Run of the mill non notable minor league player. Fails WP:Athlete and WP:GNG. Also not notable enough for a re-direct. Yankees10 22:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Oakland Athletics minor league players. Why have those pages if you're not going to use them for what they are for. Alex (talk) 23:03, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are not for guys like this. Good prospects and 40-man roster players should be on those pages not non-prospects and journeyman like this dude.--Yankees10 23:10, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Oakland Athletics minor league players. I would generally agree with what Yankees10 said, but in this case I support a merge since Buschmann is currently playing at AAA. Northern Antarctica (₵) 22:19, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah he's in Triple-A, but he is also 30 year old journeyman. Like I said above, the minor league articles should be for top prospects and 40-man guys.--Yankees10 22:34, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unless that's a policy, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't see much harm in including AAA players on team minor league pages. Northern Antarctica (₵) 22:58, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:43, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as above. There is no need to delete, he is in Triple A after all. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:32, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
