Ken Deal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable minor league baseball figure. Fails WP:BASE/N and WP:GNG. "Being a coach of a future Hall of Famer at some point" is not mentioned in WP:BASE/N. Alex (talk) 21:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Ken Deal satisfies general notability guidelines, on the grounds that he held the Minor League Baseball record for most strikeouts in a single season for 36 years, striking out 275 in 1947 before Dwight Gooden broke the mark in 1983.

 * Keep per Vodello. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Typical minor leaguer coverage. I only see fairly trivial mentions of the former strikeout record, as here. If substantial sourcing from WP:RS sources can be found, I could be persuaded otherwise.--Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Former holder of a notable record, championship-winning manager. I'd like to see more than one championship for a full Keep; I'm not 100% sure this should be kept, but I am 100% sure it shouldn't be deleted, so, here we are. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:08, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
