 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASE/N. Played in the U.S. minor leagues, and was signed to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, but never played in a regular season Nippon Professional Baseball game. Penale52 (talk) 23:21, 29 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep at the very least redirect ToHiroshima Toyo Carp as reliable statistics of his stats aren't readily available.  IT does say he pitched for the team.  He did play though as he was the subject of controversy  Upon further look he serves as a coach head coach for the Dominican National Team during the Pan American Games    He was scouted by the Yankees. , was the subject of tampering by the Boston Red Sox  and other places  BlackAmerican (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Again, it makes no sense to redirect to a team where he is not on the roster.. and yes NPB statistics are readily available. Getting scouted is not notable, lots of people get scouted, playing in the Japanese minor leagues is not notable, being the subject of "controversy" can help with notability but the controversy here was fairly mild and didn't lead to any substantial articles about him. Playing in the Pan Am Games has occasionally been considered acceptable for inclusion, barely, by some, but thats not been clear cut.. coaching on the other hand is not.

 * Delete per Spanneraol. There is no reason to redirect to a team he longer plays for. Lepricavark (talk) 15:04, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
