Ty Williams (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by an editor who wants a "discussion". Fine. I don't see what's to discuss given the lack of sources that would be needed to pass WP:GNG though. He was a 35th round pick out of a junior college. No major awards appear to be won that would provide any notability. The only mentions appear to be high school game reports, mostly limited to the Daily Ardmoreite. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:00, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Zero evidence of notability beyond very local coverage of his draft selection. Clearly does not pass the subject-specific guideline, either. I just corrected the article to reflect that he has never played in a Major League game and pitches for the Gulf Coast League Mets (which is below Single-A baseball). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  19:00, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. He has not even started pitching in minor league ball yet. The article seemed to imply that he was related to Mitch Williams but I can not confirm that so i took the links out. Spanneraol (talk) 21:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete I saw ONLY 7 search results about Ty Williams (baseball). DecafGrub47393 (talk) 01:27, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It is unsurprising that almost no web pages contain the exact phrase "Ty Williams (baseball)". Remove the quotes and brackets and you get six million hits. But this is irrelevant because Google hits are not a measure of notability. Dricherby (talk) 10:28, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of those hits are of different people with the same name. Spanneraol (talk) 13:48, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed, which is just one of the reasons why number of Google hits isn't a useful measure. Dricherby (talk) 14:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. I have never heard of him nor of his notabilities. A non-notible minor league pitcher in the New York Mets organization. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 03:56, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Whether you've heard of him or not is irrelevant. I've not heard of 90% of members of the US Senate but that's not grounds for deleting their articles. Dricherby (talk) 10:28, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable at all. Didn't win any major junior college awards, and doesn't meet WP:GNG otherwise. Mpejkrm (talk) 01:32, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
