The result was   keep. An athlete does not need to meet a sports-specific guideline if he can simply meet GNG. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Dalton Thrower

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable junior hockey player who fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. Can be recreated when/if he meets NHOCKEY or otherwise achieves notability. DJSasso (talk) 13:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Play's in major competition Seasider91 (talk) 15:45, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * What major competition that meets WP:NHOCKEY would that be? He hasn't played a game in the NHL. Hasn't played 100 games in a minor professional league. He is a junior player who doesn't yet meet the notability requirements. -DJSasso (talk) 15:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails NHOCKEY. Appears that article was created in anticipation of his being a first round selection in the 2012 draft, but that never happened. Resolute 16:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: One of two hockey-related deleted prods very quietly recreated, and I can't imagine why; what notability criteria, the GNG included, did the admin in question fancy this subject meets?   Ravenswing   19:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Prods are recreated immediately upon being contested unless there is a copyvio or blp vio so that isn't such a big deal. However, it would have been nice of the restorer to have let the person who did the prod know it was restored but it isn't required. -DJSasso (talk) 19:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails NHOCKEY. Can be re-created if he does.  Patken4 (talk) 20:01, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Perhaps because he was expected by some at least to be a 1st round pick, he has racked up significant coverage, enough in my opinion to meet WP:GNG, e.g., The Hockey News, NHL.com, Vancouver Sun (and others), Squamish Chief (ok, that's pretty local so doesn't count for a lot), Yahoo!, Canoe, a more minor item from Hockey News. Some of this coverage is from the draft, but more than many draftees get, while much of the coverage precedes the draft. Rlendog (talk) 21:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep – This person passes WP:BASIC and WP:GNG per:, , . As such, this person warrants a stand-alone article on Wikipedia. Northamerica1000(talk) 23:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep – Ample of reliable sources are available, covering the subject. Easily passes WP:GNG. undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   14:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The article can always be recreated if and when he makes it to the NHL, but merely being eligible for the NHL draft while playing at the major junior level is not a sufficient claim of notability to warrant a Wikipedia article. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 14:13, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone is suggesting keeping just because he was eligible for the NHL draft. The reasons for keeping have been based on having significant coverage in independent sources - more than a run-of-the-mill draft eligible player - and thus meeting WP:GNG.
