NN baseball player, he's just a guy who happened to pitch for the Indians, wasn't even any good. No assertion of notability, no reliable sources to establish notability. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 01:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although WP:SPORT isn't policy, I agree with it that a person who has participated in Major League baseball, as well as a full season of AAA Baseball, is notable. In addition, he satisfies the criteria of athletes for WP:BIO: "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a fully professional league." Both the Major League and AAA Baseball are fully professional leagues. Redfarmer (talk) 02:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Do a Newsbank search. You'll find at least a half-dozen full-length newspaper articles primarily about him. I cited a few in the Wikipedia entry. Zagalejo^^^ 02:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Established consensus, if he's pitched in the majors, he's notable.--Cube lurker (talk) 04:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:SPORT. Maxamegalon2000 06:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, even as a non-American, I know that Major League Baseball is the top baseball league in the world, and players appearing in it are notable. Lankiveil (talk) 12:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Keep, almost all major leaguers are notable. Article has been sourced to assert notability now. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per overwhelming consensus on WP:Inherent notability for professional athletes who have played at the highest level of their sport, even if it was just six games as in this case. The sources added to the article only further establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 17:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as all major league baseball players are notable. 11kowrom 16:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 11kowrom (talk • contribs)
 * Keep notable. Quality of play does not warrant a deletion either. Rhino131 (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
