Sportsperson BLP doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO - coverage (in the sources which are reliable) is WP:ROUTINE for a minor-league baseball player. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Baseball, and Tennessee. Shellwood (talk) 23:00, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete.. run of the mill former minor leaguer. Coverage is all routine.. including the sources identified in the previous afd. Spanneraol (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is not routine coverage. (Neither is this.) The thing is, being a minor leaguer is irrelevant; he was notable as a college baseball player (including playing for the United States national baseball team). StAnselm (talk) 23:35, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those articles are routine coverage that most minor league players receive... nothing about his college career is notable and he did not play for the national team in any notable tournaments. Spanneraol (talk) 23:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Per WP:ROUTINE, routine coverage would be something like "Hodges struck out against Caltech". StAnselm (talk) 00:11, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Google books listing is just his stats and a brief bio... the other one is just a brief write up from his local paper.. neither are significant. By your standards every player who ever played college ball would be notable. Spanneraol (talk) 00:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep First of all, WP:ROUTINE applies to events and not persons. Second, the article meets WP:NATHLETE and WP:GNG based on the significant coverage already present in the article plus the two sources listed above. Frank Anchor 04:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As I said in the previous AFD for this "Minor leaguers don't usually get this sort of coverage. He thus meets WP:GNG." There were sources found in the previous AFD, which contribute to the general notability guidelines being met. Chattanoogan, Times Free Press, Washington Times, Cleveland.com, Ohio.com.

• Admin comment Billy Blevins has been pblocked from the article for seven days to allow this discussion to continue without disruption. Should he be confirmed to be a sock or anything else come from Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#editor_moved_a_page_still_at_AFD_to_draftspace, no objection to my pblock being modified. Star Mississippi 15:48, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, based on the five articles linked by Dream Focus (the last of which appears to be down, but was archived here). All five are from reliable secondary sources and are primarily about Hodges, so he meets the site's notability criteria. Hatman31 (talk) 20:49, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:36, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
