Don Stone (ice hockey)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Player does not meet notability requirements of WP:HOCKEY in that he has played less than a full season in a fully professional league and the majority of his experience was in semi-pro leagues. Djsasso 18:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * KEEP those are all pro leagues and RHI would probably the highest level of pro roller hockey (right?). passes WP:BIO ccwaters 19:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment You are correct, I did not think of the RHI when I put this player up, but there is much debate about how far fully professional stretches. Alot of these leagues are not fully pro. The link above shows the hockey projects stance on it. In that they have to play 5 years or 100 games in a high level minor league like the AHL or ECHL. Or have won pre-eminent honours in a low level league like this player has played in. --Djsasso 19:15, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Djsasso: I was there when those informal guidelines were constructed: and they were meant to be an agreement on the creation of new articles, not a license to clean out already existing articles (its in the wp:hockey archives somewhere). Its not meant to supersede WP:BIO. ccwaters 19:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You are correct. I am not advocating going through and deleting every possible player that fails them. I only put up 3 who I saw that are so far down in the minor leagues that it is really rediculous that they have articles. That being said they are currently I believe being used in a proposal (along with other sports) to revamp WP:Notability (people)--Djsasso 19:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep He has played five years of hockey at a professional level, so that part is easily verifiable.  Also, with RHI, he has played at the highest competitive level of roller hockey.  -- JamesTeterenko 19:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn Nomination due to forgetting that he played in the highest level of roller hockey. --Djsasso 19:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
