Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Only primary sources which do not demonstrate notability. Full of redlinks. Has been tagged with WP:POV for nearly 3 years. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Keep USA hockey, periodicals in New Zealand, the hockey house regularly, frequent coverage in Australia, hockey Canada coverage, and it goes on and on. Not to mention that it is a world championship governed by a major international sports body.18abruce (talk) 22:21, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * yes tons of hockey websites have information about a hockey event... That doesn't establish notability. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:24, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Not all of the websites listed are hockey websites. And that was just a sampling of only english sites.18abruce (talk) 12:47, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * you are correct. You listed 5 websites... 4 were hockey sites and 1 was a ticket sales agency... None of which establish notability. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:24, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Does TSN count? Sorry about the ticket sales one, the substance is a copy and paste from the Taranaki news site and I picked the wrong one by accident. I was actually surprised that there was a lot more (english anyway) coverage of the FIRS championship available out there.  Henrik freaking Lundqvist played in it, it is a bigger deal in Europe.18abruce (talk) 17:58, 13 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep If there is no question about IIHF's notability and legitimacy, I don't see how their world championship will be found nonnotable. Timmyshin (talk) 07:53, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep This seems like a pretty silly nomination. There is absolutely no question to the notability of this world championship. -DJSasso (talk) 17:44, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
