 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Minor League Baseball player who has not played in any league higher than an AA (this year) and does not pass the drafted (with much consensus) WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines. There is debate within WP:Baseball about minor league players qualifying as "fully professional"

Good faith search (add quotes, keeping them messes up code in external link) brings up passing mention in articles about the team, no significant coverage of the subject, which means he fails the General notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 18:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete and merge. There are no references for verifiability, and the subject is not notable. Per tedder's comments above, the contents could and should be merged with the Colorado Rockies. The Earwig (User 19:46, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

 * My mistake, the references need to be checked to make sure they are substantial coverage, not just a passing mention. That article doesn't look like it is independent, looks like a team site.--kelapstick (talk) 04:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * comment player does not pass Notability (sports) which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. High ranked prospect by Baseball America who is getting some buzz. I've added a number of refs, and there are quite a few more I didn't add because they didn't expand the article or were behind paywalls.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  16:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
