Brandon Jacobs (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable minor league player, sources available are all routine and don't pass GNG. Wizardman 02:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * After reading through Alex's sources, I'm striking my deletion request since in his case the sourcing is actually fairly strong, which is generally not the case for minor leaguers even today. Wizardman  00:08, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable subject, fails GNG. Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I had added some articles as external links, but I think there's more coverage out there, perhaps enough for GNG. I can't really search right now though because I'm in a hotel with spotty WiFi. When I have time, I'll look deeper, but I'd appreciate it if someone else could give a thorough search for this individual in the meantime. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG. Didn't see anything beyond the routine coverage that any good recruit or any non-elite minor leaguer receives. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 17:00, 13 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. It fails the notability guidelines and playing in the minor leagues is not notable. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 01:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes GNG. The stuff in the "external links" section of the page is enough, but there is also, , , , , , , and there is more. He also received considerable coverage on Scout.com. Add that to , , , , . Alex (talk) 05:36, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Could have half the sources and still pass GNG pretty easily.--Yankees10 06:43, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment If the long list of sources above are all so great, why is this article still so lousy? The article is just a recap of basic sports transactions and now-worthless prospects listings. The page is all but useless. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Bbny, have you ever considered actually contributing to Wikipedia for once by, say, improving the article, rather than trying to delete everything that doesn't fit in your small scope of what is "notable"? Alex (talk) 23:54, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * This. What matters is the potential, not just the current state. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep per Alex. I had found some sources, and add in those that Alex found and this guy meets GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources found and cited by Alex appear to demonstrate that Jacobs passes WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 20:21, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as a WP:GNG pass per Alex's sources. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:11, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - adequate sources to demonstrate GNG. Rlendog (talk) 19:50, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
