[edit] Brad Cuthbertson

Non-notable player for a practice squad. Other than practice, minor league experience only. --Targetter ^{(Lock On)} 02:22, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I don't know if there's any precedent, but in my opinion, professional athletes are notable. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 ^{talk contribs Count} 02:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. While I agree that professional athletes are generally notable, I don't think playing for a farm team quite makes the cut. Recreate this page if he ever moves onto an MLB team roster. —dustmite 02:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete 49th round draft pick this June. Does not appear to have yet played in the minor leagues ([1]) -- Fan-1967 02:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note: I find a record of him playing for the Western Major Baseball League, a "summer collegiate baseball league". This doesn't appear to be a fully professional league (their website compares them to the Cape Cod League). Fan-1967 02:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete until/unless he makes the majors. He did play in the WMBL, and is mentioned on the article for the St. Albert RiverProspects listed for deletion above. The WMBL is basically semi-pro, but moving towards the all college ranks ala the Cape Cod League. Also, he was actually a 6th round pick, and had an article written about him by a major local paper as a result: [2]. Resolute 03:08, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Looks like he got greedy and couldn't work out a deal with the Giants. That was the 2005 draft. The Blue Jays picked him in the 49th round in 2006. [3] -- Fan-1967 03:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - player fails WP:BIO --Ineffable3000 03:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; some players below the major league level are notable, but nothing seems to distinguish this one. --MCB 05:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom/lack of notability/distinction. --S0uj1r0 07:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, can recreate if he ever makes it to the Major Leagues. VegaDark 09:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:BIO as a professional athlete. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
