Alderson is a non-notable minor league player. He was a first round draft pick, but no evidence suggests he ever played a major league game. There is a little coverage of him earlier, but it is localized and not enough to pass General Notability Guidelines. John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep reviewing the 2nd nomination and the article itself, I'm convinced of his notability by the arguments that led to it being kept the second time. Notability is not temporary and I think the arguments lade out seven years ago still hold today. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:11, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability isn't temporary, but our views of notability sure have changed. In the last discussion, I only saw three sources presented to make the case for notability. The PPG source is good, the EVT link is dead, and Baseball America is a trade publication and its Prospect Guide, not a regular article, should receive less weight in determining notability. EVTrib does have an article on Alderson being drafted and one on being player of the year, but at this time I don't think that coverage is enough to meet the bar of notability. Also, his career is done, so his odds of meeting WP:BASE/N are almost nil. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete what little coverage there is appears to be routine. Lepricavark (talk) 11:10, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
