replies: text: Again I looked around on google. I found a couple of pages that were clearly cut and pasted from this page, a forum post asking if the nickname is accurate, and a blog post making up nicknames for Buchholz (dirty wasn't on the list). And his baseball-almanac page says "none" for nickname. It's pretty clear to me that the nickname isn't in general usage. (Boring nicknames annoy me.) 24.239.167.237 (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

message: He doesn't seem notable enough for a WP article, although he might be in a while. Steve Dufour 16:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He's plenty notable. He has regular media attention, an amazing college career, and will be a major leaguer soon. Similar to Mark Prior when he first was drafted. -- Ubergenius 17:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable

message: Bucholz has been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. He also has demonstrable wide name recognition as the top pitching prospect in one of the most prominent baseball teams. He also has played in a fully professional league (I.E. minor league baseball as well as a spring training start with the big league club). See WP:BIO. He is clearly notable.--Thomas.macmillan 05:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Just out of curiosity, why did you nominate it to be deleted in the first place? As a member of Wikiproject baseball, I'd hope you'd think a top pitching prospect is notable.--Thomas.macmillan 05:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has lots of information but no references to back it up.  I marked it as unreferenced to bring attention to this. --Tu13es 02:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Lack of References

message: FYI, There has been some confustion tonight about Buchholz's No Hitter. He is the 17th rookie pitcher in the MLB to achieve a no-hitter and the 16th Red Sox player to have a no-hitter. I added the reference from the Red Sox news page to state as much. RobHoitt- 02:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: it says he is the 17th red sox pitcher to throw a no hitter and no referrence to the # of rookie to do so in official redsox news, however it is possible for that information to be wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.70.50 (talk) 02:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooops, my error, I misread the quote. He did indeed was the 17th, I made the appropriate correction. RobHoitt- 03:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: No-Hitter

message: Is he related to Colorado's Taylor Buchholz? --Smarterthanu91 • Talk 05:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not according to baseball-reference which usually has that type of information right at the top of the players page Mr mark taylor 11:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relation? 

message: I removed the section relating to his laptop theft. The placement in the article was bad, and given that he is now a highly touted pitching prospect (with an already brilliant major league career) and has clearly put these things behind him, it seems somewhat vengeful to note what was likely teenager stupidity. 
If someone wants to add it back in, noting that other teams had concerns about him relating to this incident (and this is the reason he fell in the draft), that seems reasonable. But to simply list someone's past transgressions - in a sentence about where they attended highschool, no less - doesn't really strike me as appropriate for a living person's Wiki entry. 
Apologies if I have overstepped my bounds. Also apologies for only signing in after the removal.

replies: text: Put it around where it is mentioned that Buchholz was drafted by the Red Sox. Then after that sentence, give an explanation to why he wasn't drafted higher, using the laptop theft story. --Street20 (talk) 04:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Laptop Theft 

message: When editing Wikipedia, users should be aware of the view of their edits in the context of the future.  The brief section following his no-hitter subsection is wholly unnecessary given this view.  Clay's 3 innings of relief work against the Orioles, in the scheme of an encyclopedic entry, is absurd.  Links to baseball-reference.com are already provided at the bottom of this page, and game logs are accessible to view such information.  Of course events such as his no-hitter are worthy of a mention and a subsection.  As Buchholz's career proceeds, it is completely impossible to continue to provide the type of game-by-game analysis that this precedent would set.  This article should be a broad view of his career and, where applicable, his personal life.  The information contained in this section is unnecessary when viewed outside of the scope of 'recentism'.President David Palmer (talk) 11:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: 2007 Section

message: Just to let everyone know, I plan to add a section detailing Buchholz's major league statistics. I feel this is justified given Buchholz's status as a starting pitcher in the current (2008) rotation. I wholeheartedly welcome any suggestions as to how to improve such a section. Thanks.
