Non-notable minor league baseball player and manager, fails WP:BASE/N. Not convinced sources pass WP:GNG. Penale52 (talk) 23:07, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Other sources include   , et cetera. There's over a thousand hits for his name and "baseball" in the 1940s and 1950s, so I'll stop here, most of it is local coverage from the teams he managed but it exists. He moved into flooring after baseball, and finished second in the Michigan State League in batting:   SportingFlyer  T · C  23:22, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep having thought about it, he does fail WP:NBASE and didn't receive much press after he retired (only a couple of articles) but was so heavily mentioned in sources during his playing career and managerial career that WP:GNG's probably met. There was nothing wrong with this nom, though. SportingFlyer  T · C  09:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Mild Keep/Comment Wikipedia generally doesn't consider minor league players as notable, unless they exhibit exceptional skill, from my understanding. Not sure if this is the case here. Oaktree b (talk) 00:54, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep This guy played and managed in the minors for over 20 years. The sources might not be online, but there's no doubt they're out there, since baseball received a lot of newspaper coverage back then. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 02:03, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * They are online, you just need an archival newspaper subscription. SportingFlyer  T · C  09:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - He does fail WP:NBASE as he never made the majors, and only played/managed in the minors. That being said, the sources highlighted by Flyer indicate that he received lots of newspaper coverage, especially from the local press for who he played/managed for. And after looking through them, I'm convinced there's enough newspaper coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. RolledOut34 // (talk) // (cont) 23:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
