Contested prod. Non-notable college hockey player. Notability is not inherited. Smashvilletalk 03:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:N. Anti  venin  07:48, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I had originally the article for the exact reasons the nom now states.  Maybe Blake will be notable some day, but that day isn't today.   P HARMBOY  ( moo ) ( plop ) 15:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE -Djsasso (talk) 23:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, for the reasons I mentioned in Talk in contesting the prod: "he's an edge case to be certain, but I think the combination of his being a potential fourth-generation NHL player, a US junior national teamer, and the first Tennessee-trained player to be drafted into the league pushes him slightly above the notability waterline."  VT hawkeyetalk to me 23:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Definately see where you are coming from, but I think its largly a case of WP:CRYSTAL. Just wait the year or so till he plays some level of pro hockey then he can have the article. -Djsasso (talk) 23:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I would actually be somewhat surprised if he makes any roster outside of preseason...he's not exactly tearing it up in college. --Smashvilletalk 03:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. If he plays professionally or wins the Hobey Baker Award, the page can be re-created.  Patken4 (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The first paragraph does not argue notability per WP:ATHLETE, or even the general notability requirements, while the rest of the article is one giant if x then y statement that violates WP:CRYSTAL.  He might be a borderline case, but he's on the wrong edge of the border at this moment. Resolute 23:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 23:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Sorry, but 0 + 0 + 0 = 0. In the first instance, notability is not transferrable or inherited; in the second, junior league players are not inherently notable; and in the third, there is nothing inherently notable about being from Tennessee.    Ravenswing  03:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The only thing notable about this fellow, is he's a grandson of Bernie Geoffrion & a great-grandson of Howie Morenz. GoodDay (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As stated by Goodday there is really nothing notable about him except who his Great-father and Grandfather was. This is like making an article for every Career AHLer. Jobes23 (talk) 19:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
