Non-notable minor leaguer. PRODded, but subsequently DEPRODed with deprodder saying a he played in Taiwain, though nowhere in the article is that claim stated or cited. Alex (talk) 16:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep A simple Google search could demonstrate that Hit bull win steak was right when he deprodded the article and said he meets BASE/N. Gold played for the La New Bears of CPBL in 2009, meaning he automatically qualifies under notability guidelines.[1][2] Granted, the article needs serious improvement, but nominating it for deletion rather than adding to the article when you were told he is notable? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:59, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe he was lying. Alex (talk) 17:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Maybe he was lying"?? First of all, I find HBWS to be beyond reproach. Why would he lie? Secondly, it's YOUR responsibility to check out a claim like that prior to nominating for deletion. I'm glad you withdrew this request, but seriously, this is a waste of your time, my time, and the time of the closing admin, which could have been very easily avoided. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
