 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

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 (add quotation marks, using them in the external link messed up the code) brings up passing mention in articles about the team, no significant coverage of the subject, which means he fails the General notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 17:22, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

 * comment player does not pass Notability (sports) (unless NYP Mid-season all-star is being selected for an all-star game, which I don't think it is) which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That is, in fact, an All-Star game. Specifically, the All-Star game of the New York-Penn League. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
