 * Comment - He has been a major league scout. That may be an avenue towards some notability, although WP:ATH doesn't address scouts.  He did receive some coverage in this book . Rlendog (talk) 02:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:WPBB/N--a sub-heading of WP:ATH may leave some room for interpretation here, particularly item 5: 'Have served as a Major League Baseball umpire on a regular league staff.' The meaning of 'regular league staff' is rather ambiguous; does this mean any umpiring/front office position with a club in the Major Leagues, or only in the MLB/AL/NL front offices (Clubs excluded)?  Scouts generally serve a fairly important front office role. If being a scout for one of the MLB clubs would satisfy this, then WP:ATH is satisfied. Aeternitas827 (talk) 09:07, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete being a scout isn't a claim to notability, the book Rlendog mentioned only have him in two sentences. Secret account 04:10, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I don't really want to say "Delete" but there is not much there right now. Add some more about his credentials and I say keep. Alex (talk) 04:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't have any independant reliable sources with significant coverage about him. Fails to meet WP:GNG regardless of what WP:NSPORTS covers or doesn't cover. -11:37, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Delete As much as I want this player kept, the subject does not meet WP:NSPORTS or general notability guidelines. It looks like he's been a scout for close to 20 years. I could write a sizeable article on the subject, but it would still fail to be notable enough. Vodello (talk) 18:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per above.  Wknight94 talk 12:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
