Minor League Baseball player who has not played in any league higher than an AA (this year) and does not pass the drafted (with much consensus) WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines. There is debate within WP:Baseball about minor league players qualifying as "fully professional"

Good faith search brings up two hits this and this which are about the team not about the player, therefore not passing the general notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 16:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, for lack of notability. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable minor leaguer.-- Giants27 T/  C  17:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Concur as per above and per WP:MLB notability guidelines. Statistical sources alone do not establish notability for minor leaguers. Delete. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:16, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:ATHLETE.  black ngold29  20:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This individual appears to be pass WP:BIO. The above search for sources was only for the past month. This Google News Archive search returns many more results. Cunard (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * My mistake, the references need to be checked to make sure they are substantial coverage, not just a passing mention.--kelapstick (talk) 04:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * comment player does not pass Notability (sports) which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. I've added a couple more sources to the article, but I'm not finding much to show notability. In looking through the first half dozen pages of hits in the gnews search, I did come up with a couple of possibilities behind paywalls talking about his 18th round selection by the Giants (he didn't sign and was drafted again a year later), but I really think we'd need more than that.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Statistics or brief mentions in articles about minor league teams do not constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources," as required by WP:N. BRMo (talk) 01:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
