Enrique "Kike" Calero

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article originally had no content, just a single external reference to The Baseball Cube, a statistics site, that showed he played a single season of rookie league ball. After the article was tagged for speedy deletion, the author supplied a ton of links, which I then used to flesh out the story of a player who played a single rookie league season, and was then released, and then sued because he couldn't go back and play college ball. The story was picked up by AP and then by lots of local papers, but with no follow on; not even so far as to report on the outcome of the lawsuit. Fails WP:ATHLETE. Falls flatly into WP:BLP1E.

 * Delete. Career minor league player who fails WP:ATHLETE. I don't see his lawsuit against the Astros as bringing him to the threshold of WP:BIO, especially since as WikiDan61 mentioned, news agencies didn't pick up on the outcome of the lawsuit (though I'm sure it could be easily found in searching court records). The article creator's username resembles the name of the subject, so one has to wonder if this article was created by Mr. Calero in an attempt to use Wikipedia as a soapbox. I should note that this person should not be confused with Kiko Calero, whose real first (personal) name is also Enrique, and who is also a Puerto Rican-born baseball player. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 18:29, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - The article creator's user page pretty much confirms that it is the same as the subject. Rlendog (talk) 14:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete pitched rookie ball again in 1996 for the Indians organization, but nothing else I found on a Google or HighBeam search (even of the lawsuit) in WP:GNG. Secret account 19:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I speedied this, new version still doesn't meet criteria. And isn't "kike" an offensive term in the US?  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, when pronounced as rhyming with "bike" it is an offensive slang term for Jews. I suspect that as a native Spanish speaker, this person would pronounce it "kee-kay", to rhyme with Enrique.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
