Delete is a pro baseball team's 1st base coach notable? I don't think so, but may you all do... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Assistant coaches in the NFL have survived AFD. This guy has an analogous role. There is information on him. Zagalejo^^^ 02:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Looks like the article needs expansion, not deletion. I know this is not an RS so it'd need to be verified [1] but it looks like this guy has a 23 year coaching career including several major league jobs, 3b coach on an olympic team, and multiple full manager jobs in the minors.--Cube lurker (talk) 14:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. I've added a couple of reliable sources which were found in a 30 second google search. There's a lot written about the coaching staff of MLB teams (especially when things are going poorly, as they are for the M's), so I'm sure there's a lot more out there which can be found.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable both as a minor league manager and a major league coach. I've expanded the article and added more sources and categories. Spanneraol (talk) 23:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This person has "served as a ... coach, or manager in one of the above-mentioned leagues or affiliated minor leagues." This is one of the criteria for notability within the Baseball wikiproject. Kinston eagle (talk) 23:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Subject is notable for the reasons cited by Spanneraol and others. RFerreira (talk) 17:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
