Jimmy Sanders (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Because he was solely a minor league figure during his career, he may not be notable enough for an article. He does have a couple things going for him in his favor, however: 1) the amount of time he played in the minors, and the statistical accomplishments he racked up (2,000+ hits and 350+ stolen bases is a lot, no matter what level you are playing at) and 2) he also managed for a fairly notable amount of time. You decide whether he stays or goes. Alex (talk) 18:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver  seren C 19:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added some sources, one of which discusses the United States minor league champion award. Because of that and the other things he did, I feel that he meets notability standards. Silver  seren C 19:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability was attained by getting the 1934 award. When there were only 16 major league teams, minor league ball tended to get more coverage than it does now. Mandsford (talk) 21:36, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
