Subject appears to fail WP:GNG with only WP:ROUTINE mentions as sources found (and not used here for some reason but were listed in the previous AfD discussion) This is the closest I could find to a good article on him, although it is regional coverage of the junior team he played with briefly (1 game). The previous No Consensus Keep appears to based off a confused interpretation of the 2014 SNG for WP:NHOCKEY #6, which then simply read as having played on a senior national team for the World Championship. The meaning was the same then as it is today, but the phrasing has been further clarified by noting "in the highest pool", which he has never played in. In all regards, he currently fails NHOCKEY by never playing in a high enough league. Yosemiter (talk) 22:02, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

 *  Weak delete, only because he did win the best British forward award in the 2014–15 season which may just be enough to satisfy criteria #3; in my eyes it's not enough but it is the only hockey related accomplishment that could save this article. He fails on every other front. Deadman137 (talk) 00:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails NHOCKEY, no evidence the subject meets the GNG. Likewise, I saw the "Best British Forward" bit on the eliteprospects.com site, but what is that, exactly?  Awarded by whom?  There's nothing there indicating what league or entity awarded it.   Ravenswing   14:42, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails NHOCKEY and I believe also fails GNG. FYI  the "Best British Forward" is the british elite league award for the top domestic player, presented by ice hockey UK, kind of like the CFL's "Most Oustanding Canadian" award.18abruce (talk) 23:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough ... so we're not even talking a First Team All-Star citation.   Ravenswing   01:26, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. Deadman137 (talk) 20:34, 28 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Insufficient notability. Hasn't played at a high enough level.  caknuck °  needs to be running more often  19:21, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
