Harold Funk

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined PROD with a reason that sounds to me similar to Nixon's secret plan to win the Vietnam War ("I'm de-prodding this because I have a lead that might indicate that he was on the Cardinals' roster for the 1928 World Series.") Uh, no Alex, he was not. If you're not serious, that's pretty disruptive. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:46, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

I saw a picture of the 1928 World Series team that listed Hal Funk as a member. I just checked again and now it is listed only as "Funk." See here: Alex (talk) 00:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Forums are not a reliable source. B Ref makes no mention of a "Funk". – Muboshgu (talk) 00:20, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Baseball Reference wouldn't have listed him anyway if he was on the roster but didn't play. Alex (talk) 01:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If he was on the roster and didn't play, that doesn't pass BASE/N. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. Not enough for notability, but some biographical details of later life can be found here.

 * Delete .. clearly this guy did not play for the Cards in 1928.. don't be silly... He was in their farm system that year so he could have been around for a photograph but he isnt notable enough for an article. Spanneraol (talk) 14:45, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE, couldn't find much to meet WP:GNG. Secret account 01:29, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. All I found were routine listings indicating that, yes, he was a minor leaguer. I don't really consider the possibility that he was in a World Series dugout relevant, because WP:ATHLETE is just a rule-of-thumb and actual evidence of notability is absent. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:45, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
