This editor is an elder resident of Cranston, Rhode Island. Although I do not know the subject personally nor, have I ever met the subject. I assure you that this subject is considered a legend within the sports community of Cranston and also in Rhode Island. His athletic accomplishments nearly 50 years later, are still spoken of and used for comparisons for other promising athletes to aspire. Subject has been the recipient of much Notability. In accordance with the guidelines established by Wikipedia under the reference titled - Wikipedia : Notability ( sports ). Please consider the following material posted by Wikipedia : GENERAL NOTABILITY GUIDELINES : * " Reliable "- Means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editor's evaluating Notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability - indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus before proposing or nominating an article for deletion or offering an opinion based on Notability in a deletion discussion, editor's are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search. In conclusion, as previously stated, the aforementioned information of Notability was referenced from the Wikipedia manual. I firmly believe that the Providence Journal, Cranston Herald, www. internet media sources, Wikipedia, Snipview, City of Cranston, Rhode Island, City of Providence Rhode Island, should all be considered as reliable, suitable, independent sources of Notability.Lilrhodybb (talk) 06:11, 25 September 2016 (UTC) — Lilrhodybb (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete, it's hard to fail NSPORTS, but this one appears to.  Montanabw (talk) 22:11, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ""Maintain Article Posting, DO NOT delete"" Extreme high levels of achievement ascertained in State of Rhode Island. Numerous records of performance achieved and unique status levels accomplished.


 * Do NOT Remove -Do NOT Delete - Keep Posting *. Awayoflifebball80 (talk) 22:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC) Subject has a high level of credibility, accomplishments and Notability. In reviewing entire Subject's Wikipedia article a highly sufficient level of Notability is recognized. The one Notable achievement by this Subject that just totally brings my admiration to another level is the Rhode Island Baseball record established for Strike out's by a pitcher in a game. Subject pitched a Perfect Game in which, 20 out of the 21 outs in the game where recorded via STRIKEOUT'S. That is an amazing 95%. As an avid admire of Baseball, I have never come across such an achievement. In all forms of organized Baseball history,weather it be from Little League to Major League, I feel very confident in claiming that this level of accomplishment has very seldom occurred. An example of Notability without question. Do NOT Delete.Awayoflifebball80 (talk) 22:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - OK, so obviously we have some sock/meat puppetry here, but there's also something strange about the history of this article. It was created by an SPA about an Edward Laborio that looks an awful lot like a hoax. A few bits of similar text about a magnificent philanthropist and seemingly nothing verifiable. Then in 2013 a now-blocked sock puppet of a paid editor just hijacked the page and turned it into an article on this Edward Laborio. Weird. That's not to say this Laborio is a hoax -- there look to be enough sources to verify some of the information, but not enough to show notability, but the number of puppets coming out to try to keep it, suggests that perhaps this paid editor is still active. See Sockpuppet investigations/Eragon.raju/Archive. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 23:38, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If you look at the history, there are three with the edit summary "Created page...." The deletion log shows that the first two versions were about the philanthropist and deleted under A7. The third version was the current subject and was deleted by prod but then restored by when it was contested. What appears to have happened is that he accidentally restored all three deleted versions. As the previous versions about the philanthropist were speedy deleted and no one has contested that, that part of the edit history can be ignored. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:06, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Aha. Thanks. Striking part of my comment above so as not to distract from the unresolved issues. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 14:20, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article appears to be about a fairly unaccomplished baseball player who flamed out at the lower levels of the minor leagues and never sniffed the majors. Some minor accomplishments in his hometown do not satisfy wikipedia's guidelines.. and despite the editor above (the creator of the article) claiming that the subject has lots of notability he has not been able to place any of these so called sources into the article to establish notability.The sources actually in the article are not formatted properly and thus dont lead to the urls that might establish anything.
