Rob Semerano

Minor League Baseball player who has not played in any league higher than an AA (this year) and does not pass the drafted (with much consensus) Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Notability guidelines. There is debate within WP:Baseball about minor league players qualifying as "fully professional"

Good faith search brings up passing mention in articles about the team, no significant coverage of the subject, which means he fails the General notability guidelines. kelapstick (talk) 18:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable minor leaguer.--Giants27 ^T/C 18:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This individual appears to be pass WP:BIO. The above search for sources was only for the past month. This Google News Archive search returns many more results. Cunard (talk) 00:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, the references need to be checked to make sure they are substantial coverage, not just a passing mention.--kelapstick (talk) 04:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comment player does not pass Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Baseball which is a more lax guideline than the proposed notability guideline either.--kelapstick (talk) 15:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I've added a number of sources to the article, as well as info about Baseball America ranking him a number 3 prospect in New York State. While I'd like to see more, I think this nudges him over the line.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Although Fabrictramp found a couple of articles profiling him, they appear to be from his hometown paper; I'd like to see significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. BRMo (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete minor leaguer who does not meet requirements according to WP:ATHLETE. Mandermagic (talk) 01:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
