Article deleted by PROD in 2012, then recreated in 2015. Subject wasn't notable then and isn't now. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BASE/N. All sources are of the WP:ROUTINE variety, no significant coverage. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NBASE. subject participated in a major international competition as a member of a national team.--TM 17:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * , my understanding of WP:BASEBALL consensus is that the World Baseball Classic qualification is not a major international competition. Main WBC only. Am I wrong? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:12, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non notable as a minor league player or manager.. the WBC qualifiers do not qualify as a major international tournament. Spanneraol (talk) 19:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Who says? WP:NBASE specifically list the WBC as a major international event. I see no reason why qualifiers would not be included.--TM 21:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The qualification is not actually the tournament... by definition it is a qualification tournament.. a separate thing... and involves many nations that dont make the tournament and have no chance of making it.. opening it up to all of them is really silly.. as those players are not going to get the level of coverage that WP:BASE is talking about. Spanneraol (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * By definition, the qualifying tournament is still part of the WBC. It is not a separate event from the WBC but a facet of it that occurs prior to the main tournament.--00:16, 14 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not pass notability guidelines for athletes. Reywas92Talk 01:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't pass GNG. The WBC qualifier isn't part of the WBC any more than Olympic qualifiers are part of the Olympics. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 15:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:NBASE. WBC qualifiers are not part of the tournament itself, but a chance to perform your way into the tournament, much like trying out for a team does not mean that you were a member of said team. Best, GPL93 (talk) 01:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 'Delete not even close to being notable, but so are so many footballers we have articles on. We need to reconsider our absurdly low notability guidelines for athletes.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
