Non-notable baseball player. Wizardman 17:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - article is very stubby but minor league is fully professional so keep iaw WP:ATHLETE. Springnuts (talk) 18:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a misunderstanding of WP:ATHLETE. Minor leaguers are not inherently notable, they still need the appropriate accolades via third party sources. Wizardman  18:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * To expand on Wizardman's comment, a first year Class A short season player made $850 a month in 2005 (I don't have more current figures, but I doubt it's very far off), and only gets paid for the 3.5 months they play. For comparison, here in California a minimum wage full time worker makes $1,386 a month. Hard to call Class A baseball "fully professional" when their yearly income is around $3,000.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  15:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well that's what the policy says - unless WP:IAR applies. By the edge of the basket?  I agree, but still in the balloon. Springnuts (talk) 18:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Class A baseball player, nothing to indicate notability. Rklear (talk) 20:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
