Dubious, unverifiable. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alfred G. Wheelock, AfD for its alleged inventor; unverifiable bio as well. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This should be treated as being as unverifiable as the article on the equipment's purported inventor. That one of the only two references is to a family's archives is telling. Syek88 (talk) 17:34, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep we need some sort of article for a baseball backstop. Some of this content is probably just in need of verification. However, I am not sure how much of the Wheelock content is needed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:28, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I also see nothing to verify this. Needing an article on a baseball backstop is not a good reason to keep an article that doesn't meet Wikipedia guidelines. We do have Glossary of baseball (B)#backstop anyway. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
