[edit] Marshall Hubbard

Marshall Hubbard (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Contested PROD with no explanation. Does not appear to meet WP:BIO, with no sources provided. This article about a baseball player still playing in the minors. According to the MLB site, this player is not on the Seattle Mariners active, or 40-man rosters. Whpq 00:57, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete minor league players are unlikely to generate press outside of game programs produced by his own teams. If anyone can produce reliable, third-party reviews of his play as a ball player, or other press about him, I might be willing to change my vote. --Jayron32 02:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I am wondering why this article is nominated for deletion? There are plenty of other minor leaguers who have pages here on Wikipedia. By most scout accounts Hubbard will reach the minor leagues at some point within the next two years, how good he is shouldn't matter.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.242.1.15 (talk • contribs)

  • reply to above the ONLY criteria we care about is whether an article can be written about this subject where every fact listed therin can be referenced to reliable, third party sources. This one cannot, so it must go. If another minor league ball player meets this threshold, it stays. It has no bearing on what the article is ACTUALLY about, only if it can be populated with notable, verifiable facts that appear in other reliable sources, independant from either wikipedia or the subject itself. --Jayron32 05:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete but don't salt. Hope he makes it to the majors. --Oakshade 06:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
