fails NHOCKEY and GNG Joeykai (talk) 05:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Another NN article among hundreds of AfDed stubs from Dolovis, who routinely created articles claiming (against unanimous consensus) that participation in youth amateur tournaments somehow passed NHOCKEY's requirements. This has never been true, and no evidence the subject passes the GNG -- beyond routine sports coverage explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE -- was ever proffered.

Keep due to the awards he has won (see WP:NHOCKEY #4).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:08, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not sure the USHL a high enough league to qualify for NHOCKEY #4. That said, being named the top defenseman in the league may well have earned him sufficient coverage to meet GNG (I haven't checked yet). Rlendog (talk) 18:16, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The USHL is not a major junior league, and doesn't qualify for #4. As far as passing the GNG, I only found one bit amidst the usual horde of WP:ROUTINE mentions -- a short piece on the Comcast Sports Net Chicago site. It'd be tough to argue from that that a USHL award confers presumptive notability. Ravenswing 19:35, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete coverage is too low to meet GNG, and the award is not enough to gain notability either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:01, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He might meet #4. I am not sure that it is any lower a league than the Central Hockey League to be honest. I know I always considered its awards on par with Major Junior even if the league itself is not. That being said, there is no proof he meets GNG that I can find which in the end rules the day. -DJSasso (talk) 10:55, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
