 * Comment Why did you create it if you were going to delete it? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 17:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I've done a few minor league managers but upon further review some may not be notable enough for Wikipedia. Alex (talk) 21:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Why not just use G7 Speedy deletion? Mrathel (talk) 17:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, well in that case, I would have to say delete. I was just confused because you seem to make a pretty good case in your rational:). But I have done a search of ("Bennie Bedford" + baseball) and got 37 hits, none notable. I would have to say its not looking likely that there will be enough sources to create an article that meets notability standards. Mrathel (talk) 04:43, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Because I would rather have the opinions of multiple people before a subject is deleted, rather than the opinions of just one person (he who decides whether to delete it or not). Alex (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are two cited sources—a statistics site and an unreliable wiki. That's not sufficient to establish notability for a minor league baseball player; see WP:BASE/N and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. BRMo (talk) 03:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I am constantly reading that Baseball Reference is an unreliable Wiki, when that is in fact erroneous. In fact, that site often has correct information while Wikipedia lacks the correct information. Alex (talk) 06:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My comment that the baseball-reference wiki is "unreliable" is not a comment on the accuracy any particular information contained in the wiki, which may or may not be accurate. The comment refers to the fact that wikis are self-published and so—according to Wikipedia's verifiability policy— do not qualify as reliable sources and "are largely not acceptable" as sources for Wikipedia articles .  Please note that Wikipedia itself also is not considered to be an acceptable source (see WP:CIRCULAR). BRMo (talk) 01:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
