Keep per his playing for the Cuban National Team. Spanneraol (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As per WP:ATHLETE he was competed at the equivalent of a fully professional level with the Cuba national team because Cuba does not have a professional league. Please see Talk:Raúl Valdez where I have listed his play-off record of three wins, zero losses; has pitched in a Caribbean Series on a foreign Venezuelan island; and has received coverage from ESPN. Per WP:BASIC, Valdez is notable because he has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. --Ronbo76 (talk) 19:32, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
