Don Bacon

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Potentially non-notable minor league player/manager. He did however lead a team to a championship and won an award, so they may establish notability. it's up to you. Alex (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a tough one. Weak delete just because I don't want to give old-timers a pass. There were plenty of non-notable baseball players before the internet, and just because their articles aren't promotional doesn't make them notable. That said, if there's some recognition of this player, or some other claim, I'd change my mind, and in any case I'd really hope the original creator gets an email version of this article, or maybe a userspace one (if appropriate).

 * Redirect to George Weston Foods, since they own the Don brand of small goods that produce, among other things, bacon. Handschuh-talk to me 13:50, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Accomplishments seem notable to me.--Soccersunshine (talk) 15:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Manager of the year and youngest manager do it for me, and they've been properly referenced. Yeah, more sources would be nice, but we're talking about a career before the internet. If he's not deemed notable enough for an article of his own, at least merge some of this information into the history of the teams he managed.-- Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  23:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable accomplishments. Spanneraol (talk) 15:50, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
