No assertion of notability. WP guidelines generally say that having played in a major league in any sport equals notability, but this guy played five games in two weeks back in 1989, and that was it. I don't think he played enough as far as the spirit of the criterion goes, and the article certainly doesn't meet the other basic WP:BIO requirements. MSJapan 22:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Neutral: Could stay because he played Major League, but could be deleted because he only played 5 games. I am actually slightly leaning toward keeping, but would not want to make the final decision on this one. - Rjd0060 22:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Big Leaguers are notable, even if it is for a cup of coffee. Basically, if they are listed in the Baseball Encyclopedia, then they are all over the 'net and are justifiably notable for the rest of eternity.--Old Hoss 22:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I can't remember the last time we deleted an article on an MLB player. Most of them do pass the general BIO criteria; look at all the Google News hits for this guy. Zagalejo ^ ^  ^  02:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I saw those, vbbut they are local coverage based on his later coaching career (from the date; those are pay-to-view articles), and seem to be relatively trivial, because they're not about him per se, but rather his comments on something else related to his coaching positions, except for the first one.

 * Well, I just think that all those sources, put together, provide enough total information for a decent Wikipedia article. Zagalejo ^ ^  ^  01:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand... While his major league stint was short, he did make it to the majors... which is notable. I could see adding some of his stats from the minor leagues to beaf up the article, and an explaination of why he was called up to the Indians and what happened to him afterwards.

 * Keep-made it to the Major Leagues, the highest level of American baseball. Therefore notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexsautographs (talk • contribs) 00:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
