Manny Ramirez Jr

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not a notable baseball player. Being the son of a famous person is irrelevant as notability is not inherited, playing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball doesn't meet WP:NBASEBALL, and the local coverage of his debut doesn't meet GNG. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:38, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Manny Ramirez#Personal life. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. He's playing for an indy league team with the smallest of chances he becomes notable in his own right. I wouldn't argue with straight deletion, but redirects are cheap. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:11, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Probably too soon. I will not rule out the possibility of Ramirez Jr being notable some day, but presently he is only known for his father's accomplishments.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a redirect to his famous father may make it seem like he is his famous father or cause confusion. Just delete him per failing WP:NBASEBALL. SportingFlyer talk 01:55, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Many Ramirez#Personal Life. This doesn't make Jr feel notable, it provides a pathway for someone wishing to learn about Jr to do so. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Manny Ramirez#Personal life where he is discussed. Redirecting to an article that discuss him in passing does not imply that he himself is notable, and allows anyone who is looking for information specifically on him to find the information that is included within Wikipedia in accordance with our guidelines.

Redirect He might make the pros one day but right now it is all about his famous father. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 16:17, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Manny Ramirez#Personal Life, as has been done with numerous non-notable athletes related to notable ones - see Mariano Rivera III, Tate Matheny, Casey Fitzgerald (ice hockey), Joseph LaMotta, and Ryan Doolittle for just a few examples. Several of those explicitly had consensus to redirect at an AfD. Smartyllama (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
