Barney Lutz

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable individual. Never played, coached or managed at the major league level, meaning he fails WP:BASE/N. Scouts are not inherently notable and his case is especially weak as he did not receive any notable awards. The "Barney Lutz Memorial Award" is very minor, as there are exactly zero hits on Google News Archive and only three on regular Google (and they all are the prose found in the Lutz Wikipedia article). When you search "Barney Lutz Award," only four hits come up. It is just a WP:Run of the mill in-company piece of recognition, like an Employee of the Month award.

 * Comment The award may have four hits on google, but there are also at least three writeups of the award on The Sporting News. They covered the establishment of the award on October 14, 1967 p.15, covered it again on October 5, 1968, once more on November 14, 1970, all in several paragraphs and not passing mentions, including a photo provided with he winner being presented the award in the 1970 article. Neutral on the article at this time but leaning toward keep if I find a few more references  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 04:40, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep.. not everyone has an award named after him... has some solid references.. and a fairly accomplished career. Spanneraol (talk) 15:00, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Has some hits on Google Books. Combined with an award named after him, maybe there are sufficient offline sources about him.—Bagumba (talk) 09:26, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
