Proposed deletion of Rudi Ying


The article Rudi Ying has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Proposed deletion of Rudi Ying


The article Rudi Ying has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Currently all references fail WP:GNG per WP:ROUTINE. Also does not meet yet meet WP:NHOCKEY with an undistinguished junior career and has not yet played in a KHL game (which is his only chance to meet it at this point and only because of his Chinese nationality and the new Chinese KHL team). So at this point it definitely is WP:TOOSOON.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Rudi Ying
I see that you have recreated the already deleted article on Chinese-born hockey player Rudi Ying. Please respond to the following:
 * 1) – Social media, such as Twitter, is not considered a reliable source. So other that his Elite Prospects page (which does not gain a subject's notablity, it is just a stats page), your page currently has no reliable source.
 * 2) – Please read WP:NHOCKEY and WP:NHOCKEY/LA on the requirements a player must meet to automatically assume notability. Since he has not yet played a game for the KHL, he does not meet these requirements.
 * 3) – However, he can pass the General Notability requirements if he has  multiple independent sources that cover him specifically. I know of at least one article that Yahoo Sports printed about a year ago that meets that criterion. But he needs another to pass GNG. Is there one possibly in the Chinese media that covers his recent signing and playing for Kunlun? It seems like there should since he was the first Chinese player signed to the team.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any more significant reliable articles. So if these issues are not corrected, then I will likely nominate the page for deletion because of WP:TOOSOON notability. Feel free to message me with any questions. Yosemiter (talk) 13:40, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
