Fails WP:GNG per WP:ROUTINE sources. Fails WP:NHOCKEY by not playing in a high enough league (All-Star in the Southern Professional Hockey League has no inherent notability). Yosemiter (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Another in the many hundreds of NN articles which fail both NHOCKEY and the GNG by Dolovis, in defiance of the criteria, and for which he was ultimately community banned from article creation.   Ravenswing   20:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete- Falls (a mile) short of meeting NHOCKEY and not finding sources to meet GNG. There is apparently a 15 year old hockey player with the same name who gets more coverage. Rlendog (talk) 20:31, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * To Ravenswing's point, I wonder if there is some way we can streamline deletion discussions of Dolovis-created hockey articles. Probably not, but it may be worth thinking about. Rlendog (talk) 20:38, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If there is, let me know. I came across all of these when redirecting some of the IceGators links. I have found almost every SPHL-related player on the SPHL season pages are linked, created by Dolovis, and fail GNG/NHOCKEY. I just haven't gotten around to nominating them all yet.

 * If it wasn't bitey, I'd write WP:DOLOVISCREATEDIT as a deletion essay. Part of the problem, granted, is that Dolovis wasn't always wrong.  Some of his creations were notable, and some did meet NHOCKEY at the time.   Ravenswing   20:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Yup the problem was, at the time alot of these were created they did meet NHOCKEY. It's just that the community then went and made NHOCKEY more stringent to avoid his creations. -DJSasso (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
