Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurt Mertins
The comparison to Blake Beavan is invalid, because he had not even signed a contract, much less played. This article's subject played for 2 years as a professional baseball player. Minor leagues players are still fully professional players, so if he has played in the minors he satisfies  "Competitors who have played in a fully professional league." Minor league says "Minor leagues are professional sports leagues which are not regarded as the premier leagues in those sports." I expect they still compare favorable in salary and in press coverage to pro leagues in other sports in some smaller countries.  If you want to amend , then go there and edit it; otherwise follow it and keep articles about athletes who have played in the minor leagues
