Question. Has he played in a major league baseball game? That seems to be the crux here, but I was unable to confirm this as I don't understand what it means for him to be 'drafted' by a major league team, and couldn't find confirmation of him having played in the major league.

No he hasnt.. he was drafted but only played for the minor league affiliates. Spanneraol (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - fails WP:NBASE but passes WP:GNG with at least 2 significant articles about him linked in the article in question plus I also found this one. Rlendog (talk) 15:56, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails GNG as not notable. Fails WP:NBASE and sources available are mundane news reports (including the one provided above) allowing only for a career pseudo biography permanent stub. Otr500 (talk) 04:48, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GNG requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I am not sure what defines a "mundane" news report or why this article, even if it is "mundane", would not be considered significant coverage given that it is a substantial length article from a reliable independent source of which Lindsey is the subject. This article is also all about Lindsey and is hardly a news report. And this is also a significant length article about Lindsey from an independent reliable source and so I am not sure why this would not meet the actual GNG definition.

Keep. Meets WP:GNG, per Rlendog, which overrides WP:NBASE. Ejgreen77 (talk) 14:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Los Angeles Angels first-round draft picks. The coverage cited for GNG is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL and thus actually doesn't go towards establishing GNG. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
