 * Delete Unsurprisingly for someone who never made the majors (thus failing Fails NBASE) is not notable. All-American of any sort, let alone second or third team, is not enough of an amateur accomplishment to merit keeping. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect Even with all the compensation picks I wasn't expecting a 57th pick to be a first rounder but Rlendog is correct that reidecting to that list is a proper AtD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - All American does meet NSPORT for college athletes, but not sure that should apply to 2nd or 3rd team, at least for baseball. I haven't checked coverage against GNG, but even if he fails this should not be deleted but rather redirected to List of San Diego Padres first-round draft picks.

 * Keep Satisfies WP:SPORTSPERSON, (the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition...) Significant coverage of a significant player who has also participated and won significant contests which were widely covered. Subject was on both the 2006 and 2007 OSU teams which won back to back NCAA Baseball National Championships at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, as well as the 2005 team which made it there and lost in two games. He was drafted by the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball with the 57th overall pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft.  Lubbad85   (☎) 22:42, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Arkansas Travelers - The article may meet WP:SPORTSPERSON, but the failure of meeting WP:NBASEBALL trumps that. The person has some significant coverage, but it's not enough for a stand-alone article.  I Need Support  :3 15:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps redirecting it to List of San Diego Padres first-round draft picks would work as well.  I Need Support  :3 13:02, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak Keep, as he arguably could be considered to meet WP:NCOLLATH #1. Though, as Rlendog said, for a sport like college baseball, it's debatable whether or not being a second or third team All-American qualifies as a national-level award for the purposes of NCOLLATH. Possibly worth noting that he was the starting catcher on two College World Series winning teams. I wouldn't be heartbroken if this were redirected to the Padres draft pick article, though.

 * Redirect to List of San Diego Padres first-round draft picks. Had Canham been a consensus first team all-American or the Most Outstanding Player for the College World Series this would be a different story, but I think the redirect is the most appropriate move.

 * Keep per WP:SPORTSPERSON (  Lubbad85  ). If redirected, I prefer Arkansas Travelers ( I ) over List of San Diego Padres first-round draft picks (GPL93). ––Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs)  07:13, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
