 * Keep. Satisfies BASE/N by virtue of having played in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Spanneraol (talk) 23:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Satisfies BASE/N. This wave of deletionism is really annoying. Alex (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * GNG supercedes BASE/N. He clearly isn't notable.Joeykai (talk) 00:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Why even have BASE/N if people aren't going to follow it? Alex (talk) 01:25, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes BASE/N. Wizardman  03:07, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG. Pitching one inning in a tournament in which Panama was quickly eliminated hardly seems notable. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 05:22, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Playing in the WBC is an automatic notable.--Yankees10 05:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment BASE/N doesn't trump GNG. This guy pitched one inning in the 2006 WBC. If there isn't substantial coverage of him, the page should be deleted. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 07:34, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * He also played in two Baseball World Cups and a Pan American Games. That gives him four major international tournaments. There are two other Ramon Ramirez that were baseball pitchers as well as a couple that were minor league infielders so separating them on google searches is a bit difficult.

 * Keep: I don't suppose the Delete voters have troubled themselves to attempt to find Panamanian news sources? As it happens, there are a bunch of them on La Prensa alone:   Nha Trang  Allons! 14:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are a bunch of routine stories about a local athlete. GNG requires a lot more than that. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 21:11, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Haven't read them, have you?  Nha Trang  Allons! 15:44, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I read them. They're the standard type of stories that any decent athlete receives in his home city. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 22:16, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per NukeThePukes (great name) and BASE/N. With baseball no longer an Olympic event (BS), the WBC should be sacrosanct. And Bbny, not "any decent athlete" gets coverage of that nature. – Muboshgu (talk) 11:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * In any given year, there are over 7,000 players in MLB and MiLB, and this guy was never one of them. He's a local "decent athlete" who pitched one inning for a low-level WBC team, and nothing more. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 19:58, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * He also played in two Baseball World Cups and a Pan American Games as I noted above. Spanneraol (talk) 20:26, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That's nice, but he's still nothing more than a decent local athlete. He played in four allegedly significant tournaments but didn't impress MLB teams to the point of cracking the ranks of the 7,000 players in MLB and MiLB. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 21:57, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Why does Bbny get so angry and hostile when things don't go his way? Alex (talk) 02:57, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Beats me, but he's not the first one from the baseball wikiproject who goes into a tizzy at the notion that ANYone other than a Major! League! Ballplayer! could meet notability standards. Me, my Spanish is pretty good, and I'm satisfied that those Panamanian sources are good.  Nha Trang  Allons! 16:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I see Alex is as good at reading anger as he is at comprehending GNG. Which is, of course, not very good at all. As for Nha Trang, I never said the sources weren't good. I said it was local coverage that didn't meet GNG. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 20:19, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * In your opinion. Spanneraol (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:BASE/N. Just because sources are primarily from Panama doesn't make him non-notable. Rlendog (talk) 23:29, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
