Contested prod. Subject fails WP:ATHLETE as nothing more than an amateur hockey player, like thousands others.  Grsz  talk  22:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. Person in question is on a professional team, and that clearly renders him notable per WP:ATHLETE.  I also find it troublesome that the nominator removed information from the article before nominating it for deletion. McJeff (talk) 23:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Which professional team does he play for? Has he signed a contract? Has he played a game as a professional?  Grsz  talk  23:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Article answers all the questions you have asked, as even a cursory reading would inform you. McJeff (talk) 23:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me correct your misunderstandings. He was drafted by the Blues. In order to be "on" a professional team, he would have to have a contract, which he does not. And in order to pass WP:ATHLETE, he would have to have competed at a professional level, which, again, he has not.  Grsz  talk  00:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete OHL maybe considered professional by NCAA, but the players only recive a stipend rather than a proper salary. Former OHL players don't loose eligibility to play for Canadian universities, and are not considered pros by CIS. Therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. -- E ivindt@c 00:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Previous keep misunderstands being drafted with being on a team. Hundreds of players are drafted and never set foot in a professional league. Fails WP:ATHLETE and to give him an article because he might someday play professionally fails WP:Crystal. He also falls far short of the notability standards for hockey players. -Djsasso (talk) 22:51, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, once he actually plays for St. Louis then he is notable to have an article.  Black  ngold29   01:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:ATHLETE and the WP:HOCKEY notability standards.  Sixth round picks do not often make the major leagues, and he is unlikely to play at any professional level for at least a year.  Unfortunately, we see this syndrome every year, where a raft of junior league players get written up for articles just because they're drafted, and many never see a professional game.

 * Delete per nom. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 05:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If he plays professionally or wins a significant award in juniors, the article can be re-created.  Patken4 (talk) 22:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails notability standards across the board. – Nurmsook! (talk) 05:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to a larger article. Too little details and informations, keep this as a isolate article is nt going to help much, plus WP is not a tionary.-- Freewayguy  Msg USC 00:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
