Non-notable minor league baseball figure. He played only three years in the minors, never going higher than AA. He managed in the minors, but with minimal success (he had winning seasons in only two of the seasons he managed). References are lacking, with the only one there being another Wiki. There are results of him on Google News Archive, but they appear to mostly be WP:ROUTINE. The major league positions he held, per WP:BASE/N, aren't inherently notable.

• Delete Not notable; there are news sources but as the nom says appear routine. Doesn't need his own article. NYyankees51 (talk) 17:57, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Has held some important front office positions with both the Mets and Cardinals. Spanneraol (talk) 20:49, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Per Span, and the references reflected in a search of his name (though not reflected in the article, as of yet).--Epeefleche (talk) 21:28, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete Asisstant GM doesn't meet WP:BASE/N. The sources I see have me on the fence, but just enough on the delete side to go with that. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:48, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep I think roles at Mets/Cardinals save this. Depends on whether you think Assisstant GM is a role covered by "a commissioner, president, general manager, owner, coach, or manager ".Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:38, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think it is, but I admit this case is on the borderline, and is not clear one way or the other. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:48, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As Muboshgu said, this is a borderline case. So, I default to keep. I think he's done enough in various coach positions to satisfy WP:GNG. Agent Vodello^{OK, Let's Party, Darling!} 00:10, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
