Ian Ostlund[edit]

Not a particular notable former minor league baseball player. The first half of his references have to deal with his amateur career and the other half are WP:ROUTINE. In fact, at least one of the references mainly focuses on another player and mentions Ostlund in just a little blurb. A large chunk of his article focuses on his high school career, and his high school career isn't notable enough to merit an article, in my opinion (his amateur career takes up about half the article). The article as a whole doesn't really establish notability. Alex (talk) 15:49, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable, fails GNG. Sourcing exists, but it is routine in nature. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's my understanding that minor league service doesn't make a person notable, and there's nothing else here. --Coemgenus (talk) 10:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
