Subject overwhelmingly fails WP:NHOCKEY as a player, with only 15 AHL games, 14 DEL games and no preeminent honours. He has however spent five seasons as an assistant coach in the DEL and is currently head coach for an EBEL team, plus the article has eleven references. If these establish notability, I will withdraw the nomination. Tay87 (talk) 00:22, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable hockey player.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:51, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Largely because of his coaching, there is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and so I think it meets the terms of the GNG which override those of the NHOCKEY guideline. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:10, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If that be the case I certainly have no problem withdrawing the nomination or let somebody else do it on my behalf. Tay87 (talk) 14:46, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Not notable as a hockey player and just got his first head coaching job. It's in the Austrian Hockey League which doesn't provide any notability for a player so I don't know why it would for a coach.  Coverage seems to be routine sports reporting of his career with many of the sources not being independent, so I don't believe WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 20:22, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
