Keep per WP:NCOLLATH. Wingo's professional career is not particularly notable, but his college career was. Being named College World Series Most Outstanding Player is a major award, which is one of the highest in the sport and thus he meets the requirements of notability.--TM 10:58, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is one of the highest awards for college baseball, but not for baseball in general. And college baseball does not have nearly the national following of college basketball or college football, so that award by itself is not enough to demonstrate notability.

WP:NCOLLATH #1 simply states that the college player is notable if they "have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport)", which Wingo has. The CBWS MVP is listed in the equivalent infobox.--TM 02:06, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the guideline needs some serious reworking. Lepricavark (talk) 00:19, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:NCOLLATH #1 as having won a major national-level award. Wingo was the 2011 College World Series Most Outstanding Player. Ejgreen77 (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
