Scott Griggs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed without any reason. No legit third party sources in the article, only stat pages and his UCLA bio. Yet LA Times has no significant coverage of him (just this, which mentions him by name but doesn't give significant coverage). The only significant coverage I found is this which is not enough. Fails WP:BASE/N and WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per Muboshgu.--Yankees10 20:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Searches came up with nothing notably better. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:30, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:IGNOREALLRULES, article has true research value as this individual is still an active player. Alex (talk) 23:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * How would keeping this article in spite of GNG improve Wikipedia? – Muboshgu (talk) 00:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * What "research value" does this subject have beyond any other players of similar (lack of) accomplishment? Rlendog (talk) 01:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a really poorly written article Alex.. you are getting really sloppy. Griggs is not a top prospect, he has little notability. I followed him when he was at UCLA and am aware of him, but he was not covered in the local papers. He missed a couple of years with an injury and is just now working his way back... but he has not gotten any coverage from prospect sources or papers.  Alex, you are a good editor when you want to be.. how bout spending your time improving existing articles rather than randomly creating articles on mediocre minor leaguers?

 * Delete No games played in the majors, no evidence otherwise of WP:GNG notability. OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:55, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability.  Rlendog (talk) 01:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep passing WP:NCOLLATH as an all american college baseball player.--TM 14:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think a 3rd team all american awarded by an organization not recognized by the NCAA is quite what WP:NCOLLATH intended. Rlendog (talk) 15:10, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't even think First Team All-Americans are what's meant by that. I tried to argue that a FTAA should be considered NCOLLATH back in 2012, and got shot down. I take it to mean Golden Spikes Award, Dick Howser Trophy, Johnny Bench Award, Brooks Wallace Award, etc. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:16, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * NCOLLATH cites awards like those prominent in college football. All-American is one of them.--TM 19:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This thread from 2015 suggests including First Team All-Americans in NCOLLATH. According to the article, Griggs was a Third Team All-American. This and this discussion shot the idea down entirely. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:32, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
