  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of baseball-related deletions. —Truest blue 00:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. --Truest blue 00:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Player is on the Rockies 40 man roster. The article could definitely be expanded, going over his Rockies bio Nix has a lot of minor league awards and all-star appearances and seems to be a highly touted prospect. The writer of this one should expand it more. Spanneraol 00:33, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Players on the 40 man roster are minor leaguers. Currently, teams are only allowed to have 25 players on their major league roster. If he is on the 40 man roster when major league cllubs are allowed to have 40 players then he should be eligible for an WP article.--Truest blue 00:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The criteria for inclusion are clear and this player doesn't make it. Allowing players who haven't made full appearances on wikipedia opens the door to hundreds of thousands of fringe cricketers, footballers, baseball players etc. 'highly touted prospects' can have their article when they make their first proper appearance.

  • Delete as per nom, but recreate if he plays in a major league game. Although Spanneraol feels he's a highly touted prospect, the first couple of pages of non-wiki ghits didn't show much notability.--Fabrictramp 00:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, for now. He has not played on a major league field yet. Once he gets in there and sets foot on the field in a MLB game, we're good, but until then, he doesn't meet WP:N. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Even though I might have a soft spot for the Rockies, until he shows up sometime mid September, he doesn't qualify for a wikipedia page.Ravenmasterq 02:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
