• Comment. Has anyone else looked at the edit history of this article? The first AfD cited above right was regarding a minor Australian author; the current article concerns an American minor league baseball player. Somehow the edit history for these two different subjects has been combined (see [diff]). Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on? 18:20, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

• It looks like an unintentional history merge. Both the writer's and the baseball player's articles were deleted at different times. When the player's article was undeleted, the edits for both articles were restored. • Gene93k (talk) 20:30, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, Gene, that's damn odd, but that sounds like some sort of clerical/administrative error. No grand mystery. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:16, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Non-notable minor league baseball player. Subject never played in a Major League game and is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NBASEBALL, and I see no evidence that the subject satisfies the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

• Delete since he doesn't satisfy WP:GNG and no longer satisfies the neutered WP:WPBB/N. Agent Vodello^{OK, Let's Party, Darling!} 00:55, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Some coverage in The Tribune (San Luis Obispo)([1]), but no other publications discuss him, so he falls short of GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as not notable. AutomaticStrikeout 04:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Late to the party, but I agree. Go Phightins! 02:29, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
