Untitled edit
This page was proposed for deletion on January 4, 2007 by user User:Oo7565. I strongly protest this decision as I believe it is notable as per WP:bio guidelines:
Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles. Third-party verification from a non-trivial publication outside of publications by sponsors of the sport or activity should be provided to demonstrate that the subject is widely recognized?meeting the first criterion?as performing in a fully professional league or at the highest level.
Mr. Dawley played in seven different seasons and appeared in 275 games. If he is not noteabel (as the user has spelled that word), then he/she should propose deleting more than half the articles on Wikipedia mikemoto 23:10 2007 4 January UTC

mikemoto is correct. Bill Dawley and all other major league baseball players are automatically notable. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk|contribs) 23:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
