I'm unable to find sources to meet non-trivial coverage from WP:SPORTBASIC. The closest I could find was two paragraphs in a book. The overwhelming majority of book sources merely include his name, so no notability conferred from them. Newspapers.com shows a ton of trivial routine sports coverage, which is fine for facts but not for notability, per NSPORTS. SWinxy (talk) 00:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. I'm pretty deletionist but some of these nominations are getting ridiculous. I'm seeing plenty of quality sources without even digging particularly hard. I found a feature piece that I'm working on finding a way to mesh in the article on top of all the other sourcing out there. Wizardman 02:02, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What feature were you able to find? SWinxy (talk) 02:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The last ref I just added is a half-page feature piece so that more that solves any potential issues. Wizardman 02:15, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Changing to Strong Keep I have since added more than enough. Wizardman 02:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wizardman's sources. Spanneraol (talk) 02:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm pretty deletionist too. Here's a paragraph from a book called Baseball in Long Beach, here's another from a different book with the same title, and some articles that provide more than just rotm game coverage.[1][2][3] Altogether, it should cross the line for notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per GNG. Rlendog (talk) 14:47, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per all above. Clear pass of GNG. Frank Anchor 18:35, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Brief career? True, but if you're a good enough pitcher to make a MLB start, the odds are pretty likely you've generated enough coverage to meet GNG. Based on the sources from Wizardman and Muboshgu, that seems like the case here. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wizardman, passes GNG. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 00:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Wizardman and Muboshgu. Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:33, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Wizardman and WP:HEY. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:45, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
