Fails all aspects of WP:BASEBALL/N. Never played a game in the Major Leagues, nor does he meet any other notability requirement. Safiel (talk) 18:47, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article created by an account that has edited no other page, making it appear possible that this is an autobiography. Aside from that, there is no notability here. I see no sources online that discuss the subject, and don't imagine there are sufficient print sources to establish notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, things like "Bergen Record All-Century Team" and "Kevin was called up to the Cincinnati Reds in the Major Leagues in 1980" are totally unverified. The first should show up somewhere reliable, and the second appears to be totally false. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a member of an ASA National Championship team, he has competed at the highest level for his sport of softball. In the future, please include softball players on their project's AfD page. Kinston eagle (talk) 19:45, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is no specific notability guideline applicable to softball players under WP:NSPORTS, and, as such, any subject claimed to be notable for inclusion in Wikipedia for a stand-alone article must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

Delete. Never played in a major league professional baseball game, and is therefore not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NBASEBALL. There is insufficient in-depth coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources as required by the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

Delete... the article contains no sources to verify most of it's claims and he does not seem to have any claim to notability. Can also not verify Kinston Eagle's claim that the ASA National Championship team would be the highest level for softball... can not even verify that he was on the team with the sources provided.
