Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kasey Kiker
I disagree with the argument that he meets , which includes the statement, "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability."  The articles from the Google News search generally include only brief/trivial mentions of Kiker (he hurt his arm, he was assigned to Bakersfield), not enough to source an article that is more than a stub. (I also note that there are  problems in the current version of the article, which doesn't cite all of its sources.) There certainly is not a consensus that players in minor league baseball meet —even though the players are paid (making them literally professional), the leagues are essentially a training program for the major leagues, which I don't think represents the intent of the criteria of a "fully professional" league.  I think that the notability standards set by  represent a reasonable compromise and I support them. Kiker doesn't meet these notability standards. The article can be reintroduced when he meets the notability criteria
