Justin Jenkins (baseball)

This article is self-promotion, poorly sourced, and an orphan article. There is no notability for this topic &mdash; Wikipedia does not make a habit of creating articles for every former minor league baseball player ever. Clearly this topic is not notable, as zero articles link to it. Timneu22 (talk) 15:50, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Minor league career was brief and not notable; some sources are available on his performance in college, but for baseball, college-level play is generally not considered sufficient to satisfy notability. BRMo (talk) 03:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some of the nom's rationale is questionable (we should never delete a notable article due to lack of sourcing or inbound links, for example), but Mr. Jenkins is not particularly notable by the standards of minor league baseball, and while his college career was moderately distinguished, I don't think it's enough (I would typically look for a conference Player of the Year award or a national honor such as the Golden Spikes Award for a player with no professional honors - All-American is a bit below that.). -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 00:16, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
