Delete not a major league player, but essentially a trainer - fails WP:BIO. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. As there are no reliable sources cited, I am persuaded that the article does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 18:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC) Keep now that it is properly sourced. Stifle (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have now added two reliable, independent sources.--Fabrictramp (talk) 21:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Did get as high as AAA, which many (but not all) people at WP:MLB consider to be a fully professional league. Add to that the Palo Alto Daily News article, and I think WP:N is satisfied. (Question: does anyone know the relationship between this Bill Duplissea and the San Mateo County lobbyist of the same name?)--Fabrictramp (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the lobbyist is his father. They both are from San Mateo, their photos show a definite family resemblance and I just read a bio of the Royals coach that says his father is also named Bill. Spanneraol (talk) 00:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I was fairly certain they weren't the same person, but it's not a common name. :) --Fabrictramp (talk) 00:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The Bullpen catcher is considered to be part of the team coaching staff and he is listed among the Royals coaches on their website. Major League Baseball coaches are certainly notable under the current guidelines. Spanneraol (talk) 23:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Major league coaches are notable. Kinston eagle (talk) 01:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
