Dennis Canfield
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Eight years ago, back when the first AfD on this thoroughly NN hockey player was promulgated, it went to "no consensus" based on the then-prevalent interpretation of WP:ATHLETE as giving a free pass to anyone who'd ever played any sport at any professional level whatsoever ... which taken to its (il)logical limits would give a free pass to 16-year-old amateurs receiving a $50/week stipend to play Canadian junior league hockey. That, or to the subject of this AfD, whose hockey career consisted of six games in the low minors as an emergency backup goalie. Happily, notability standards have come to their senses, and so short of a hoax article, I can safely say that few articles at AfD will ever fail NHOCKEY so profoundly as this one. Likewise, no evidence that the subject meets the GNG.   Ravenswing   19:51, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - playing career fails WP:NHOCKEY (only played minor league in 4 years out of 7, getting "called up" to minor league ECHL is not notable), and then he coached a junior league team that only existed for 3 years. There is no support for notability under current guidelines at all. Shelbystripes (talk) 16:51, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
