The result was no consensus. Despite two relists no discussion of the sources mentioned by Lizard the Wizard happened. Just saying WP:TOOSOON without discussing whether the article currently meets WP:BASIC or WP:GNG is not sufficient. That the article might be recreated anyway is not a valid reason for deletion if he is already notable now. SoWhy 12:48, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rasmussen is not signing with Tampa Bay, so we can't merge this to Tampa Bay Rays minor league players. There are some sources (like this), but I don't think there are enough for WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:13, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete still at college baseball level, there are very few notable college baseball players, and he has nothing to suggest he is one of the few.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Is pitching a perfect game not sufficient? Especially when considered with everything else, such as being the ace on a team that won 60+ games and only lost 6 and being drafted in the first round. Is college baseball still not at that level of notability? Lizard (talk) 15:32, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Lizard the Wizard: The specific guideline here is WP:NCOLLATH. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes GNG in my opinion. Gained national media attention for pitching a perfect game,[1][2][3] national media attention for being drafted in the first round of the draft,[4] and national media attention for the fact that he won't sign with the Rays.[5] Lizard (talk) 16:43, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete WP:TOOSOON. The page will most likely be re-created if he is drafted (and signs a pro contract) next year. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
