Gareth Morgan (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable minor league player. I'd be okay with a merge but it keeps being reverted for some reason. Looks like it might be a COI single purpose account too. Wizardman 03:23, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I feel that there are significant firsts that Gareth Morgan has achieved in Canadian baseball and amateur baseball that he is deserved of his own article. All references are valid. Siting C.1 and C.2 for AfD. The article can be improved with more content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gkcmorgan (talk • contribs) 04:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC) — Gkcmorgan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * KEEP
 * Delete or merge as per policy WP:BASEBALL/N. Article seems a promo at this point, written by WP:SPA account and concerns for WP:COI.  The  sourced biographical material for this budding young athlete can be merged to the article of the minor league team.Gaff (talk) 04:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm gonna say delete here instead of merge primarily because a merge can be undone too easily and the article has way too many COI concerns, considering the user name of the primary author. Spanneraol (talk) 05:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since subject doesn't meet criteria for WP:BASEBALL/N, notability must be based on WP:GNG. Of the citations currently appearing in the article, only two sources (Toronto Sun and CBC) are appear to be independent of the subject; the other cited sources appear to be promotional websites of some sort. In my opinion, that's not sufficient coverage to satisfy GNG. BRMo (talk) 03:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * KEEP. You guys have a lot of work to do. Look at all the kids drafted this year into the minors that have articles. Don't see why this obsession with Gareth Morgan. Most did nothing more than played well in high school. Those 'promotional' sites referred to are the largest amateur baseball sites in North America and recognized by anyone familiar with baseball.Gkcmorgan (talk) 04:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC) — Gkcmorgan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete. Insufficient coverage from reliable sources to support notability.  B E C K Y S A Y L E S  00:54, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
