Fails WP:ATHLETE (or at least the common interpretation of it with respect to Minor League baseball players) as low-level Minor League player. Majorclanger (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete !vote changed to delete at 13:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC), see below Neutral at this point, leaning toward Keep though.   !vote changed again to merge at 06:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC), see below  I'm no expert on baseball, but as I understand it, Minor League baseball is professional, and this satisfies WP:ATHLETE, which says an athlete is notable if they "have competed at the fully professional level of a sport."  If there's some consensus regarding minor league baseball that I'm unaware of, let me know. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 12:32, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know how much "force" is holds, but WPBB/N effectively states what seems to be the consensus. Majorclanger (talk) 13:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, that seems fair enough. I've found three stories where he recieves significant coverage, but I don't feel like all of these are reliable, and there doesn't seem to be enough of them to warrant an article.  Section 7 of the Wikiproject Baseball notability guidelines you just posted mentions the possibility of adding a small section in an article along the lines of Minnesota Twins minor league players, but I can't seem to find one for the San Diego Padres.  With this in mind, I'm going to change my !vote to Delete, although I would prefer a Merge if an appropriate page can be found. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:18, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Ah, Thanks! In that case, I'll shift my position again. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 06:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
