Non-notable minor league player. The sourcing is decent, but it's not at "multiple reliable source" level for GNG. Wizardman 23:24, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well here's the question: Do the WBC qualifiers count the same as the WBC proper? He played for the Canadian team in the qualifying round, but they didn't reach the main tournament. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IMO no. Being on a team that didn't make it to the tournament itself is just that. Wizardman 02:36, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that yes, it does count, because the qualifying round is part of the tournament. But this may not have been the intention of WP:BASEBALL/N. My input is keep. Tchaliburton (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The qualifying rounds are not part of the actual WBC, they simply allow you to qualify to play in it. Spanneraol (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC) Change to Merge per Alex below. Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is your basis for this assertion? The qualifiers are always referred to as a round of the tournament and it's listed as part of the tournament schedule. (see here) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchaliburton (talk • contribs) 14:49, October 17, 2014

The same reason why the olympics qualifying events arent considered to be actually part of the olympics.Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Olympics aren't comparable. They have separate qualifying events. The WBC does not. The qualifying round is part of the WBC as far as I can tell. Tchaliburton (talk) 18:41, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The qualifying events for the WBC take place months before the rest of the tournament, they can be considered separate events also. Spanneraol (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may consider them separate events, but they are not. Tchaliburton (talk) 19:22, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm curious about Spanner is why you say delete and not merge, considering that there are enough sources to at least make a credible case for GNG (though it may not make it, I'm debating between keep and merge myself). – Muboshgu (talk) 14:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really it's because i didn't realize he was with the Rangers... the article didn't mention it before (said he was part of the Crawdads) and i was too lazy to look into it. My bad. Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah gotcha. I hadn't seen the page until that was corrected, then. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Texas Rangers minor league players. Alex (talk) 04:36, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First round pick with enough coverage imo.--Yankees10 23:14, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
