Matt Anthony (ice hockey)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable ice hockey player who fails to meet WP:GNG. Also fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. DJSasso (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Player who toiled in the bottom-most rung of the semi-pro leagues, and I'd have been at a complete loss as to who could have possibly thought this nonentity qualified for a Wikipedia article ... until I checked.   Ravenswing   20:55, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG, but let's be careful not to attack the page creator. Who created the article is irrelevant - all that matters is if the subject is notable. Which he's not. Smartyllama (talk) 15:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not finding any evidence of notability. I agree with not attacking the page creator, although given this particular editor's contributions, many, many of which have landed in AfD and I am sure there are many more to come, I think the frustration is understandable.

 * Comment: Let's put it this way, and it's exactly this stark: at this point, almost 50% of the player-related ice hockey AfDs filed in the history of Wikipedia (since records were kept) are on pages he created ... with more, as you say, to come. He knowingly and willfully trampled over notability standards for many years, cleaning up his messes have caused irreparable damage in terms of angst and man-hours from dozens of editors that could've been spent building the encyclopedia and improving new articles, he earned three separate community bans from page moves and new page creation and redirect restoring, and two years after his nonsense was shut down we're *still* cleaning up after him.  With respect to you both (for of course you're right), I'll blow off whatever steam it takes not to start using indef block-worthy language.   Ravenswing   20:32, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
