Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Hissey
I kind of hate to do this, because I fully support the attempts to create bright-line rules for notability of athletes. The problem is, while this particular player fails the sub-guidelines, he meets the general guideline at . For sources we have two articles about him individually http://www.dailyprogress.com/cdp/sports/cavalier_insider/ci_baseball/article/hissey_weighing_options/23432/ here (local daily newspaper for Charlottesville, VA - it appears that the player was going to attend school there) and http://rays.scout.com/2/670485.html here Scout.com article - (I believe that this is considered a reliable source for sports articles as they are independent of the professional leagues, and have their own reporting staff).  There is also a brief mention about his signing http://news.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1113287 here, (Boston Herald) although there is second paragraph relevant to the story that is now archived, and can't be seen from the free site. I'll post a brief exerpt to the Afd talk page. So, in sum, while I won't lose sleep if this article were deleted, there is sourcable information to establish notability
