Proposed deletion of Matt Finn


The article Matt Finn has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Finn


A tag has been placed on Matt Finn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

New hockey player articles
Before creating any new player articles, please review WP:NHOCKEY carefully. Both Matt Finn and Michael Webster (ice hockey) (which was improperly created apparently over a WP:Disambiguation article) fail to meet the standards set there. The OHL captain of the year award is a minor award that has no demonstrated automatic notability. Both people must pass the general notability guidelines with multiple independent secondary sources and all that I have found on either player is considered routine sources. Routine sources, such as primary team pages, stats pages, and local coverage, do not satisfy independent or secondary coverage. Creating substandard pages creates more work for those of us that maintain pages and going through otherwise unnecessary deletion procedures. Yosemiter (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kyle Wood (ice hockey)
Hello, XBobcat. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Kyle Wood (ice hockey), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
