Anthony Duclair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY or WP:GNG. While it looks extensive all of the sources used are passing mentions and listings of stats and people. They aren't by any means in depth. Can be recreated when/if he actually becomes notable. DJSasso (talk) 16:37, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep The player in question seems notable to me. He is a 3rd round pick in 2013 NHL Entry Draft, and you'll notice in the article, that many of the players drafted around him have articles, too. It seems unfair to single out just one player. SOXROX (talk) 14:12, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Only first round picks meet WP:NHOCKEY. The others around him in the draft meet WP:NHOCKEY because they already played in top level professional leagues which this player has not. But as Patken mentions most of those around him are just redirects. -DJSasso (talk) 11:52, 15 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails NHOCKEY and GNG.  Can be re-created if he does.  The only other players drafted in the 3rd round with actual articles, not just re-directs, are those that played in a fully professional and top level league, like the KHL or SEL, or meet the NHOCKEY standard by being a 1st team all-star in an amateur league.

 * Keep - Abundance of independent reliable sources demonstrates that this subject meets WP:GNG. Dolovis (talk) 00:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Except that they aren't about him in depth and are only passing mentions. None of them meet the requirements of WP:GNG. -DJSasso (talk) 12:27, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * So you said with your nom. There is no need to repeat your disapproval in answer to everyone who votes for keeping this article. Please allow other editors to give their opinions without your argumentative comments in reply. I think the many independent and reliable sources are enough to meet GNG, and you have stated, twice now, that you do not. Just let this AfD play out without the POV banter.

 * The whole pointt of Afds is discussion, you are supposed to debate back and forth. That is how consensus is achieved. You make a statement, I challenge it. You back up your point by stating how they meet the requirements of being substantial in depth references etc. -DJSasso (talk) 15:08, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. An abundance of trivial mentions does not a GNG pass make. Resolute 15:14, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Many trivial and passing mentions.  The few that near slightly more significant coverage are only from very local newspapers.  Was an outside possibility for a 1st round pick in 2013, but that since that hasn't happened, I do not believe there is enough to meet GNG here.  No need to rush into page creation.
