Notability

[edit]

Bell has not played a professional game yet, but that is immaterial. WP:GNG presumes notability if there is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". In this case, there is significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. He received a bonus that is a record for a player not drafted in the first round. He's won numerous high school awards and honors. There is more than enough here to satisfy GNG, regardless of whether or not he passes WP:NSPORTS. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:35, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well I disagree about it being significant coverage. This is the same amount of coverage that every player drafted within the first few rounds would get and I don't find it being enough for an article. I'm gonna leave a link at WP:Baseball, might as well see what they think.--Yankees10 01:58, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This guys only in "A" ball.. article would be more appropriate on the minor league player page. Spanneraol (talk) 02:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Muboshgu that the player is notable per WP:GNG. His baseball career has been profiled by independent nationwide sources such as ESPN as well by major newspapers in Texas and elsewhere.--TM 02:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Family tree

[edit]

Does he belong on the Gus Bell family tree? Gus -> Buddy -> Mike & Dave -> ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.143.140 (talk) 13:43, April 13, 2015

No, this Bell is not related to those Bells. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
