Minor league managers have been deleted regularly in the past. This might need deleting. Or not. You decide. Alex (talk) 05:08, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep so are we nominating articles now who "might" not be notable. If your not even sure if someone is notable or not, maybe you shouldn't be nominating them. A good rule of thumb is to only nominate articles that you "know" aren't notable, not ones that you suspect are not notable. How do you know if they are notable or not? There are notability guidelines here on wikipedia that explain exactly which types are articles are notable and which are not. When you nominate an article, you should refer to a specific guideline that you feel that the article violates so that the people discussing the topic can have some frame of reference as to how the article could be fixed or whether it is impossible to be fixed.

- Comment I know they are not notable because I have nominated about 6 million of these and 80% of the time a consensus is reached that they are non-notable. Please do not try to school me, I have been doing this for a very long time. Thanks.

- If you "know" they are not notable, why do you allegedly fail 20 times out of 100 nominations? I'm only going by the number you just gave us. Vodello (talk) 17:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and close weak rationale. Vodello (talk) 16:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Week nominator rationale. Longtime professional player and manager.. Won league championships. Spanneraol (talk) 18:46, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and close Maybe the nominator should take their articles to peer review instead of deletion. That seems to be what they are using it for. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 17:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral I could be convinced the individual isn't notable, but not by the rational that similar articles have been deleted. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:46, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
