 * Keep Gates is a well known college baseball two-way player. There have been many reliable documents written about Gates and this should be kept. Thanks, UNC2 (talk) 01:16, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Care to elaborate on how it meets notability criteria? GPL93 (talk) 17:46, 1 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASE due to limited sourcing. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep' - I wish people here would use their brains. Some know of him and he's young, so he's notable. The article will only grow as his career does. I thought this was a space for everyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eurugby54 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * We don't WP:CRYSTALBALL. Secondly, the "some people know him" rationale doesn't mean GNG is established, you have to prove through reliable sources that the subject is notable enough to merit an article. This is especially the case in baseball, where even being a high draft pick (which Gates is currently not) is not a guarantee of ever making the Majors or otherwise meeting the standards of WP:NBASE.

 * Delete clearly doesn't pass either WP:NBASEBALL or WP:NCOLLATH. Onel 5969  TT me 22:07, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
