Mark Boyer Baseball

Delete as unverifiable. I've ran multiple searches using google, mlb.com and I find nothing on this player. I don't see he was drafted and ultimately the article states he didn't sign with the club anyways. I'm not sure that this counts towards notability. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:20, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete verifiable or not, the article doesn't really even make any claims of notability. Unless I've missed something, being selected in an MLB draft is not sufficient grounds for having an article here. Northern Antarctica (₵) 17:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article makes incorrect factual statements.. He was not drafted by the Rockies in the 2011 draft . All I can verify is that he did play in high school in 2008 but I can find no record of him after that. This should be an easy delete call. Spanneraol (talk) 17:09, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete On the first page of Google hits for ["Mark Boyer" Rockies OR baseball], I found a page claiming (I didn't go so far as to check if the source allows self-publication) that Mark Boyer played at Patriot high school.  I also looked at the link provided by Spanneraol for the list of Rockies drafts in 2011.  I've seen no indication of wp:notability, or reliable encyclopedic content to consider redirect and merge.  Fails WP:BLP.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:22, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
