According to the AAGPBL website ([1]), she played in 1946 in the league, but the only thing that is known about her is that her last name is "Gregory." That's it. The AAGPBL website doesn't list anything else, not even a team or first name. Fails WP:GNG, as I was not able to find any significant coverage. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Long way off from GNG, half the article only mentions the AAGPBL is mentioned in Cooperstown. Oaktree b (talk) 20:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not only don't we know her first name, we also don't know how many games she played or any other pertinent performance criteria. Fails WP:GNG (no SIGCOV) and prong 5 of WP:SPORTBASIC ("Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.").

Delete No WP:SIGCOV whatsoever. Also this was nominated by user:BeanieFan11, who has developed a reputation for finding sources and making significant contributions to “save” articles on sports topics from being deleted. This shows me that there is likely very little in source archives and the topic would not meet GNG. Frank Anchor 03:42, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. One of the weakest parts of the old WP:NBASE was the granting of 1 game auto-notability to players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, a World War II-era women's novelty league that sought to economically capitalize on the fact that the quality of play in MLB had declined significantly during the WWII era, as so many MLB players were fighting in the war and were not available to play baseball anymore. After an initial blip in publicity during the war years, this league quickly faded into obscurity once the war ended and all of the MLB players came back, and was more or less completely forgotten until nearly 50 years later when a Hollywood movie was released that thrust it back into public consciousness. The end result of all this is that we have created Wikipedia articles about many of the players in this league that are lacking even such basic details as dates of birth and death. In the case of this player in particular, we don't even know her first name, we have no stats at all on her (so, we really don't know if she ever played in this league or not, she could have very well been a benchwarmer who never actually made it out onto the field), and we don't even know what team she supposedly played for. To summarize, I would be shocked if any player who played in this league after 1945 has received any type of significant coverage at all. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:18, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
