Zach Putnam

Non-notable minor league baseball player that has no claim of notability. Google news search returns just 8 hits, most of which are published by Univ of Michigan. Can be recreated when he plays at a level that previous consensus has accepted as substantial for notability or he otherwise gains notability. Grsz¹¹ 03:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Although not very notable, a standard Google search provides 665,000 results, a good deal of which are about this baseball player. It looks like a person spent a great deal of time on this article, so I see no harm in keeping it. It's not like it's fancruft or anything like that. -Axmann8 (Talk) 05:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as you can see, I've voted to delete an article about a "drag king". If such an article should exist, then this article should as well.-Axmann8 (Talk) 07:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You might also wish to see WP:POINT. :-) Outsider80 (talk) 10:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is your WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument invalid, it's contradictory...you voted delete on the other article. Grsz¹¹ 13:34, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with the caveat, outlined by nominator, of possible recreation in the near future. And maybe it isn't fancruft--but one has to admit that it does not have the plethora of published sources that, say, Murray Hill (performer) has. Drmies (talk) 20:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (without redirect) to Cleveland Indians minor league players. The content should be shortened to one or two paragraphs (consistent with the other short biographies on the page) by dropping the material on high school, personal life, etc. A redirect is not appropriate because his name will presumably be dropped from the article when he leave the Indians minor league system.

Merge - per BRMo, the person in question is not notable enough for his own article,per WP:ATHLETE but there's enough for inclusion in the list. FingersOnRoids♫ 21:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, for the same reasons the nominator stated. I actually don't see speedy recreation as an issue, the quickest would be a September call-up, which isn't that near. Wizardman 22:12, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
