- Keep From Wikipedia:Notability (sports): Baseball figures are considered notable if they (...) Have appeared in at least one game in any one of the following active major leagues (...) Major League Baseball. He only threw in two innings, but clearly meets the threshold. Deltopia 02:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep per Deltopia. The Wikipedist 04:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Regretful Keep I strongly disagree with that part of WP:N, and do not think that just appearing in a MLB games makes them notable. Until that changes though, that makes this guy "notable". I would support changing that notability requirement though. TJ Spyke 04:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: WP:N is a guideline. Guidelines are flexible and should be applied with common sense. That means, if you disagree with a guideline or its application, don't become a slave to the rules! - Che Nuevara 12:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I'm a big fan of IAR, usually, but in this instance, I think having him included adds to the encyclopedia. Being able to say, "We have -everyone- who ever played in the bigs," I think, is better than being able to say, "We have most people we consider notable that have ever played in the bigs." It makes this a more complete reference. (Just my opinion.) Deltopia 15:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keep per Deltopia. Even though he appeared in only one game, I don't have a huge problem with the policy. Appearing in a game in a major professional team sport is a pretty difficult thing to do, and I'm sure there are some baseball buffs who find this information useful. --Bongwarrior 04:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, passes WP:BIO for athletes via criteria. Playing in a major league game may not be the most appropriate place to draw a line, but it's an easy, bright line to draw. --Dhartung | Talk 06:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The nominator's reason is nonsensical as Franklin clearly does pass WP:BIO Nick mallory 09:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
