• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, American football, Baseball, Basketball, and Ohio. Nixleovel (talk) 01:26, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Newspapers.com is loaded with sources (beyond just mentions in game recaps), he passes GNG without issue. Wizardman 01:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - coverage here, here, first page of this article which is apparently continued later in the paper although that page doesn't seem to have been scanned into newspapers.com; there's coverage all over on Newspapers.com which isn't surprising for someone with a multi-year MLB career and successful head coaching tenure. Hog Farm _Talk 01:51, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and improve per Wizardman and Hog Farm above. BD2412 T 01:57, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, anyone who plays MLB is going to meet GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:04, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep easily notable. SportingFlyer T·C 07:02, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per all above as a WP:GNG pass. Not finding anything in a Google search should not be terribly surprising, given that this person's playing career ended in 1925, his coaching career ended in 1932, and that he died in 1970. For pre-Internet Era figures like this one, a more thorough WP:BEFORE is necessary. Ejgreen77 (talk) 07:31, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as an obviously notable if minor figure. As said above, a Google search is not necessarily the best option for persons like this, and many sources will be available that are not online, or not easily searchable online. P Aculeius (talk) 13:29, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per GNG. Nominations like this are why the old NSPORT guidelines were useful, they avoided wasting time on nominations like this. Rlendog (talk) 13:43, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep MLB player, let alone an Opening Day pitcher, obviously passed GNG. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 18:21, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
