Another in a string of articles on non-notable teenage hockey players who fail to meet WP:NHOCKEY, made by the creator. Except for two games of junior hockey (which isn't remotely notable), the subject's career has been in bantam youth hockey. Fails the GNG by a country mile, all sources being routine sports coverage failing under WP:ROUTINE, WP:GEOSCOPE.   Ravenswing   03:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY or GNG. -DJSasso (talk) 13:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or Redirect to WHL Bantam Draft where he is mentioned. This 15-year-old hockey phenom, who was the 1st overall pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, meets GNG. Note: The sheer volume of AfD nominations by this editor (45-plus and counting in the last four days alone) going straight to AfD, without first using PRODs or appropriate tagging, is disruptive. The nom should be reminded that deletion is a last resort, and per WP:BEFORE should only be used after other alternatives, including redirects, have been fully explored.

 * As has been pointed out to you both in guidelines and through many redirects you have had deleted. If there is a potential for someone to become notable in the future (as you are implying in your comment) then the preferred situation is to leave the link red instead of creating a redirect. And if you think he already meets GNG then proove it with sources. -DJSasso (talk) 15:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. None of the leagues are considered a top professional league according to WP:NHOCKEY/LA. Patken4 (talk) 21:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
