 * Delete There's no claim of notability anywhere in the article. He played one year of professional baseball, worked as a part-time scout, and now holds baseball clinics. I hate to beat a dead horse, but if multiple national articles about 30-year baseball executive Keith Lieppman weren't deemed sufficient for purposes of GNG, then this isn't even close. Even if he was featured in the ESPN show rather than make a passing appearance, one-off actors and actresses usually don't pass GNG, so why would this be different? I tend to be an inclusionist, but there needs to be more consistency in AfD voting. (By the way, for Alex to claim this guy is notable on the same day Alex nominated Matt Harrington for deletion is the very definition of trolling. Again, enough is enough.) — NY-13021 (talk) 01:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I just discovered more nonsense from Alex. In this AfD, he's claiming a Los Angeles Times article helps establish notability for Jethro McIntyre. I clicked over to it and found that this very same Los Angeles Times article mentions Tom Kotchman, the topic of another pending AfD, multiple times, yet Alex voted to delete Kotchman, who has far more citations. What gives? I feel like I'm watching the online version of a three-year-old having a temper tantrum. (For the record, I don't think that particular L.A. Times article establishes notability for either person, but the lack of consistency is strange and unexplained.) — NY-13021 (talk) 01:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Buddy...you're the one raging so much. I can see the veins popping from your neck. I can tell your blood pressure rises every time I make an appearance. If by chance I were "trolling", then I'm doing it right, because you're falling right into my supposed troll trap. Alex (talk) 11:58, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not raging at all. I'm just tired of you violating policies and wasting our time. As usual, I noticed you didn't address my comment above, just like you haven't explained your bizarre and inconsistent "logic" in the Tom Kotchman and Richard Klaus AfDs. — NY-13021 (talk) 12:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Super duper incredibly strong without a doubt keep Served as a full-time scout for decades, featured in notable television broadcasts, featured in length in a book. Alex (talk) 12:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nonsense. He wasn't "featured" in anything. He was one of 49 people interviewed in the 45-minute Frank Robinson episode, and one of 39 people interviewed in the 45-minute Curt Flood episode. If this is the new standard, anyone who ever appeared on a news show is now notable for Wiki purposes. — NY-13021 (talk) 13:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
