List of NHL players who have scored 8 points in one game
Trivial and NN listcruft, fails WP:NOT. Eight points in a game is not the NHL record (ten is), nor -- as with a hat trick -- is there any general sense in hockey circles of the same being a recognizable milestone as such. The article's facts are accurate and is well-written on its face, and I hope the editor turns his talents to the numerous hockey articles needing creation, but this isn't one.

 * Delete Is it interesting? -- Yes. Although, it is not worthy of its own article.  DMighton 06:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete! This is the most trivial item I have ever seen listed in Wikipedia. Travislangley 21:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Reluctant delete It's a cool list, more interesting than many, seems to be well-researched, not the most trivial I've seen... I like it but I can't find any actual grounds on which to keep it. GassyGuy 21:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete I've noticed many articles that are very similar to the one I just made, in fact, that's what inspired me to do so. For Hockey articles, I would have to think that this article is better than National Hockey League goalies who have scored in a game. Also, I've seen a ton of baseball articles like this one, for example:
 * List of Obscure Baseball Records
 * Batters with two grand slams in the same baseball game
 * List of pitchers who have struck out 18 or more batters in a nine-inning baseball game
 * List of rare baseball events
 * There's a whole lot more, just check out Category:Baseball records and you can find lots of them. And I never said that 8 points is a record in the article, I simply said it is one of the greatest single-game accomplishments in the NHL. So please don't delete my article because though it may be small, I put a lot of hard work and research into it. HockeyHead 02:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment - Well ... as to research, it's simply copying off the second place listings in any NHL Official Guide. That aside, if you see other articles with trivial content, feel free to AfD them yourself!  RGTraynor 07:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Also reluctant delete per above. It might be something worth including in the NHL records article under a heading like "Most points, one game," though that article is currently a listing of career records, rather than game/season ones. Doogie2K (talk) 17:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Its nice but you got to draw the line somewhere. What's stopping me from creating articles like Most assists by Left wingers while shorthanded. Like Doogie2k said, a single game record section in an overall NHL records article might be a better solution. That section should only list the actual record instead of a top 10 list. ccwaters 22:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The actual record, of course, being Darryl Sittler's 10 points against the Bruins back in 1976.  (And I had to be watching that game too!) RGTraynor 02:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * comment There are tonnes of useless lists on wikipedia. I would like to see all the lists of people that belong to certain religous groups (such as Lists of Jews, Lists of Roman Catholics and the like) all turned into categories and i would like to see lists of people from countries (such as List of Canadians, Lists of Americans, and the like) turned into cats as well. I mean, what value do those lists have when a category will do the same or better job? The list here in question does not stand alone very well (in my opinion) but could be turned into a category. The information contained in the list is worthy of note. I suggest merging this info into another article and/or turning it into a category. Masterhatch 02:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Move and expand. I like Doogie2K's idea of moving it to National Hockey League records.  Certantly there are more somewhat obscure, but interesting records out there that could be combined into a catch-all article. Resolute 18:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
