A few passing mentions as a goalie for a minor league goalie in regional newspapers. Does not have WP:SIGCOV or meet WP:GNG Hughesdarren (talk) 02:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Ice hockey,  and Canada. Shellwood (talk) 07:42, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The OCAA is not a level of athletic play that guarantees inclusion under our notability criteria for sportspeople, but he can't be claimed to pass WP:GNG either as this is referenced to a mix of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and community hyperlocals glancingly namechecking his existence in articles that aren't substantively about him. Absolutely nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced a lot better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No level of athletic play guarantees inclusion under our notability criteria for sportspeople. Alvaldi (talk) 17:24, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Alvaldi (talk) 17:24, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 20-Mule Team Delete: This is such a painfully obscure subject that should the article creator pop up, I'd like him to address whether there's a COI involved ... the more so in that the subject purportedly works in sports marketing. All the sources involve routine sports reporting from an obscure and little-noticed level of hockey (Junior C), and the subject doesn't meet the GNG generally.

 * Delete - I'm finding nothing but the occasional insignificant namecheck in local papers. I'd say speedy if it wasn't already 6 days old! Nfitz (talk) 00:21, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Proposal to move to draftspace: Thank you for bringing to attention that the article doesn't meet notability criteria as it currently stands! If there's general consensus, I'd like to move it to a draftspace so that the article can be improved upon until it does, rather than swift deletion. Also to address the concern, there is no COI involved on my end. Tb123 (talk) 09:44, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd object to draftifying; that implies that there's anything remotely about the subject which might prove notable down the line. That might be conceivable for a sports figure who might gain significant coverage down the road, but to put it bluntly, a goalie whose hockey career was ten brief (and terrible) games in Junior C five years ago has as much chance of achieving athletic notability as I do, and I haven't had a goalie stick in my hands for thirty years now.

 * I concur with User:Ravenswing. Nfitz (talk) 17:37, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
