This guy seems not to be a famous homerun homer, article is patent original research, no reliable sources, no sources, no links, no internal links, not verified NewAtThis (talk) 05:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Keep First ghit verifies that he played in the major leagues *and* there's actually RS coverage minus the one military records link, they're all him. Newatthis' Drive by AFds are getting old.

 * Keep. Three seasons in major league baseball is enough to establish notability under WP:BIO. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, playing in the majors meets WP:BIO. Nominator is advised, again, to be sure to review the relevant guidelines before making AFD a new hobby. --Dhartung | Talk 06:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Everything in the present article can be verified by one of the many baseball reference sites across the internet. Major Leaguers have long been considered notable, because there is almost always enough information available to write at least a couple of paragraphs about them. Heck, maybe a month ago, we were able to expand an article on a guy who played one game in, like, 1877. Zagalejo^^^ 07:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as subject unquestionably meets BIO and this nomination is part of a recent pattern of improper AfD noms by NewAtThis. - Dravecky ( talk! ) 01:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
