This article fails notability requirements. The subject is a former minor league baseball player whose career consisted of 43 games played in 1972-73. NatureBoyMD (talk) 20:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:BASE/N, espicially the sixth bulletin. Battleaxe9872 Talk 22:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge with Pittsburgh Pirates minor league players. That's what these pages were established for. Kinston eagle (talk) 01:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The Minor league player articles are for current minor leaguers.. This guy played 30 years ago. Spanneraol (talk) 03:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There is nothing on the page to indicate that it is only for current players. It only indicates that it is for Pittsburgh Pirates minor league players and that is what he was. Kinston eagle (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't be silly... do you really want that page to include everyone who played for five minutes on a rookie ball team? It's for current minor league prospects, if you want to add some clarification go ahead. Spanneraol (talk) 14:34, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't want to add clarification. You are the one who seems to want to limit the scope of the article. I'm just trying to reach a compromise to make the creator of the article as well as the deletion nominator happy. The article's stated purpose is for Pittsburgh Pirates minor league players and that is what he was. I don't appreciate you trying to belittle my honest opinion. Kinston eagle (talk) 15:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry.. I assumed you weren't being serious. Spanneraol (talk) 18:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - doesn't meet any of the Wikipedia notability criteria. BRMo (talk) 03:31, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A handful of games in rookie ball certainly doesnt make him notable. Spanneraol (talk) 18:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Even though those games were "boss"? :P --Muboshgu (talk) 16:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

"My argument of keeping my page is that I create this page for one reason to practice my page making skills, but also this page is doing no harm. I deleted the "boss" which was un needed but the page is all true facts and I can not see a valid reason for deletion.If you would like to contact me on the matter feel free to email me Hebner211@gmail.com. And by the way the guy your all talking about is my dad so I know what im talking about and what is on the page is all 100% true. (This is the Creator of the page {TrytoBall} Im still a little new to the Wikipedia Page Making) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trytoball (talk • contribs) 02:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else --Muboshgu (talk) 16:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not about if the information is true or not but if the subject is notable enough to have a wikipedia page. We dont think he is.. Though if you are writing a page about your dad then you suffer from a conflict of interest.. another reason for deletion. Spanneraol (talk) 02:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)


 * "Conflict of Interest" What does that change? And another question, I want to know what harm this does. The Information is true, I've seen more irrelevant pages than this and I can't think of a valid reason for this page to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trytoball (talk • contribs) 02:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Nobody is questioning whether or not the information is factual. This article doesn't meet WP:GNG.  As for practicing your editing, I suggest you use your sandbox.  You can make as long a biography of your father there as you please. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * See WP:COI for the wikipedia policy about editing articles that you have a personal connection with. Spanneraol (talk) 02:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)


 * " Ok Well I didnt think a small article of my father would cause so much trouble between a bunch of guys that can't let a page that (which i have still not been told how it is) is doing no harm. I would also like to say to Spanneraol that yes he only play 2 seasons (not "5 minutes" which is what you said he played for) but i would guess that is 2 seasons more than you have ever played in any pro sport. MHebner (talk) 02:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no wikipedia article about me either.. So? Spanneraol (talk) 02:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * All I'm saying is my dad is mentioned in my uncles and I thought it would be cool if my dad had one as well. And what i meant by that Spanneraol your making it sound like playing playing farm ball is not a big deal but I don't think you have an ounce of the talent my dad had. My Point is yes this article isn't that important at all but what harm is it doing having this article up. MHebner (talk) 02:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to Richie Hebner, an article about the subject's brother, where a small amount of material about him would seem to be appropriate. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 16:49, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a reliable source that verifies he was Richie's brother? I wouldn't support a merge if it's based on unverified information. BRMo (talk) 04:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect I'm sorry, but Dennis Hebner does not meet the general notability guidelines of this site. I am in favor of his name and professional career receiving a brief mention in Richie Hebner. A standalone article is not needed here. Vodello (talk) 17:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If merging was done instead of deleting I would really appreciate it. MHebner (talk) 18:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
