- Delete With all honesty it probably passes GNG with another few articles I found, but the coverage is pretty much 100% because he happens to throw a knuckleball. I don't agree in keeping an article because sportswriters love this type of stuff. He's still a run of the mill non-prospect.--

- Your deletion reason boils down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If it meets GNG, it meets GNG. – Muboshgu ( talk) 16:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Notable coverage is notable coverage, even if it's largely based on one facet of the guy's game. He gets considerable mention in these links: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. I only say weak keep, though, because many of the articles come from the same source, the Baltimore Sun. Alex ( talk) 20:12, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect. Subject received one article where the subject received significant coverage from a non-primary or secondary reliable sources, where the subject was the primary topic of the content; this is from USA Today (not an insignificant source). Beyond that the subject has only received passing mention, that does not meet significant coverage. In relation to the subject's sporting career, the subject received significant coverage for one event, multiple times, from multiple reliable sources: CSNBaltimore, MASN, and Baltimore Sun. This is for Doping. Therefore, it is my opinion that the subject falls under WP:BIO1E, therefore as the subject is notable primarily for the doming event, the subject's article should be recreated to a redirect to the list regarding the event here: List of Major League Baseball players suspended for performance-enhancing drugs#Players with only minor-league experience or former MLB players. If the subject receives significant coverage outside of doping, or plays in a major league game, than this article should be recreated and expanded.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 05:55, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

- Keep I think the sources provided are significant, and combined pass muster via GNG. I disagree that they're all about doping, as RightCowLeftCoast suggest, as Yankees10 demonstrates that a lot of the coverage is about his throwing a knuckleball. The reason for coverage doesn't matter, just whether there's enough of it that's in depth. – Muboshgu ( talk) 16:13, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
