Deletion of Matt Barnes (baseball)

Comment: to Boston Red Sox minor league players as a bio that is insufficient for its own page at this time, but that has the potential to deserve one in due time. The question is whether any of the national coverage is more than routine game summaries or statistical summaries. Note that  requires that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". This is the type of article that I personally would like to see kept but that fails . There is no consensus on WP that being an All-American confers permanent notability for college baseball players. There was a time when he would have until the end of the season the following year to meet either ATHLETE or GNG. I personally, would prefer to hold him to this standard and give him a chance to be called up this season or set some Minor League records.  The benefit to wikipedia is retention of encyclopedic detail. If the article result is deletion, maybe we could agree to hold this in the article incubator until the end of September out of respect for the old policy. I would vote to keep if this article had sufficient biographical detail about his high school career to give the article the feel that we have the ability to produce a biographical sketch with encyclopedic content. It would then pass  in my eyes.  One fact about his high school career fails this standard

Comment: Sufficient coverage to meet GNG.  From : "Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline requires multiple sources independent of the subject to cover the subject in order to establish notability. But this guideline does not specify the locality of the coverage." Also, subject may meet NSPORTS as a competitor in the World University Baseball Championship, which is an international competition. &ndash;&nbsp
