The article fails WP:NHOCKEY, and while I can't speak for the notability of veterans, the page is largely made by one user (who I suspect is the subject of the article; the numbers of the username match his birthdate, and they have mainly only worked on this page), and sounds more like a promotional article for the individual.

Rewrite or Delete: The article shows some potential, however it suffers from WP:COISELF. Besides being a war veteran, nothing else is significant. (WP:CONTN, WP:NTEMP, WP:SUSTAINED) Your welcome | Democratics ^Talk 08:57, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:SOLDIER big time: Rank and highest award. I can't speak to Athlete. The bit about social media presence makes me think WP:NOTWEBHOST may need to be invoked as well. The match between the DOB and the numbers in the username is suspicious.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 02:37, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can speak to NHOCKEY, and he doesn't come remotely close; this "USA Warriors" team seems to be an amateur charity outfit. Fair enough, but notability isn't inherited no matter which amateur senior team he plays for or how many selfies he's taken with NHLers. Ravenswing 03:13, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
