Víctor Sánchez (baseball)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not sure if he is notable enough for an article. Wikipedia is not a memorial and he did not meet WP:NBASE before his untimely death. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 20:57, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment The article could be moved to "Death of Víctor Sánchez" if the subject meets WP:GNG. Otherwise, if it fails, it probably should be deleted. --NoonIcarus (talk) 09:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep There are multiple reliable sources for this article, many of which are directly cited by it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Partofthemachine (talk • contribs) 2021-04-16T22:45:27 (UTC)
 * Delete There are some reports in reliable sources, but they're WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RUNOFTHEMILL coverage about a sporting person's career (some other sources are blogs, unsuitable for establishing notability). Information about his untimely death would make this WP:BLP1E; and the death itself doesn't appear to have had any significant impact or sustained coverage so is not a notable event either.

 * Delete - Ignoring his death, (addressed by Canadian) the only other notable thing going for Sánchez's notability is his no-hitter at the Class A level, which while an impressive feat, is four levels down from the MLB level. Otherwise, coverage of him was routine for a minor league player. RolledOut34 // (<b style="color:#8c0f0f">talk</b>) // (<b style="color:#8c0f0f">cont</b>)</b> 23:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete RandomCanadian addresses many of the idea but essentially there is not the kind of sourcing available that suggests notability clearly failing both NBASE and GNG. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:18, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
