Is not notable according to WP:NBASE. Does not pass GNG. Sources available either are routine (game performances) or not significant (general prospect overviews). Will not have sustained interest absent meeting WP:NBASE. Should be deleted & redirect to prospects list for time being. This rationale is explained in further depth in this essay I wrote.

Redirect to Toronto Blue Jays minor league players#Danny Jansen, as it was before, until notability is established (which coincidentally may not be too far off). Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 00:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently a redirect vote is a delete vote. Who knew? Close it. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 18:44, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @Barkeep49: You should withdraw this. Jansen is being promoted to the majors today. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I avoid these Wiki policy discussions because I have made no attempt to understand the policies. However, it seems to me that whenever a player is added to a 25-man major league roster, then he gets his own page (heck sometimes just the 40-man roster). Why is Jansen different? There should be a firm policy that editors can follow. Perhaps something like, doesn't get their own page until first major league start (probably tomorrow in this case) or appearance. Or better yet, not until they have played in 10 games (a bit more notability that way).~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpfan776 (talk • contribs) 13:32, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

@Cpfan776: We have a firm policy. WP:NBASE says playing in one MLB game makes one inherently notable. Common sense, though, suggests there's nothing wrong with splitting him off sooner than his debut. Especially since if he does get hurt in warmups and never plays, there's likely enough sourcing anyway for WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:33, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep Obviously notable now. Should have never been AFD'd anyway. A discussion on whether he was notable to have an article or be a redirect should have taken place on Jansen's talk page or WP:baseball.--Yankees10 18:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• OK, so this is closed, right? Cpfan776 (talk) 19:44, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• I agree that this should now be a keep. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:42, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep Obviously notable now. We can't close this as withdrawn because Trut-h-urts_man !voted delete redirect, but if he strikes that vote, we can finish this and stop wasting everybody's time. Smartyllama (talk) 13:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I stand corrected, he !voted redirect, not delete. Nonetheless, this couldn't be speedied unless he changed it, which he has. Someone uninvolved can close this now, or nom can close it himself as withdrawn probably. Smartyllama (talk) 18:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per all above. Total time-waster of an AfD nomination. Ejgreen77 (talk) 14:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. FWIW, he now meets WP:NBASE, too. Ejgreen77 (talk) 14:02, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Given nomination has been withdrawn and there are no outstanding non-keep !votes, and the rationale doesn't apply anymore anyway, either Barkeep49 as withdrawing nominator or any uninvolved user can now close this as speedy keep so we don't waste anyone else's time. However, per WP:NAC, I cannot as I am involved and only a nominator withdrawing their own nomination can close if they are involved. Smartyllama (talk) 14:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
