Non-notable hockey player, fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence he passes the GNG. Played most of his career in the low minors.   Ravenswing   19:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep or Redirect to 2011–12 CHL season. A current ice hockey player who, as a six year pro, likely passes GNG. He won the French League Cup as a member of the Grenoble team, and was named the MVP of the 2011–12 CHL playoffs. Note: The sheer volume of AfD nominations by this editor (37-plus in the last three days alone) makes it impossible to fully research all of the articles to prove they meet GNG. Expecting any editor to properly research this large number of articles for GNG sources is not realistic or fair, especially when one considers that many of these AfDs require searching non-English sources. Going straight to AfD with this many nominations, without first using PRODs or appropriate tagging, is disruptive. The nom should be reminded that deletion is a last resort, and per WP:BEFORE should only be used after other alternatives have been fully explored. Dolovis (talk) 05:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: None of those things meet NHOCKEY's criteria, and if you believe that the subject passes the GNG, kindly proffer sources that qualify. That being said, as many as a hundred articles go to AfD every day, and no one expects any editor to research all of them on the spot; happily, since these are Wikipedia's articles, and do not "belong" to any one editor, there's no onus on any one person to do so.  What is seriously disruptive is creating so many BLP articles without even a cursory attempt at proper sourcing.  Perhaps, rather than creating yet more NN sub-stubs, you could turn your attention to that.   Ravenswing   06:31, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. None of the leagues are considered a top professional league according to WP:NHOCKEY/LA. Patken4 (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete One of a long string of non-notable individual that upon a search turned up no reliable sources to pass GNG. Also fails NSPORTS. -DJSasso (talk) 19:12, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither Highbeam nor Google news archive search bring up any evidence this player meets GNG. Dolovis' attempt at wikilawyering in place of offering a keep rationale is amusing, and pointless. Complaining about the inability to research 37 articles for GNG passes over the cumulative ten day period from the first AFD to the most recent is amusing given he has at times created a considerably greater number of pages in a similar span, obviously without researching them prior to creation.
