equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis." By this, I would conclude that WP:ATHLETE does not mean that all college athletes are inherently notable just by having played on a major college team, NCAA Division I or CIS. Strictly speaking, the highest level of amateur baseball competition would be the

Longstanding consensus has held that simple collegiate competition does not itself make the athlete notable — it's definitely not the highest possible level of competition, at least for such a widely-played sport as baseball. Only the awards that he's received, such as the MVP for the league, make

Canadian Intercollegiate Sports (formerly CIAU). One can point out that the OUA is not as strong a league as, say, the SEC baseball teams in America. I'd look at it as Hawley being selected as one of the four best collegiate pitchers in Canada during at least one season in his career.

college field hockey players would remain the same. What is true is that the
Knowledge (XXG) guidelines confer the presumption of notability on persons who have "competed in a fully professional league"; as of yet, there is no similar guideline for players in an amateur league.
