Anton Zlobin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Junior player who fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. Can be recreated when/if he meets it or otherwise achieves notability. Was a contested prod based on there are other worse pages that haven't been deleted. DJSasso (talk) 17:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as above. Gods, I really, really, really hate the nonsense where no one who contests a prod ever has to give a valid reason, or indeed any reason at all.   Ravenswing   03:11, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: played and scored the winning goal in the 2012 Memorial Cup. Signed an entry-level professional contract. For me is enough to keep it over the WP:NHOCKEY. Giskard (talk) 09:20, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. As big a goal as it was for Shawinigan, scoring the GWG in the Memorial Cup does not confer notabilty (in fact, there is no reference specifically discussing Zlobin and the goal).  Likewise, signing a pro contract also does not confer notablity per WP:CRYSTAL.  If and when he makes the NHL (or KHL, SEL, etc), this can be revisited. Resolute 14:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: He didn't just scrore the winning goal for the 2012 Memorial Cup, he led Shawinigan in scoring for 2011-12 and then Val-d'Or in 2012-13. Being drafted and signing an entry-level contract means he's also not going to disappear like many junior players. And there is a reference to his 'big goal' in the 4th paragraph.

 * Actually there have been players who have led the leagues in scoring and were huge stars in junior that never went anywhere in professional hockey. Not to mention that any random accident between now and their first game in the NHL (or whatever) could stop notability from happening. We are not a crystal ball. -DJSasso (talk) 01:44, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * True, but what I meant by that is he's not akin the kind of players who are great the junior level but have no NHL interest shown in them once they try to turn pro, like Len Soccio or Guy Rouleau. -PensRule11385 (talk) 15:32, 28 May 2013 (CST)
