Kent Kean

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Removed Prod. Non-notable junior player and likely WP:HOAX as there is no player with this name in any of the usual reference sites and the only sites that seem to have anything to do with a Kent Kean and hockey are fantasy hockey leagues. Either way he doesn't meet notability requirements and can be recreated when and if he plays professionally so he meets WP:ATHLETE. Djsasso (talk) 04:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 20-Mule-Team Delete: Hoax article. It claims that Kean was drafted 145th in the 2002 OHL draft by the Barrie Colts, when in fact Ken Blain was drafted by Saginaw with that pick. .  This ASHL in which the article claims he plays is a no-check senior beer league; the article link is broken.  No one by that name played for MSU in 2003  or in any other season.  Nom is a SPA for whom this article represents the sole Wikipedia activity.  Man, that was much more research than this hoax warranted.    RGTraynor  06:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete per WP:SNOW as an obvious hoax. The OHL draft is for midget players (age 15-17), thus in 2002, Mr. Kean would not have been eligible for it as a 19 year old, he would simply have been a free agent.  There is a chance he would not even have been eligible to play in the OHL in the season he claims, as he would have been an over age player.  The SPA that created this can't even get basic facts right.  The 03-04 Colts won only 31 games, not 45 as is claimed.  Just delete this nonsense. Resolute 14:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Never mind that, as Djsasso cites, even if this article wasn't a hoax it would still fail WP:ATHLETE.   RGTraynor  14:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I can't find a record of a Kent Kean who played for Michigan State in the 2002-03 season nor a Kent Kean who played for the Barrie Colts in the 2003-04 season.  I suppose I could add the Ryan Miller didn't play for the Spartans in 2003-03 either so they couldn't have been teammates, but I would admit that I put way too much research into this.

 * I suppose it speaks well that we wanted to get it right, huh? (smiles weakly)    RGTraynor  12:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete For a hoax article, there sure was a lot of effort. But unfortunately, misplaced effort. Delete per WP:HOAX and while were at it, for failing WP:ATHLETE. – Nurmsook!  talk...  20:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
