The league that Almeida has played in requires preeminent honors for players to be notable, and he lacks such. John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:56, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Yet another ridiculous nomination.  First sentence, "...who currently plays for Coventry Blaze in the UK's Elite Ice Hockey League".  One click on Elite Ice Hockey League: "...it is the highest level of ice hockey competition in the United Kingdom."  Quick check of WP:NHOCKEY: "Played one or more games in an existing or defunct top professional league".  --- PageantUpdater (talk) 15:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Rlendog, I didn't see the first line of NHOCKEY and the link to the list of leagues, leading to a misunderstanding. --- PageantUpdater (talk) 23:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * There is an explicit list of what leagues qualify and the league in question is not on that list. It is PageantUpdater who is ignoring the ridiculously low criteria of notability for sports players not me. This vote should be discounted because it goes against the clearly stated policy which is an explicit list. I looked over the list twice and made sure the league he played in was bot included.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:47, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - He would not meet criterion #1 of WP:NHOCKEY as the UK Elite Ice Hockey League is not regarded as a "top level league" under WP:NHOCKEY/LA. But Almeida was a collegiate All-American, which satisfied criterion #4. Rlendog (talk) 16:14, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep looks like the nom should have checked the entire list more carefully. Lepricavark (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:NHOCKEY Criteria #4 as a college All-American ice hockey player. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:15, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes WP:GNG. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   13:00, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
