 * Delete and move José Capellán (right-handed pitcher) to José Capellán. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article itself summarizes why subject is not notable. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. SFGate was a two sentences mention of Capellan. The MLB.com reference is directly devoted to Capellan but says something like this: "To make room for Capellan on the 40-man roster lefty Alexander Smit was sent outright to Class A Sarasota." I'm not really familiar with baseball. I thought there are only 10 players in it for each team. But 40? Red Sox might be famous. But if Capellan is the 40th guy in the team, he won't be notable unless he plays like Michael Jordan. PolicarpioM (talk) 08:38, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * See 40-man roster for info on baseball rosters. They have 25 guys active most of the year, the other guys are basically kept in reserve in the minors. Spanneraol (talk) 12:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
