Notability of this article[edit]

It's unclear to me whether the sources used in this article confer notability as per WP:GNG. There is only one source that "[addresses] the subject directly in detail", and one of the sources is piggybacking off of his father's notability (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Invalid criteria). He also doesn't pass WP:ATH (hasn't competed at the highest professional level of his sport, otherwise known as Major League Baseball). In short, this should possibly be merged to the Los Angeles Dodgers minor league players list until sufficient coverage is available. There are several players on that list who have more information available than Gordon and they don't have their own articles yet either. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 02:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He is the Dodgers top prospect, I thought it was agreed that being a top prospect usually means they are notable for articles.--Yankees10 16:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of any such agreement. Per what guideline? KV5 (Talk • Phils) 16:48, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Im not sure if you were involved in the discussion when User:Gjr rodriguez kept making a bunch of non-notable minor league players, but I believe that it was agreed that top prospects would be kept, I could be wrong.--Yankees10 16:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was involved in the discussion, and as far as I was aware, prospects with coverage that didn't have enough to merit their own articles were to be merged into the team lists. From reviewing a couple of the Gjr AfDs just now, I don't see any consensus that specific prospects are to be kept if they don't meet WP:BIO. I think the above concerns on the significance of the sources provided are enough for a merge to be considered. If you'd like to expose the article to a larger forum, we could copy this discussion to WT:MLB or I could start an AfD strictly for the discussion. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should bring it to WP:baseball, but not AFD, It shouldnt be deleted.--Yankees10 17:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, AfD is not just for deletion; merge is always a possible outcome of an AfD, and that's probably the most likely outcome there. That being said, I'll open a discussion at WT:MLB. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think Gordon is significant enough to have his own article per added sources. Spanneraol (talk) 02:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There seems to be enough sources to satisfy WP:N
