NHL trade deadline

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary list of "major" trades made in the NHL. This information is already covered in each NHL season's transactions page (ex. 2014–15 NHL transactions). This page should be deleted, or alternatively redirected to Trade_(sports) which has a general description of the NHL's trade deadline. Natg 19 (talk) 23:41, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Trade (sports). What constitutes a "major" trade is completely subjective, and therefore, it's better that we just have articles for each individual season that list all of the transactions for that season, which we do have. So if we take all of that information out of the NHL trade deadline article, we're left with barely any content, and nothing that can't be summarized in the article that I'm voting to redirect this one to. --A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 00:54, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Trade (sports). The list is redundant to each season's transaction page and the rest is redundant to Trade (sports), so there's no need for this. However, this is a plausible search term and we should take readers somewhere that has the information they're looking for. -- Tavix ( talk ) 20:50, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect per everybody. Each season's notable trades are listed in that season's own season-specific article, so there's no real need for a complete and comprehensive multiyear-spanning list of every player who ever got traded at all. Bearcat (talk) 16:37, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect while this article served a purpose when it was created, it's usefulness has greatly waned in the years that followed. Currently there are 32 articles every year that track NHL team transactions, we really don't need another article to collect this information. Deadman137 (talk) 05:00, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
