The result was delete. I think the argument about UNDUE weight is persuasive enough not to close as merge. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:14, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Gaedele

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Baseball player who never made it past the AA level (and even at the AA level, he only played 67 games) His great uncle Eddie Gaedel is quite famous in the baseball world as the smallest player ever to appear in a Major League Baseball game. (If you don't know the story, the article is a fun read) But of course, notability is not inherited and Kyle Gaedele does not meet the requirements of WP:NBASE.

 * Delete Fails WP:NBASE. Smattering of the traditional minor league baseball player coverage, but no indication that he's notable. SportingFlyer  T · C  22:11, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NBASE. Onel 5969  TT me 22:48, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge any relevant, worthwhile, and referenced information into Eddie Gaedel (he already has a paragraph in that article so might have this one covered), Chicago Dogs, and Ottawa (independent pro baseball), as appropriate; and Delete or Redirect to Eddie Gaedel. It seems like there's information here that is suitable for these articles, although undeserving of a standalone article. ~EdGl   talk  01:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I did consider the possibility of a merge but I feel that the paragraph about Kyle Gaedele in the Eddie Gaedel article is giving him undue importance. It's a fairly random connection. After all Eddie was never a true baseball player so using a baseball connection with his grandnephew is like connecting, say, a notable opera singer with a grandnephew who is a non-notable football player.
