Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Costello (baseball)
Firstly, Costello was neither a Top Prospect nor was he technically "close to making the majors" as the jump from AA to the MLB is still a pretty significant step. Secondly, with the exception of his death the coverage is pretty routine for a minor leaguer (high school and college coverage, game reports, "local boy doing well", etc.). Thirdly, the leagues that are included in  were chosen because of the level of play and to be frank the ABL is currently not nearly high enough to be considered for an inclusionary standard. Best
