The result was keep. Consensus is that this fails WP:NHOCKEY but has sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG. (non-admin closure) SSTflyer 09:05, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:NHOCKEY Joeykai (talk) 02:53, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that the first point of NHOCKEY is "Played one or more games in an existing or defunct top professional league", and Siegenthaler has played 80+ games in the National League A, a top professional league, I think that makes him notable. Ho-ju-96 (talk) 09:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. ~~Obviously passes WP:NHOCKEY as he has played for a team in his country's highest professional league.~~ Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 11:08, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NLA is not necessarily enough for WP:NHOCKEY per comment below. However, there is I think sufficient coverage for a keep vote: the links below, here, as well as more hockey-focused sources such as this, this shorter article (French), a profile here... (NB the first link says that he has played a game for the Capitals, though as it was pre-season I don't think that counts for WP:NHOCKEY. Still, I think the GNG is satisfied).

Comment - Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/League assessment doesn't regard the NLA as a "top professional league." But given that he has close to 100 games there (and the 200 game threshold for 2nd tier leagues may be overly restrictive for the NLA, which only plays a 50 game season), and has been prominent for the Swiss junior team, it may be possible to find enough coverage to meet WP:GNG.
