Matt Clement

 * Delete ~ is this chap a worthy enough entry - he looks like just another an obscure American Sportsman. Is he big enough to interest the rest of the world? Brookie 15:47, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC) Okay - I give up - I'm now with the Average Earthman below! Brookie 17:52, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A Google search for "Matt Clement" baseball gets 40,800 hits. 1. Clement has paid seven years of major league baseball, was paid a salary of $6 million in 2005 and the World Series champs the Boston Red Sox have signed him as a starting pitcher for next season. 2 He clearly passes my test of notability for baseballers. I am an Aussie btw. Capitalistroadster 17:27, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak - But is there is any real interest outside the USA (apart from Capitalistroadster)? Still looks weak to me Brookie 20:08, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC) See above
 * Brookie, at the moment it looks like you've made multiple votes, one delete and one "weak" (weak what is unclear?) If you change your vote, please use or around the start of the previous vote, and or at the end, to make it clear that it's been superseded . Samaritan 22:09, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable athlete. No Guru 20:46, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * This Canadian non-sports-fan votes a definite keep. Samaritan 21:56, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and Brookie, knock off the anti-Americanism. RickK 22:55, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC) - *It's not anti-Americanism (I actually like the Yanks)- it's just the girly-game thing - see Average Earthman below! Brookie
 * Based on the entirely unscientific basis that I've heard of him even sitting in baseball-less Aberdeen, he's probably fairly notable as baseball players go - I doubt I could name another four without having to start on dead ones. So I guess that's a sign for keep. Shimgray 00:25, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia is going to become the world's largest directory of sportspeople, and if you don't like that don't visit any of the articles. Philip 02:46, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep, notable sports figure. Gamaliel 02:49, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. An important baseball player. Indrian 06:05, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm English, and even though I insist he's playing a glorified girls' game, he's still clearly a significant player for a significant team in a significant league playing a glorified girls' game. Average Earthman 11:36, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Duh, keep. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 04:41, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
