 * Delete. Never competed at a professional level, and never competed in a high-level amateur championship. Nothing to indicate that the subject meets any standard of notability. Steamroller Assault (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete He did play professionally, however he wasn't notable. 34-36, 4.50 ERA in the minors...nothing notable here. Alex (talk) 04:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: No significant coverage.  Wknight94  talk  17:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Played in AAA for several seasons and there does seem to be significant coverage of him in relation to the Santana deal. Spanneraol (talk) 21:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. AAA participation doesn't seem to mesh with WP:ATHLETE, but 'significant coverage' might help for other notability standards. Can you provide sources for this coverage? I'm also inclined to think that 'significant' probably would include information outside the simple mention of his name in a trade agreement. Steamroller Assault (talk) 23:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * AAA is definitely "fully professional"... players earn enough at that level to make a living, thus it passed athlete. I've always maintained that having at least a couple of AAA seasons is enough for notability. A google search produced several sources that discussed Camp in the context of the Santana trade, giving more than just his name. Spanneraol (talk) 00:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Understood, and I can see the sources. But, is this a case of WP:ONEEVENT? Even this source mentions his obscurity. If the article is kept on the basis of these sources, it seems proper to have this trade and its newsworthiness (Camp never makes it to the majors vs Santana's ultimate success) mentioned somewhere in the lead statement. But I'm beginning to think that a redirect to Johan Santana (where Camp is mentioned) may be the way to go. Steamroller Assault (talk) 01:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Even AAA ball doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE in my view. But regardless, I don't see him passing WP:BASEBALL/N. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
