The result was redirect to Tom Rogers (baseball). Close per an agreement that the game doesn't reach independent notability. There is already some content on the perfect game in the Rogers' article, but more can be added as editors see fit. (non-admin closure) Nosebagbear (talk) 13:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources are either from local news reports or stat references, none of which confer notability.White Siddiqah (talk) 15:04, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Consensus is that minor league perfect games don't rate standalone articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - I don't see any independent coverage, which suggests NPOV issues may arise. While I imagine there was local coverage at the time, without continuing coverage, it seems this would be better discussed (as it is) in the article about the pitcher. Much of the content is not terribly encyclopedic (why should an encyclopedia include the game-day roster of two minor league teams for a game known only for the success of one player). The encyclopedic content (if it is so) already exists so no merge is necessary. Smmurphy(Talk) 00:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tom Rogers (baseball), where this is already covered, and possibly merge some content if desired. Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:11, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * REdirect -- I cannot believe we need a separate article on a single match a century ago. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tom Rogers (baseball), per Patar knight and Peterkingiron. The first two AfD's were pretty clearly non-notable, but given the age of this one, I suppose it's possible that additional offline sources could exist (though it's not terribly likely). But, redirects are WP:CHEAP, anyways. Ejgreen77 (talk) 16:06, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Patar knight. Rlendog (talk) 18:39, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
