The published feature stories (non-routine coverage) about this player pushes this article over the GNG threshold required for a stand-alone article. Dolovis (talk) 00:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - He passes WP:GNG as demonstrated by the significant coverage he has received in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, including:
 * Pittsburgh Post-Gazette feature article
 * Dan Swallow's feature article
 * A Q&A on a blog is not even remotely a reliable source. -DJSasso (talk) 17:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: I agree that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette source is significant and reliable, so this article does pass GNG. Oonissie (talk) 18:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette source is significant and reliable, but it takes more than significant coverage in one reliable source to meet GNG. Rlendog (talk) 21:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Here is yet another significant and reliable feature on Vincent Trocheck. Dolovis (talk) 03:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - The NHL article is routine, they've done it for most prospects. &#x0298;  alaney2k'  &#x0298; ( talk ) 15:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. With the 2 supersources presented, it appears that he just squeaks by GNG. However, another source or 2 would be nice. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:26, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep I think this and this qualify as reliable non-routine, non-trivial coverage. Qrsdogg (talk) 16:21, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I disagree. The NHL article is routine, they've done it for most prospects. &#x0298; alaney2k'  &#x0298; ( talk ) 15:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep--there are now some good sources in the article. Meelar (talk) 22:47, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I disagree. There are no articles cited that are on the subject of the article specifically. If there are any, add them to the article. &#x0298; alaney2k  &#x0298; ( talk ) 13:12, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * While I am still unsure there is enough coverage here, this comment confuses me. Both the reliable sources discussed here are completely about Trocheck.  I can't find much in these sources that is not specifically on the subject of the article. Rlendog (talk) 14:01, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I was disagreeing with the statement directly above mine, the one from Meelar. You are supposed to create an article with valid references, not just create the article with nothing. &#x0298; alaney2k  &#x0298; ( talk ) 15:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I see. It looks like someone added the references to the article, for whatever it's worth. Rlendog (talk) 01:28, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
