Minor league prospect, fails WP:NBASE. Can possibly be redirected to the Braves prospect page. SportingFlyer T·C 16:43, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @SportingFlyer: NBASE no longer exists; all that matters is whether the player passes the general notability guideline. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Yow. That's going to lead to some bad outcomes with potentially trivial prospects like these. SportingFlyer T·C 17:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I didn't know of that NBASE being depreciated as well. It likely doesn't help that many of these players were created under that old guideline. Oaktree b (talk) 00:12, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Seems to be enough coverage in the Seattle Times, the MLB.com coverage is not terribly in depth or routine, but it helps. Oaktree b (talk) 00:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep As the creator of the article, I do believe that the subject passes GNG although just barely. A merge into Atlanta Braves minor league players would be a good alternative to deletion if it is decided that the subject isn't notable. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:39, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:GNG with coverage primarially from Seattle Times along with profiles/coverage from smaller publications. Any MLB.com coverage is non-independent and would not apply to GNG, but it is not needed in this case. Frank Anchor 15:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
