Non-notable minor league figure. Never reached major leagues, so he fails WP:BASE/N. References are lacking and those that are provided seem to be from sites that would violate WP:NOTSTATS. Alex (talk) 16:36, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Other source are available, you just didn't look for them. He's a long time accomplished minor league manager who seems to me to have enough coverage to establish GNG. The article needs improvement, but not deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:28, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Muboshgu. Spanneraol (talk) 18:07, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per others above. Also, I love it when I de-PROD a page with a specific rationale and then Alex brings it to AfD two minutes later. This guy has turned into Mr. Bad Faith. — NY-13021 (talk) 20:30, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
