Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Millay


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. This has already been relisted twice, and although there are 2 keep !votes and no delete !votes other than the nomination, the rationales are pretty weak relative to our guidelines so with only 2 I don't see a real consensus to keep or delete.

Doesn't pass GNG or ATHLETE. Did a look for some news sources to confirm the facts in the article and couldn't find anything. Wizardman 15:33, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Admittedly, I am unfamiliar with the standards for GNG & ATHLETE. If you searched online for facts, I am certain you found very little. The source I noted in the reference section is a paper from 1979. If you would like a scanned copy of the article, I would be happy to email it to you or post it to wiki (if I can remember how).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep This depends entirely on whether Wikipedia has a place for baseball trivia. As a player he was utterly unremarkable. But it's not about the player, it's about the rarity of the event. I found it very enjoyable. It would be a great DYK. – Margin1522 (talk) 18:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep The real question is not about baseball trivia, but whether Joe Millay feats in three sports in the same year (a 300 in bowling, an ace in golf, pitching a no-hit, no-run game for a professional baseball team) have received significant coverage. In electronic sources the answer is "not so much"; however, it seems likely that print sources, were they to be investigated, might provide that significant coverage. It is possible to think of dismissing this article under WP:1EVENT, but this is really three events, and we don't have the problem of Joe Millay being a living person. All told, I would keep the article for reference development. --Bejnar (talk) 21:38, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
