This article is about Billy Bates, who scored the winning run in Game 2 of the 1990 World Series. After scoring his run, he never played in Major League Baseball again. Also, he raced against an unchained cheetah and won. Therapyisgood ( talk) 14:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
I'll try to take a look at this soon. Might be claimed for WikiCup points. Hog Farm Talk 19:57, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
That's a first look. I'll give it another read-through soon. Hog Farm Talk 15:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
I don't think this article meets 1b or 1c of WP:FACR - there just seems to be an excessive focus on Bates' surroundings and not on Bates himself. There are also further available web sources that contain details about Bates himself not found in here. See [2], [3] has a couple details, [4] says that his name appears in the UT Longhorns baseball records books 32 times and gives some examples, when we're given basically nothing about his college career besides an overview of what the Longhorns did in the '83 CWS. These are just a few example sources; I didn't have to look very hard online to find them.
Oppose on 1b and 1c and suggest withdrawal. It doesn't seem like recent sourcing has been particularly stoutly perused, and there are many places in the article where the article omits details about Bates and often focuses more on Bates' surroundings than Bates himself. I'd recommend taking this to WP:Peer review. Hog Farm Talk 16:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Coord comment -- I am going to archive this and recommend rework take place outside the FAC process, followed by PR, as suggested above. Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 22:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
