Weak Keep 1,600 hits in Google News Archive tells me there's probably enough out there to pass GNG. — NY-13021 (talk) 01:05, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Minor league managers may not be inherently notable, but this one is. Full profiles in El Universal, The Columbus Dispatch and The Tennessean could be used for expansion and sourcing, for just a few examples. He's also received several prominent awards as a minor league manager, including PCL Manager of the Year in 2007 and Southern League Manager of the Year in 2003, and was twice selected to coach in the All-Star Futures Game (the article says that he was Venezuelan Professional Baseball League Manager of the Year in 2008, but I haven't been able to confirm this yet). Oh, and he led Nashville to the PCL championship in 2005, so he's got a notable team performance under his belt as well. Trout-slap to Alex for obviously doing no research whatsoever before nominating. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 15:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If I am reading the El Universal article correctly, he seems to meet WP:BASE/N by virtue of managing in the top Venzuela league. But in any case, he seems to have enough coverage to pass GNG. Rlendog (talk) 18:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
