Minor League Baseball player who has not played in any league higher than an A, and therefore does not pass the drafted (with much consensus) Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines.

Good faith search news search brings up a few hits, but are all passing mention (not significant coverage), no article specifically about him, therefore not passing the general notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: This individual appears to be pass WP:BIO. The above search for sources was only for the past month. This Google News Archive search returns many more results. Cunard (talk) 00:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, the references need to be checked to make sure they are substantial coverage, not just a passing mention.--kelapstick (talk) 04:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per the above comments, player does not meet requirements according to WP:ATHLETE. Mandermagic (talk) 07:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• comment player does not pass Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Baseball which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I've fixed a number of factual errors in the article (wrong link to MiLB profile, incorrect current team). I'll look for sources showing notability later today or tomorrow.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:18, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete (I had more time than I thought). I'm conflicted on this one. On the keep side we have the scout.com interview, the College World Series appearance, and a tremendous number of gnews hits. On the delete side, other than the scout.com interview I can't find anything showing notability. My gut feeling (subject to change if more sources appear) is that this is a case of "not yet" -- we may well hear much more about this player in the future, but it's premature for a Wikipedia article.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to San Diego Padres minor league players. Fabrictramp, this is the perfect reason for those minor league articles.. Players that have sources and are solid prospects but aren't quite ready for a full wikipedia article. Spanneraol (talk) 23:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm fine with merge/redirect on these as long as we have a logical target. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Statistics or brief mentions in articles about minor league teams do not constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources," as required by WP:N. BRMo (talk) 01:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
