Thomas Larkin (ice hockey)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

PROD contested (lmao at wikipedia's bureaucracy sometimes...), subject does not meet notability criteria per WP:ATHLETE or WP:HOCKEY/PPF. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 23:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I'm reluctant to call for the deletion of the article. I would say he has some notability being the first Italian drafted, but really, that is not notable enough. He can wait until he (possibly) reaches the NHL, or does something else notable. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see that he should be treated any differently than anyone else who has been drafted by, but has not played for, a major professional sports team.  Mandsford (talk) 13:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to meet WP:N or WP:ATHLETE. The article claims he was the first italian trained player, and trained is subjective since he is playing in North America and he is from Britain not Italy... -Djsasso (talk) 16:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per prior precedent: Examples include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and at least 25 other AfDs for similar players. When/If this player wins a major award or plays in a fully professional league, then this article can be recreated, until then, he is not notable per WP:HOCKEY/PPF. -Pparazorback (talk) 22:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: Standard post-Draft article creation frenzy always results in a lot of non-notable bio pages. This is one of them. – Nurmsook!  talk...  04:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: per statements above. fails to meet WP:HOCKEY/PPF as well as general notability guidelines. --Bhockey10 (talk) 00:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails to meet WP:ATHLETE, WP:HOCKEY/PPF and precedent. --Smashvilletalk 13:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
