The result was   delete. There seems to be an agreement that the subject of this article does not pass the GNG. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and I didn't place any weight in arguments based off of the idea that he might be a great NHL player in the future.

Brendan Perlini

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable junior league hockey player, fails the GNG (no sources which don't violate WP:ROUTINE or WP:GEOSCOPE) and the WP:NHOCKEY criteria. The article can always be recreated should the player, down the road, do any of the things which denote notability.   Ravenswing   00:31, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. This exceptional NHL prospect meets WP:GNG as demonstrated by the sources in the article and found with GNews and other search engines. Dolovis (talk) 03:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply: That would be the "fails WP:ROUTINE" part; as you well know, routine sports coverage is debarred by WP:ROUTINE. The top hits for Perlini turn up various YouTube pages, hockey fansites, league websites, blogs and the like, but those don't satisfy the GNG.  This teenager's putative promise as a NHL prospect runs afoul of WP:CRYSTAL, of course -- sports fans can think of many a 17-year-old with glittering futures that never materialized.

 * Neutral. No comment on this one, as I suspect that if Dolovis actually put some kind of effort into it, he might be able to find sources on this one. That he relies instead on peacock terms is a little troubling. Resolute 01:43, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing to suggest this player passes GNG upon doing a search for sources. -DJSasso (talk) 04:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Fails NHOCKEY today, though it looks like there could be some articles about him out there, , .  Patken4 (talk) 04:09, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 02:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Also found these additional significant and independent sources   which should put the issue of him meeting GNG to rest. Dolovis (talk) 23:09, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
