Run of the mill former minor league baseball player (currently plays Independent ball). Fails WP:Athlete. Might pass GNG but nothing separates him from hundreds of other minor league players. Yankees10 18:10, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep If he does pass GNG, that makes him quite a bit different from all of the other aforementioned run of the mill minor league players. I think there's an argument to be made that he passes, with these pieces of coverage specifically: Modesto Bee, Journal Star, Times Herald-Record, Montgomery Advertiser. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If that's enough to pass GNG, then literally every all-county high school athlete in the country could pass GNG. These are just local stories, the likes of which fill newspapers from coast to coast every single day. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 21:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Geographic scope. The question is whether or not this is enough for an article. I said weak keep because I'm not 100%. It's still deeper coverage than "literally every all-county high school athlete in the country" gets, but is it enough for GNG? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:04, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fairly nondescript minor leaguer. Coverage is all of the routine variety.Spanneraol (talk) 15:13, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
