[edit] Clay Buchholz

Delete NN minor league baseball player and petty criminal. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 03:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NN --Bill (who is cool!)) 03:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn.--Jersey Devil 03:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep... he's a minor leaguer but I've seen a lot of press mentions for him, and with the crime in the news, I think it pushes him over the edge. Mangojuice^talk 06:05, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, here are some sources KDFM (about the theft), Boston Globe (as a hot prospect, and the theft), Article on him at scout.com (pay site), all excluding coverage of his performances in individual games.
    • Minor leaguers are always NN until they reach the majors. Thieves of 20 computers are also, no matter the coverage. (There are thousands of murderers every year, and each one of them gets multiple newspaper articles.) Put the two together - still NN. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 14:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Actually, if we're going to use WP:BIO as a guide, anyone who plays in a "fully professional league" is eligible for an article. Even single-A ball is "fully professional." -- Mwalcoff 00:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Crazynas 16:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Drafted in the first round; mid 90s fastball; top prospect. If college football players are deserving of articles, certainly top baseball prospects are, too. -- Mwalcoff 00:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Fledgeling 02:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Mwalcoff. --JJay 03:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
