The result was Keep. I'm ending this one a bit early due to the snowy nature, and that nom. seems to concede the keep points. Good show, all. Wknight94 talk 19:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable minor leaguer, good faith search brings up no coverage other than game recaps doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE. Giants27 T/C 12:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no coverage other than results, hasn't played in a top pro league, or amateur competition, so fails WP:ATHLETE. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 13:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, you're right, the WBC is the near the top level of the sport, so I am switching to keep. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 20:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I've added a number of refs to the article. While the Baseball World Cup and the World Baseball Classic aren't the Olympics (which will no longer have baseball, FWIW), it seems to me that being selected by your country for those competitions means you are one of the best at that sport in your country. Those appearances, plus the all-star appearance, plus the added refs, are enough to push me into the keep column.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yeah I noticed the selection right after I finished the nomination, thanks for brining that here though.--Giants27 T/C 20:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I'm curious if you realized your link to the gnews search was only for the last month. Had you intended to link to all dates instead?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh yeah my bad, fixed it.--Giants27 T/C 20:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep He played in the World Baseball Classic for Australia. If he's not notable for being a minor league baseball player, he is definitely notable for being competing in the WBC. Borgarde (talk) 06:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Appears to have non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources. (Thanks, Fabrictramp!) - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per the above comments, player appears to meet requirements according to WP:ATHLETE due to his inclusion in the WBC. Mandermagic (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for WBC participation, possible WP:SNOW. matt91486 (talk) 14:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
