Minor league hockey player who has not yet established himself to meet notability requirements per WP:NHOCKEY. Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. PROD was removed with the comment “... on a senior national team it satisfies notability...”, however this athlete played for junior national team, not a senior team.

 * Delete Fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. He did not play on a senior team he played on the U-18 junior team and not the senior team so the prod remover was incorrect in his assessment. -DJSasso (talk) 16:30, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Around this time next year (perhaps) he'll satisfy NHOCKEY. He doesn't yet.   Ravenswing  17:26, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Full disclosure that I am the articles creator. Looking through a biography by his college, in his freshman season he was named to the NCAA West Regional All-Tournament Team. Weatherman05071 (talk) 20:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Which still doesn't meet NHOCKEY. No college honors short of being named an All-American, leading the NCAA in scoring or winning the Hobey Baker do.   Ravenswing  20:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I am sorry to cause a problem then, being new to this I am still learning what is acceptable and what is not. Weatherman05071 (talk) 20:38, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, we were all new once. Basically when creating an article just find some sources that talk about the person in depth. In other words not just a game summery. If you can find a few of those then usually the player warrants an article. The NHockey guideline is just a guideline that helps you know when you are likely to find such articles. So you can cut the middle man out if you go find those articles first when you create the page on a player. -DJSasso (talk) 20:46, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That aside, it's a well-written article. Once you've got a decent footing in our policies and guidelines, you'll be all set.   Ravenswing  21:53, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
