Delete as not noteworthy. Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 02:07, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I believe I created this based on the ABL being in WP:BASE/N, which it was at the time, but is no longer. Sources don't establish GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:15, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'll throw a keep his way. He played in the Asia Series, a notable international tournament, in 2011.[1] In my view, he passes WP:BASE/N. Alex (talk) 05:08, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The part of WP:BASE/N that refers to international tournaments reads "have participated in a major international competition (such as the World Baseball Classic, Baseball World Cup or Olympics) as a member of a national team.".. The Asia Series is a club level competition featuring the champions of NPB, KBO the Chinese Leagues and the Australian Leagues.. It does NOT involve national teams, so it doesnt count. Spanneraol (talk) 05:18, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per my recollection, in the fairly recent past, we've kept guys who played in the Caribbean Series, using that rationale as reason to keep. Secondly, we must remember that all the WP: stuff are 'guidelines' intended to help evaluate notability. They are not set in stone rules. As guidelines, they have some give and sway. There is some flexibility. Alex (talk) 05:51, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I dont recall keeping anyone on that basis.. There is a reason that national teams are more important.. Playing for the Perth Heat in the Asia Series isnt enough for this guy absent any other sourcing to meet GNG. Spanneraol (talk) 06:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let the majority speak as it will. Alex (talk) 06:06, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete & Merge WP:BASE/N also states that if a baseball subject does not enough to satisfy the notability criteria for an independent article, it may be appropriate to write a short, stub-length bio as a section within the article on the franchise's minor league players. In this case, here :San Francisco Giants minor league players. Does this compromise suit everyone? EBY (talk) 06:13, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He hasn't played in the Giants organization since 2012 and these minor league pages are for players currently playing in the organization. So no that wouldn't work.--Yankees10 07:48, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
