Tagged as an A1 speedy "Very short article providing little or no context", but I can just about work out what it means with the help of a quick Google. So it comes here instead; I suspect it just needs cleaning. Abstain. -Splash 00:36, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/Cleanup; any sports fans out there interested in cleaning this up? --Alan Au 00:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * speedy delete as nn---CH (talk) 02:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup professional hockey player. Have expanded this article. In doing so, I noted that he has so far played only five NHL games playing mostly in the minor leagues. Is this sufficient to establish notability as an ice hockey player? Capitalistroadster 05:32, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/Cleanup as per Alan Au. If not cleaned during vfd Delete  Dlyons493 05:42, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, NHL player. User:Zoe|(talk) 06:17, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep following yet another 'salvage op' by the Capster. Alf melmac 11:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Cleaned up. Andrew pmk | Talk 22:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Despite CR's improvement, I'm voting delete since I don't think a minor-leaguer who got a couple of tastes of the NHL (playing in a total of five games, and both times failing to stick in the majors) is even close to meeting the relevant part of WP:BIO: "Athletes who are widely known, widely acclaimed, or highly successful in their sport."

 * Delete He only played in 5 NHL Games. We cant have Every player who ever played a professional game an article unless some else more notable happened. --Aranda56 01:56, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Barno and Aranda56. -- Kjkolb 08:06, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 22-year old prospect. He's not a career minor-leaguer, as last seasons labor dispute forced him into the AHL. Expect him to make the Capitals opening lineup this year. And yes, we can have every professional player- there's exceptionally fewer of them then there are, say, schools.--Scimitar parley 15:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as per Scimitar. Hall Monitor 16:21, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, of course -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:46, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep anyone who's played in a major sports league. JYolkowski // talk 15:19, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as far as I know we keep anyone who has played in the NHL most hockey players who get drafted never get to the NHL never get to see any ice time. If we applied User:Aranda56 logic we might as well delete all Members of Parliament who did not become Ministers. By the way please see List of every NHL player --Cloveious 04:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
