 * Speedy delete G7, "author requests deletion" It appears that the nominator is the same guy who created the article in the first place. Mandsford (talk) 03:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment DO NOT SPEEDY DELETE. I put these up for AfD to GENERATE DISCUSSION about possible deletion, not to get speedily deleted. By allowing these to be AfD rather than G7, it gives time for an article to be saved and for more than one person to decide whether or not an article stays or goes.

 * Delete I misunderstood. I tend to agree that Thornton would not be notable under WP:GNG, which requires significant coverage. As with | Jose Capellan, he did not play higher than the Class A minor leagues, and he did not manage a team at higher than that level.  The debate on some other articles suggests a lack of understanding about what "Class A" means, but it's kind of the lowest level for players who aren't rookies.  There are higher levels (double-A, triple-A, and then the majors).  For those who don't know what those terms mean, "rookies" are people who are new to professional baseball, and "the majors" are the American League and the National League, the two highest levels of pro baseball in the United States.
