To qualify for this page, a player must pass GNG. If they pass GNG, then they qualify for a standalone article. That makes this page unnecessary and redundant. Alex (talk) 06:14, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Nominators rationale makes no sense and is his trying to make a point after he tried to add minor players to these pages and was reverted. A list page has different notability requirements than an article. These articles are about the farm system, a notable subject and contain the entire rosters. The article is well sourced and "unnecessary and redundant" is not a proper rationale for deletion. Spanneraol (talk) 06:20, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep per WP:POINTy. VMS Mosaic (talk) 14:12, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep Alex is being WP:POINTy and I've already WP:TROUTed him. We have a long standing consensus on how to do this that he doesn't seem to comprehend, and now he's wasting our time and resources on this farce. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:18, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - The listed minor league baseball players are those who have been determined to be of some measure of notability under the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, but WP:BASEBALL and the larger community believe would be better served by inclusion in an "incubator" list article such as this one. The Wikipedia community, WP:BASEBALL, and/or the participants in this AfD may "conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article," and that the subject matter may be better covered as part of another article per GNG.  This is just such a case, and well supported by the long-standing consensus of WP:BASEBALL, and several years of consistent AfD outcomes: KEEP.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:49, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and trout per Dirtlawyer, Spanneraol and others. Rlendog (talk) 23:40, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
