Travis Boyd (ice hockey)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG Joeykai (talk) 09:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep- Even though he currently fails NHOCKEY currently, he is having a very good year at Hershey, and frankly could get a call any day...I'd guess his WSH debut this year at +50%. It's a poorly written, prematurely posted article, but it looks like it was written in good faith, and can be upgraded.  I'd like to keep this proposed delete on ice until the end of the NHL season.

 * Delete - Was called up on February 21st but failed to play in a game. Very likely to pass the 200 AHL games mark next season, or get play an NHL game, but easy to reinstate article when (or if) it happens.  There is some news about his call up to the Capitals, if there is enough to pass GNG I would happily change my vote.18abruce (talk) 23:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Was thinking "too soon," albeit barely, and though I am sympathetic to the notion that an in-season call-up to the NHL will make a player of more interest even if he fails to get into a game. But he has significant coverage in the Washington Times at least here and in the Washington Post at least here, here and here.  His call up got some more minor coverage at least here.  And I found a fairly significant article here, less significant  coverage of his All-Star game selection here and here and another minor article here.  So I think he has plenty of coverage to meet WP:GNG. Rlendog (talk) 14:20, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep the coverage Rlendog provided is enough to meet WP:GNG, even if he currently is a technical fail or WP:NHOCKEY. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Rlendog's sources & research. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:50, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
