Non-notable junior hockey player who has not yet established himself to meet notability requirements per WP:NHOCKEY.Deproded with given reason that he “played on the algerian national team”, however I am not able to verify that he has played on a senior national team (such as at the Olympic Games or World Championship) as required to meet the criteria of NHOCKEY.

 * Keep The reference currently on the page is the National Team's website, if you click on Men's team on the menu it lists the roster. National team roster. -DJSasso (talk) 14:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Alegerian national team has only played a handful of exhibition games and has never competed in an IIHF tournament. In any event, the reference given by DJSasso above is not an independent source, and does nothing to verify that this teenage player has played on a senior national team.

 * And? The requirement does not mention that the team has to have played in the IIHF, just has to be a senior national team. The Algerian team is new so of course it hasn't played alot of games. The reference above does verifiy that he is on the national team. Does it go to GNG, no it doesn't. But it certainly does verify he is on the team. As for this teenager playing on a senior team, Algeria doesn't have a junior team, so he clearly plays on the senior team. -DJSasso (talk) 14:49, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete He has yet to play a game for the Algerian national team, thus does not pass WP:NHOCKEY. The link above clearly mentions: "Below is the Mens Squad from which the roster will be chosen for the next upcoming game."  The only international fixtures Algeria has played (and none in the World Championships/Olympics), according to nationalteamsoficehockey.com were at the 2008 Arab Cup.  He was not named to this team, and thus could not have played. (Issue of playing on national team v. playing on national in the world championships/olympics probably needs discussing, but at this point is moot as he has not played on the national team.)

 * Delete: The pertinent criterion is clear: it isn't that someone is a member of a national team roster, but that he has played on a national team roster. Without evidence that he has done so, the article can't be sustained.   Ravenswing  15:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete if this Algerian team was a member of the IIHF, I would say keep, but they are not . ccwaters (talk) 16:04, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
