasp. With his advocacy in this AfD of merging another article to this very article he's nominated for deletion, this goes beyond the TROUT level and right into the need for a Frozen Trout of Seafood Justice.  Where the nom got it into his head that all entries in a List article need to independently qualify for the GNG I don't know, but given his comments on the other AfD I wonder if this is a case of reading into the guidelines what he wants them to say.  Perhaps some mentorship is in order.   Ravenswing   20:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Per the WP MOS (WP:LISTPEOPLE):
 * A person may be included in a list of people if all the following requirements are met:
 * The person meets the Wikipedia notability requirement.
 * People are treated differently than any other subject, so technically everyone needs pass the WP:GNG to be included in a list. — X96lee15 (talk) 15:44, 7 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep and trout per Dirtlawyer, Spanneraol and others. Rlendog (talk) 23:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep on a WP:POINTy nomination, per Dirtlawyer1. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:23, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
