PJ DeLuca

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable assistant coach. No 3rd party reliable sources showing notability, fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Deprodded with no reason given. Tassedethe (talk) 14:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * This AfD needs input from knowledgeable hockey editors. He was also a player as reflected in this link. Cbl62 (talk) 16:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: But not a professional player, not at any level, and had no particular distinction as an amateur -- this certainly fails WP:NHOCKEY going away. Honestly, I'd support an A7 speedy deletion for failure to assert notability of any kind. (I'd also support a sound trout-slapping for the deprodder, an anon IP whose sole Wikipedia activity seems to have been to deprod articles with no reasons proffered, on October 28th.)

 * Delete. My searches did not turn up the type of significant we need to satisfy WP:GNG.  With Ravenswing now weighing in that the playing career doesn't meet a special notability threshold under WP:NHOCKEY, it appears this should be deleted. Cbl62 (talk) 19:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Doesn't he pass WP:NHOCKEY as a coach in the NHL.  WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:30, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply: He has never been a head coach. NHOCKEY doesn't accord presumptive notability to the flurry of assistants and technical positions teams fill.  In any event, over at the Hockey WikiProject, we feel fairly strongly that while our guideline is useful as a subordinate notability guide, any hockey figure must still be able to meet the GNG's requirements.

 * Plus, DeLuca's "coaching" position is as a video coordinator.Was NHOCKEY's presumption of notability intended to reach such positions? Not likely. Cbl62 (talk) 15:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Nope, pretty much just head coach. -DJSasso (talk) 18:48, 12 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete He fails both WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG. Deadman137 (talk) 23:56, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
