Non-notable baseball figure. Leading a minor league team to a championship as manager does not make one notable. Lack of coverage makes him non-notable. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:21, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I found not a single reference from the Sporting News archives, the most likely place to find rare coverage of notable minor league players and managers. Google news archives, zero results. He is mentioned in passing in a result on Google Books. Article's assertion of notability fails WP:BASE/N, and there is nothing to support WP:GNG.

 * Note The article's creator has flagged the article for rescue. However, it is quite odd, considering the article's creator was the first user to nominate this article for deletion at Articles for deletion/Bennie Brownlow. Why rescue what you brought to AFD earlier with zero references?  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 21:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC
 * Because Wikipedia is "just a game" to the article's creator. Closing admin may want to glance at Requests for comment/Alexsautographs. 00:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - my search results turned up exactly the same as Vodello's. Fails GNG, BASE/N, and there are no reliable sources in the article at this time. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  23:04, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - While I think we are often over-zealous in deleting minor leaguers from this era, this player never made the highest level of the minor leagues, and I have found virtually nothing about him in a search (apart from a quote from a player he managed in D-leagues). So I think deletion is appropriate here. Rlendog (talk) 20:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I tagged this for rescue on the off-chance that there are non-Internet/non-free/other sources that someone has access to that would make this notable, like with Red Snapp, for example. However, unless such sources are uncovered, I'm going with delete. It's a shame Paper of Record isn't free anymore. Alex (talk) 07:46, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
