 * Delete We do not have enough cases of in-depth coverage to justify this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:48, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep.. played in 16 games in Major League Baseball in the first year the National League existed... nominator seems to have a bias against 19th century figures for whom modern day sources are harder to come by. Spanneraol (talk) 19:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Played basically a season in the MLB. The Rank and File has information which can be included. Here is a death notice, though it can't really be considered significant. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 02:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per NBASE. Rlendog (talk) 01:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - general notability guidelines are not always applicable, and we must consider that 19th century sources may have little significant coverage accessible through a google search due to the age. Per WP:NBASE, baseball players are presumed notable if they have appeared in at least one active major league game, of which this subjects has plated in many more than this requirement. Notability is hence presumed and I see no other valid ground for deletion. Such-change47 (talk) 02:27, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: 16 games is well beyond the point where we can consider that the player probably has sources. Curbon7 (talk) 06:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
