Does not appear to meet WP:BASEBALL/N. Only professional play is for minor league teams. bd2412 T 21:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Oh he doesn't meet BASE/N at all. But GNG supersedes BASE/N and this article has 26 unique citations. How many sources does a subject need to demonstrate notability? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Despite their number, the sources are not great. Five of these are to The Advocate, a local newspaper. Another four are to nola.com, a local website, and secsports.com is not independent. bd2412 T 22:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge to Baltimore Orioles minor league players. The amount of in-depth sourcing in the article demonstrates that he's notable enough. – Malmmf (talk) 22:14, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see that this person passes gng with much non-trivial coverage in secondary sources. Lightburst (talk) 02:47, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:22, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, he has enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 10:50, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Baltimore Orioles minor league players. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON, as this player has only advanced to Class A ball and is only notable for playing baseball and being drafted by an MLB team. No prejudice against an article about this person being re-created once he gets called up to MLB. Mind matrix 16:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
