Non-notable baseball player. He played one season in an independant league before retiring. He does not meet notability requirements. NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Frankly, I was ready to !vote delete, as I don't consider the Frontier League to be "fully professional" due to the extremely low pay. However, Tognetti has a surprising amount of press. I've added a link to the Michigan Daily article, and the 83 gnews hits are a fairly large number for a guy who played just 21 games after college.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  15:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * He's retired and most of the coverage seems pretty local. His college career seems fairly impressive, but that's not the focus of the article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The local-ness of the coverage is what puts me to a weak keep rather than a strong keep. As to the focus of the article, that's an editing issue. If his college career is in fact notable, then the article should be rewritten to reflect that.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  20:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not meet WP:ATHLETE and the local coverage does not establish notability. HeureusementIci (talk) 20:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Minor league players need to receive significant coverage from reliable sources to establish notability. An article in a university paper or mentions in a few brief pieces in local newspapers aren't sufficient. BRMo (talk) 00:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
