 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Minor League Baseball player who has not played in any league higher than an AA (this year) and does not pass the drafted (with much consensus) WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines. There is debate within WP:Baseball about minor league players qualifying as "fully professional"

Good faith search (add quotes, keeping them messes up code in external link) brings up passing mention in articles about the team, no significant coverage of the subject, which means he fails the General notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 23:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Minor leaguer who is not notable.-- Giants27 T/  C  23:36, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This individual appears to be pass WP:BIO. The above search for sources was only for the past month. This Google News Archive search returns many more results. Cunard (talk) 00:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * My mistake, the references need to be checked to make sure they are substantial coverage, not just a passing mention.--kelapstick (talk) 04:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Come back if/when "WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines" actually becomes a guideline. AfD hero (talk) 06:51, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and come back if Florentino makes it to the bigs. From the proposed guideline: "Minor league players, managers, coaches, executives, and umpires are not assumed to be inherently notable."  Not sure where the idea came about that AA players are entitled to their own page.  Mandsford (talk) 13:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * comment player does not pass Notability (sports) which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect somewhere. I've corrected an external link going to the wrong player, but I'm not turning up much more than passing mentions or stat pages for him.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  20:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Statistics or brief mentions in articles about minor league teams do not constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources," as required by WP:N. BRMo (talk) 18:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete minor leaguer who does not meet requirements according to WP:ATHLETE. Mandermagic (talk) 00:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
