Scott Campbell (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sort of on the fence. He was the first New Zealander, but I'm not sure whether that's just an interesting tidbit or something that merits an article. He played for the New Zealand national team, but he never participated in any "international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics" per WP:ATH. He's no longer with any teams. Alex (talk) 17:06, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Scott Campbell is most likely taking part in the 2013 World Baseball Classic as a member of the New Zealand national team. Considering that baseball is no longer an Olympic sport, the WBC is the highest level of international competition.  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 17:29, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per non-trivial coverage cited in the article that establishes GNG. Why did you nominate this? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep a very encyclopedic and accurate description, I see no guidelines violated, certainly long enough, just needs a few more citations. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 18:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficient non-trivial coverage to pass WP:GNG.  Cbl62 (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - All the inline sources cited in the article at the moment are specific to Scott Campbell rather than more generic sources that happen to mention him. At the moment he doesn't meet WP:BASEBALL/N but he doesn't have to if he meets WP:GNG, which he does. And given that the nominator nominator couldn't manage an unequivocal opinion on the matter, I'm not sure why it was nominated in the first place.  Afaber012  (talk) 23:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:SNOW keep - minor concerns like "being on the fence" should be discussed on article talk pages before dragging through AfD. This is a perfect example of disruption as outlined in the currently running RfC/U on the nominator's conduct and very clearly passes both WP:ATH and WP:GNG. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  23:46, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn because tomorrow is the end of the world according to Harold Camping. Alex (talk) 00:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
