Non-notable minor leaguer who doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE and not enough sources to establish notability. Just being drafted is not notable. Giants27 T/  C  02:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Chris Nelson (baseball) meets the criteria for WP:Baseball. It also meets the criteria for Wikiproject:Baseball. Please to remove the deletion template. For more information on WP:Baseball notability, see the large fuss I stirred up, as listed in the previous messages on this TALK page. Gjr rodriguez (talk) 02:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I'm not quite convinced that AA is a fully professional league (it's borderline to me), but I've added links to a couple of short articles about him. These are enough to push me over to the weak keep camp.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  14:30, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making the page ungeneric, like the rest of pages the creator creates.-- Giants27 T/  C  20:00, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Colorado Rockies minor league players per usual consensus. Secret account 16:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as standalone article, as Nelson is notable. He was a first-round draft pick and a minor league All-Star, and has received substantial media coverage (such as this article, for example, or his profiles in the last three years' worth of Baseball America annual prospect guides). -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 19:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as a 1st round pick.  young  american  (wtf?) 19:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Week keep only because he is on the Rockies 40 man roster--Yankees10 00:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - He's a former first-round pick, a top prospect with accolades and he's on the 40-man roster. Plus, he has my name.► Chris Nelson Holla! 01:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I've seen this before so I'll use it here, I'd like to WITHDRAW this AfD.-- Giants27 T/  C  01:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Chris Nelson was on the verge of making the opening day 25 man roster for the Rockies this year, so for that fact alone, I think its a keeper...a weak one, but a keeper nevertheless. Mandermagic (talk) 06:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - My thinking is this - in any sport, high draft picks get paid big money and carry with them certain expectations. Therefore, they are notable enough whether or not they pan out. If they succeed and become stars, that's the story. But if they don't and become busts, that is the story, and a story worth telling as well.► Chris Nelson Holla! 15:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Yeah I agree with Chris, I think any first round pick is notable enough to have articles--Yankees10 22:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
