Walker Buehler

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

College baseball player, that has not won any major college awards and the only ounce of notability at this point is that he is a top prospect for a Draft that is not until June. I don't like AFD'ing articles the day they are created, but i'm mot seeing at all how he passes GNG. Other than this article [1], everything else is about as routine as it gets.

Delete.. I wish you guys would stop creating articles for college and high school players before they get drafted. This guy is not notable at this juncture. Spanneraol (talk) 23:18, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm obviously one who you are referring to and I agree 100%. I went well overboard prior to last years draft. While I believe most now pass GNG, some of them probably didn't come close at the time of creating.--Yankees10 23:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously I don't agree, since I just created this an hour ago. I think the coverage combined is sufficient, and I will point out that this coverage should continue. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:20, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really confused on how you think the coverage is sufficient. One solid article is most certainly not enough. Also you can't just assume more coverage is coming. If that's the case, why didn't you just wait for more coverage to come? As of right now it was too soon to create this article.--Yankees10 23:33, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So how in the hell did Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Cilladi close as keep? I see you didn't comment there, but Spanneraol was one of the first keep votes. GNG is an art, not a science. I did a search for Buehler and I felt that it had enough to pass. It's a gut feeling, and maybe it's wrong, but maybe it's not. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:40, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hell if I know. I didn't want to get involved with those bullpen catchers, and whether they should have been automatic notables or whatever, but based on purely passing GNG it's bullshit that was considered enough to pass. Anyways referring to Buehler, based on the definition of GNG of having "Significant coverage" I just don't see how you could argue that he has that. I mean you just voted delete for Zach Collier and he has double this coverage.--Yankees10 23:50, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As for Cilladi, I wanted him kept because I believed that bullpen catchers are coaches. Spanneraol (talk) 05:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lots of top draft picks, which he isn't yet, have never made it to the majors. Potential does not guarantee notability and right now he doesn't meet any notability standards. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:45, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He doesn't meet WP:NBASEBALL and I would also argue that he has only received routine sports coverage and doesn't meet WP:GNG. Astudent0 (talk) 20:14, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
