Bryan Pitton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to fail WP:GNG per only WP:ROUTINE sources. Drastically fails minimum standards of WP:NHOCKEY by way of low level leagues. Yosemiter (talk) 23:15, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete yet another article on a non-notable hockey player born in 1988.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment More of a question of interpretation of NHOCKEY.... This goalie dressed as a backup for the Edmonton Oilers during the 09/10 season, but in the NHL that does not give you credit for playing in a game. In international play it does, does this matter?18abruce (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's a fair question and one I considered before nominating. I think that he would need to meet GNG first in this regard. I searched for articles in regards to "Bryan Pitton", "Bryan Pitton Stockton Thunder", and "Bryan Pitton Oilers" (and variations of the event in question). None of the articles I found were more than mere mentions or routine coverage regarding the event, so it seems that appearing as a backup does not generate significant coverage. (At least in this case. There are several emergency backup call-ups that do generate coverage, but it usually due to oddity of person called up, a goalie coach, equipment manager, local semi-pro, etc.) Yosemiter (talk) 21:16, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Well said Yosemiter. Additionally I would say that the article has tried to falsely boost his standing by making claims of notoriety (" first-ever player in Thunder history to earn a direct recall to the NHL") citing a source that has basic information wrong, and does not back up the claim.18abruce (talk) 10:38, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
