  • Delete per Miamite--Truest blue 17:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. How does this fail WP:BIO? The WP:BIO requirement is that a player plays in a fully professional league, which he does. Smashville 22:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Is that a Keep Smashville? Kinston eagle 00:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
      • Not necessarily. I mean, common sense is that a Minor Leaguer wouldn't be notable. However, per WP:BIO, they are. Smashville 02:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. As noted above, this player meets the current standard for athletes in WP:BIO, and it should be noted that he also meets the proposed standards in Wikipedia:Notability (sports) by playing for the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes. Requests have been made that baseball player AfD's be put on hold until the proposed guidelines are worked out. Kinston eagle 00:46, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I couldn't find one good source that wasn't independent, trvial, or a stats site, fails WP:RS and WP:V and also for notabilty (sports) it's recommended not to use it for any AFD debates, not place the baseball AFDs on hold. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup Sports! 02:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Professional minor league player, has played AAA baseball, meets criteria of WP:BIO and Wikipedia:Notability (sports). Spanneraol 21:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
    • See above, there isn't any good sources found, which is the main crtieria of Notabilty (sports) Jaranda wat's sup Sports! 01:59, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
