Dale Mitchell (ice hockey)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable other then playing in the OHL/AHL which is not notable, if WP:HOCKEY maintains Requested articles/Sports. There some news sources such as this where he had a bunch of EKGs done on him. But then so did a bunch of other people. Pie is good  (Apple is the best)  02:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete for Now per WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't competed in professional hockey. If he does get called up to play in the NHL, his article can be restored/recreated, but right now this is a crystal ball. Tavix (talk) 02:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment He has competed in professional hockey. The American Hockey League is a fully professional league. -Djsasso (talk) 20:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Player meets WP:ATHLETE in that he played in a fully professional league. The American Hockey League. -Djsasso (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:ATHLETE by playing in the professional American Hockey League (ask their union http://www.phpa.com ). ccwaters (talk) 20:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: WP:HOCKEY hasn't heretofore dealt with that outdated standard which blows great holes through WP:ATHLETE, never mind the many elite level European leagues, professional leagues of long standing and ice hockey's own history, in which the NHL has not always been dominant or even extant. I've just removed that language.    Ravenswing  20:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think I even knew that that writting was there before this, that definately doesn't apply to WP:HOCKEY's way of thinking regarding notability. -Djsasso (talk) 22:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep since the AHL is a fully professional league, despite the apparent misconception that it is not. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 20:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:Athlete takes precedence over WP:Hockey.  The AHL is a fully professionaly league.  Patken4 (talk) 22:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep If he has signed with Toronto then the article should stay. Raphie (talk) 01:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per above. - - [ The Spooky One ] | [ t c r ] 00:29, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
