 * Keep so are we nominating articles now who "may" not be notable. If your not even sure if someone is notable or not, maybe you shouldn't be nominating them. A good rule of thumb is to only nominate articles that you "know" aren't notable, not ones that you suspect are not notable. How do you know if they are notable or not? There are notability guidelines here on wikipedia that explain exactly which types are articles are notable and which are not. When you nominate an article, you should refer to a specific guideline that you feel that the article violates so that the people discussing the topic can have some frame of reference as to how the article could be fixed or whether it is impossible to be fixed. In regards to this specific article, the notability of bullpen catchers has already been addressed here. Kinston eagle (talk) 15:14, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Kingston Eagle, your condescension and overall attitude are truly unnecessary. Nor is your use of copypasta. Thanks. Alex (talk) 18:26, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Bullpen catchers are part of the coaching staff. He is notable. Spanneraol (talk) 18:45, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs a cleanup though. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as weak rationale and honestly suggest that the nominator take a wikibreak. We don't know why you're on this dismissive crusade on your own articles, and we don't care. Please take a break from this site instead of slapping old baseball players in the face. Vodello (talk) 04:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I appreciate your concern, I really do. However, I have explained why I am nominating these before, but I will explain again: I was on a crusade to write an article for every read link I came across on the pages I had previously written - and that included many of these managers. What many "newcomers" to the baseball deletion process don't realize is that many similar players like these were nominated before, and the vast majority ended up being deleted. I take it that they do not understand that "professional" baseball has levels, and that player A - who spent all his time in a lower league - is not as notable as player B, who spent his time in a higher league. Why, pray tell, do you suggest I take a Wiki Break? It's quite rude to suggest such a thing. Alex (talk) 05:49, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
