Deletion of Former Milwaukee Brewers minor league players

Comment: The purpose of the pages of current minor leaguers is to incubate bios on people who are borderline GNG cases at present, but have hope of reaching GNG through future work. Not all become notable, but many (I think most) do. Given the increased importance of prospecting in baseball, I believe this is beneficial for our project. However, if you want to move from current to former players, it becomes a logistical nightmare. How many thousands of players are former minor leaguers of each franchise? If their careers are over, then they aren't moving towards notability.  should be a sufficient reason for this not to exist. &ndash;&nbsp

Comment: although I understand that it could create a new precedent for MLB articles as these don't seem to exist for many other teams. Subsequently I would not oppose the idea of them being created. So long as the players listed on these articles ''are themselves notable'' I see no problem with inclusion. For example, 2 of the players in this discussed article have MLB.com profiles linked which is pretty much an automatic notability flag in that project. We might not |necessarily be a collection of rosters but just because someone gets a team demotion doesn't change their notability. The  project runs into this plenty, I'm sure

Comment: for some background on this, have a look over at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 17#Shane Justis - the page we're talking about here was created during the RfD. I respect Rich's desire to  information about this former player, but as I said there and Muboshgu said above, he is non-notable, and for the vast majority of players who ''formerly'' played in the minor leagues, that is the apex of their career, and they are not destined for notability per . Those who do are the ''few'' who get promoted to the major leagues, are notable for their major league careers, and are so categorized, but a list of former minor league players is very likely to always fail #INDISCRIMINATE

Comment: We have a list article for current minor league players who are major league prospects, but whose notability is marginal.  We may also have stand-alone articles for any current or former minor league player who satisfies the general notability guidelines per .  Can anyone please explain what the purpose of this list is

Comment: per  and  a player who was significant when he was a member of a team, doesn't immediately become insignificant when he leaves the team.  I understand the desire to maintain a current roster page, but  a sports directory, we cover the history of sport, up to the present day. All&nbsp;the&nbsp;best

Comment: per Muboshgu's explanation above.  We have lists of current minor league players within each major league baseball team's minor league system who are genuine prospects, but whose current notability is marginal.  Any minor leaguer, past or present, who clearly satisfies the general notability guidelines per  may already have a stand-alone article -- this list serves no purpose but for the listing of past minor leaguers who do not satisfy either  or .  A list of non-notable retired minor leaguers is redundant

Comment: This is just not a viable list for an article.  As mentioned above, there could be thousands of players here, most of whom would not be close to qualifying for a Wikipedia article.  I am not sure which guideline this violates off the top of my head, possibly , but even if per IAR this list should go.  I could see lists of minor leaguers being viable, such as players who played for a particular minor league team, especially a high level team and even better a team that had been independent, but this list would just be too large to be useful, or too incomplete to be useful, or both
