Kent Simpson
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page somehow survived AfD once and I'm not entirely sure how. This player fails WP:N and WP:ATHLETE. He's a 16 year old junior league player in Canada. He has not played at the highest level of hockey in Canada (which would be the NHL), he is a junior league rookie. He has not played in the highest amateur level of his sport - that would be the Canadian national team/international competition. Most of the articles we run across that we have to delete are junior league players who were drafted in the third or fourth round and have not played in the NHL. From what I gather in this article, this kid is a rookie in juniors. All of the rationale from the last AfD is faulty. Smashvilletalk 16:50, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Article fails WP:N, WP:ATHLETE, and WP:HOCKEY/PPF#NOTE. The last AfD seemed to have misinformed comments that formed the backbone of the keep movement and had a strong sense of crystal ball to it. – Nurmsook!  talk...  16:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Major juniors is still junior hockey. No call-up to Team Canada, still years away from the pro draft...this article is a few years premature, assuming he'll make it far enough to warrant one later. —C.Fred (talk) 16:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Article fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:HOCKEY/PPF. Article can be recreated if he ever plays professionally or otherwise achieves notability. Very strong precedence that players at this level at not prima-facia notable. Some examples of deleted articles since July include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I am surprised the hockey project didn't pick up on this debate the first time around. Most of the keeps in that debate seem uninformed. -Djsasso (talk) 17:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete it has been very well established that simply playing Major Junior hockey is not enough to pass either Wikipedia's guidelines or WP:HOCKEY's own. Recreate if this individual wins a major award, is a first round draft pick or plays pro. Resolute 17:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, fails hockey notability guidelines. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:31, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I understand the ideas argued in the previous AFD, but they're insufficient. Nyttend (talk) 17:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: per WP:ATHLETE. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Resolute brought up the reasons I usually bring up.  Patken4 (talk) 00:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * NOTICE - The article has been recreated, as such, I've unarchvied for a second deletion. ThuranX (talk) 14:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The article has NOT been recreated. I simply moved Kent Simpson (ice hockey, b. 1975) to Kent Simpson, seing as how after the non-notable Simpson was deleted, we were left with only one Kent Simpson article on Wikipedia. If this is an issue, just let me know. – Nurmsook!  talk...  16:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Nurmsook is correct, I did not read it thoroughly enough. Looks good as stands. ThuranX (talk) 02:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
