Merge The usual practice with active minor league players is to merge their info onto the parent teams minor league page. In this case: Atlanta Braves minor league players. Kinston eagle (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Merge to Atlanta Braves minor league players as he is young (25 years old) and currently on the Braves' 40 man roster, he could easily be promoted to the majors at some point in the next few years. This article should be kept due to WP:POTENTIAL and another AfD could be opened if he doesn't reach the majors in the future. --Muboshgu (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:Potential doesn't apply here, the argument you've used for keep is actually almost the exact for WP:FUTURE. Bhockey10 (talk) 00:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Changed my vote. --Muboshgu (talk) 00:18, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If he was already a AA or AAA player the WP:Potential argument could have been valid but looking at the article and the reference to his stats- he's mostly played A ball. Most likely he'll be reassigned to AA or AAA after spring training. I'm not a big fan of the Atlanta Braves minor league players as other sport Wikiprojects have stricter notability guidelines for minor league player. Essentially we're taking lots of non-notable stubs about these minor league players and just combining them onto a larger article. But that's an argument not really for this AfD and it seems that's how Wikiproject Baseball currently handles minor league player articles that aren’t notable enough yet to have their own articles.

• Merge per above. Spanneraol (talk) 05:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I tend to consider guys currently on the 40-man roster as notable enough for an article. Alex (talk) 07:21, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per above. I think the "ever played a single at-bat in MLB" is a wide enough net; we don't need to cast further by including people who have been on the 40-man roster. Ma^t_chups 18:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
