Stanley Sampson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY as a player, and also fails to meet WP:GNG as a person. I found only one obituary on Legacy.com for Sampson from 2011, which was reprinted on several news sites. This is not enough to pass for general notability. Routine mentions box scores found on newspapers.com and newspaperarchives.com are not enough to pass GNG. Signing a contract with an NHL team and playing only minor league hockey does not satisfy NHOCKEY. Flibirigit (talk) 19:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not pass NHOCKEY or GNG. First, the cited work "Total Hockey" does not have an entry for him at all, that entry appears to be fiction. If, as the article claims, he was signed as a minor league player, that book would not have him in their records unless he actually played.  Additionally, it would also appear to be fiction that he played his junior hockey with the Brandon Wheat Kings as they did not exist when he would have been junior age. The obit claims that he played in the NHL, which unfortunately no database confirms.18abruce (talk) 22:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Internet Hockey Database has him only playing in the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League, which would not meet NHOCKEY. Rlendog (talk) 21:26, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
