Non-notable hockey player, fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence he passes the GNG. One of a long string of NN stubs thrown up by article creator.   Ravenswing   11:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep or Redirect to 2010–11 South Carolina Stingrays season. Note: The sheer volume of AfD nominations by this editor (37-plus in the last three days alone) makes it impossible to fully research all of the articles to prove they meet GNG. Expecting any editor to properly research this large number of articles for GNG sources is not realistic or fair. The nom should be reminded that deletion is a last resort, and per WP:BEFORE should only be used after other alternatives have been fully explored. Dolovis (talk) 03:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: As many as a hundred articles go to AfD every day, and no one expects any editor to research all of them on the spot; happily, since these are Wikipedia's articles, and do not "belong" to any one editor, there's no onus on any one person to do so. What is seriously disruptive is creating so many BLP articles without even a cursory attempt at proper sourcing.  Perhaps, rather than creating yet more NN sub-stubs, you could turn your attention to that.   Would you like, by the bye, to proffer a reason to Keep?     Ravenswing   06:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. None of the leagues are considered a top professional league according to WP:NHOCKEY/LA. Patken4 (talk) 21:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NHOCKEY and has not received enough significant coverage to pass GNG. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 06:27, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - nn player. No sign of a GNG pass.  Hell, Highbeam doesn't even show much in the way of trivial mentions in routine game coverage. Resolute 18:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete What Resolute said. -DJSasso (talk) 19:18, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Much as I would love to keep a former Stingray, he didn't even hit 100 games in the ECHL, which was his highest level of professional play (in fact, he never played a full season with an ECHL team). Combined with the lack of current coverage and the fact that he hasn't played since 2011 (and is therefore unlikely to generate future coverage), I can't see him passing GNG.
