 * Keep Mr. Thompson passes WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG despite the poorly written article. A quick glance at his coaching profile on eliteprospects.com will show this. Mr. Thompson has achieved preeminent honours in the EIHL, being top ten in coaching, and receiving multiple Coach of the Year awards. (meets NHOCKEY #3). He also passes GNG by the same measures.

 * Note I have rewritten the article and added references for the main claims to GNG. There's a lot more which could be added. Flibirigit (talk) 01:41, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - being named "EIHL Coach of the Year" in 2004 and 2010 appears to satisfy WP:NHOCKEY criterion #3. Madg2011 (talk) 16:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NHOCKEY is met, although I'm not sure about WP:GNG. The articles listed seem to be more of a routine sports coverage variety (given that he's a coach). I'll admit I didn't do my own search for GNG sources since NHOCKEY was met. Papaursa (talk) 02:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:NHOCKEY #3 as Coach of the Year. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, and redirect to Paul Thompson (ice hockey, born 1968), now that was proposed for deletion by SP17. AaronWikia (talk) 22:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - satisfies WP:NHOCKEY and WP:NPERSON though its borderline with GNG. L293D (☎ • ✎) 13:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
