- Keep as a player in a professional sport who played at the highest level [1] and indeed won the biggest prize in his sport. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles. Third party verification from a non-trivial publication outside of publications by sponsors of the sport or activity should be provided to demonstrate that the subject is widely recognized—meeting the first criteria—as performing in a fully professional league or at the highest level. Right from WP:BIO. I think that playing on the winning team of the 1920s World Series Championship deserves this keep. --Brian (How am I doing?) 23:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This article is low quality, but WP:BIO is rather clear on the matter. shotwell 06:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: There are no cited sources in the article, does it not fail to meet the verifiability guidlines? Alan.ca 07:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've now added the source I used in my initial comment. I'm not a baseball fan, so I'm not sure if there are other places to look for this sort of thing, but for a World Series-winning player I'd be amazed if there weren't. The source here seems to verify the important stats, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, you guys made your point well, thank you. I withdraw my submission. Alan.ca 18:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
