NN hockey player, not only no evidence he meets the GNG, but almost sourceless-BLP article. Fails tighter standards for NHOCKEY than existed in the past.   Ravenswing   07:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Has had a varied and notable career. Over 5,900+ Goole results. He meets criteria #3 having played for the ECHL. Me-123567-Me (talk) 15:43, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Upon what basis do you claim he's had a "varied and notable career?" Look at the top G-hits (Yosemiter correctly looked for news hits instead), and you get various stat pages, YouTube fight videos, the subject's Facebook page, his Linkedin page, his Twitter page, his Instagram page ... in short, the sort of Google display that has us rolling our eyes at AfD at wannabe actors, garage bands and the like. What is lacking is the "significant coverage" the GNG requires.   Ravenswing   19:37, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. That comma is in the wrong place, he gets 5,900 mentions and even lower if looking for the hockey player. These are mostly of the WP:ROUTINE game coverage, stats pages, fights, and transactions variety. He gets a few sentences from a local paper about getting hired as an assistant coach (also routine). He gets four mentions in News and Newspapers, but none with significant depth as required by GNG. Yosemiter (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You're correct. I have fixed the comma. My apologies. Me-123567-Me (talk) 18:43, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. Played most of his career in the ECHL, but doesn't appear to have "Achieved preeminent honors (all-time top ten career scorer or First Team All-Star)" as the standard requires.   PK  T (alk)  16:58, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to meet WP:GNG and fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. Playing in the ECHL doesn't meet NHOCKEY #3, being a top-ten all time career scorer or First Team All-Star does. -DJSasso (talk) 17:46, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete – Fails the notability standards for ice hockey players, with criterion 3 requiring 'preeniment honours', which he hasn't got. Even if he did pass that guideline I'd still !vote delete due to there being one news article I could find even mentioning him, let alone having significant coverage. Practically all the first-page results doing a normal google search are hockey databases, fact profiles, and social media pages, with the two exceptions being the Wikipedia page and a Wikia page, which are all easily unreliable (see here). Pretty easy to decide on this one.  J 947(c) (m) 01:58, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
