The result was keep. But I'm stubbifying it to keep it neutral. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted as promotional, the sources if they can be called that do not show anything that is in the article, they show his name dob and that he plays hockey that's about it. I think ultimately there isn't enough coverage to justify this article. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:04, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup as necessary. He competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics and is notable per WP:NOLYMPICS. • Gene93k (talk) 16:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete notability is not the issue, article is promotional and unsourced, no sign of anyone prepared to salvage it Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:44, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If he played for the olympics, and there are good sources for it as here, it's always better to salvage the article. We can always stubbify it in the meantime because there are no sources for part of the career, but even if it had the one sourced sentence that he participated in the 08 Olympics, it would be a valid article. I agree with HIAB than sometimes the rule about the Olympics appears to be excessively broad, but its better to simply keep them all than have the thousands of arguments. BTW, is his current hockey club notable at the top national level ? DGG ( talk ) 21:29, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep definitely notable as an Olympic athlete. I just pruned back a bunch of the unsourced content and promotional language. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:42, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
