Non-notable minor league baseball player. No longer affiliated with team. Fails WP:BASE/N. Fails WP:GNG. References are WP:ROUTINE. Alex (talk) 20:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:ROUTINE is wrong. This reference hardly qualifies for what the guideline states. "Planned coverage of pre-scheduled events, especially when those involved in the event are also promoting it, is considered to be routine." I have no vote for now.

 * Keep: The subject is described in "significant detail" in multiple reliable sources - in fact, in the largest newspapers of two different states - and as far as I can see, the only cause for declaring that they fall under WP:ROUTINE is the premise that "news about sports" = "routine," a supposition that is nowhere found in the guideline. That being said,  notwithstanding the baseball Wikiproject's absurd prejudice against minor leaguers, Daeges' All-American citation qualifies him under the notability criteria governing college athletes, and he certainly passes the GNG.  That he is no longer affiliated with the Red Sox organization is irrelevant; the overwhelming majority of biographical articles on Wikipedia are, I daresay, about people who no longer do the things for which they gained notability.
