Potentially non-notable minor league baseball player and manager. Sure, he led a team to a championship, but I'm not 100% sure that merits an article. Alex (talk) 03:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could see including an article on a long-term manager or one with multiple or AA/AAA championships, but one class D championship doesn't do it. There are many James Sharps; a quick search didn't turn up any helpful sources. Ma^t_chups 14:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - Per the baseball section of WP:NSPORT, item 6, there is no inherent assumption of notability for minor league players and managers. The article puts forth that he most notable as the manager of a championship minor league team, however there lacks significant coverage about it although I did find this. I understand that coverage in online sources for something that happened in 1921 may be hard to come by, but ultimately, he was the manager of a minor league team that was in a league that only operated sporadically (Michigan State League). -- Whpq (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
