Non-notable former minor league baseball pitcher. Spent eight years in the minors, but only a handful of games at the highest level of minor league baseball, Triple-A. Fails WP:GNG. References are lacking. Alex (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What makes this case interesting is that Muñoz was promoted to the majors, but never appeared in a game before he was demoted.[1] – Muboshgu (talk) 23:28, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm, that's interesting. He's a "phantom major leaguer then." I don't know quite how to handle that. Alex (talk) 00:47, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was looking for reliable sources other than passing mensions or local newspaper and I couldn't find much that deals with this particular individual. Even if you get called up, you still have to play in a Major League game in order to qualify for WP:SPORTS notability guideline. Secret ^account 05:43, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet WP:BASEBALL/N having never played a game in MLB. Lacks non-routine coverage is multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. This WP:Run-of-the-mill player does not deserve a standalone article. Since he is not active in 2011, there is no option to merge to a related minor league player article. —Bagumba (talk) 09:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The notability guideline is about playing at the highest level, not being on the roster. Ma^t_chups 01:53, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I brought up the point that he was indeed on a 25 man roster to see if anyone was inclined to use this AfD to revisit that guideline. I'm not especially inclined to change it either. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:26, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Spanneraol (talk) 15:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
