According to the article, never actually played in a Major League game. Neither [1] nor [2] are independent of the subject as they are heavily based on interviews. The rest of the sources are low quality. Ovinus (talk) 01:57, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep he's got a feature article on mlb.com and in the Philly Inquirer [3] and the Courrier Post [4]. Oaktree b (talk) 12:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Not voting because I worked on this page so I'm a bit biased, but I will note that Singer was a phantom ballplayer and we do have articles for many of these players in spite of them having not played a game in the Majors. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:00, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Based on the articles provided by Oaktree b, the MLB.com article, and this article, I believe Singer meets WP:NBASIC. Hatman31 (talk) 15:53, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Also, in terms of sources from before he was called up, there is this from the Athletic (a national outlet), this, this, this, this, this, and this (arguably non-independent, but could help flesh out his article). The ability to sort Google searches by date really comes in handy for this kind of thing! Hatman31 (talk) 21:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources presented, and also because news sources that interview the subject are still independent. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:00, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
