 * – ( View AfD View log )

Ice hockey player who never made it to the NHL. His only claim to fame is actually that he was arrested for cross-checking an opponent in the head. The incident received a bit of coverage but imo not enough to really pass the general notability bar as the coverage was not really sustained. Pichpich (talk) 23:56, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nomination. And we should not be reporting mere arrests or charges, but rather adjudications of guilt. There was no such adjudication here; the charges were dropped.  Kablammo (talk) 13:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Player was a professional player in both the AHL and the now defunct IHL, which are/were professional hockey leagues in North America. A corollary here then is a more substantial review of other former player articles should be performed. In regards to the reporting of the arrest, it is correct no such adjudication was done, as the author i would welcome appropriate direction to better clarify this.  However the incident is well known within hockey communities as one of the seminal incidents promoting the change of the professional game in style of play (I know this through anecdotal discussions).  The reference to the Youtube video is one of the few instances that allow the incident to be reviewed and discussed.  Liquid0nyx11 (talk) 19:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NHOCKEY, the minimum to presume notability for the AHL and IHL is 200 total games, and this player had 150 regular season and playoff games combined in those two leagues. This number was made via consensus for exactly what you asking: a substantial review of players in those leagues and the type of WP:GNG-worthy coverage they received. So for players less than that, then they just need to have the coverage sources to meet WP:GNG, which is certainly not impossible. It once was "in a fully pro league" and that led to a bunch of sub-stubs. And then it was 100, and many players still did not meet WP:GNG, especially defensemen such as the player in question on this AfD. Take a look at User talk:Dolovis and that page's archives for why this happened. Yosemiter (talk) 18:00, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Player fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY and I did not find enough information to satisfy WP:GNG beyond this one event mentioned above. Flibirigit (talk) 22:12, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
