Eeli Tolvanen[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to fail WP:GNG with only a couple of routine sources. Fails WP:NHOCKEY by being an amateur hockey player. USHL has no inherent presumed notability (he is a First Team selection), not yet drafted (so WP:TOOSOON applies), and has not played on a senior national team (only junior, which has no presumed notability).

Delete WP:TOOSOON as well. —usernamekiran[talk] 09:53, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eeli Tolvanen is ranked 8th in the final NHL Draft rankings, he will likely be drafted in the first round, in the upcoming draft. Deleting this entry now would be a bit daft, as the "too soon" designation would go away in June.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.168.161.220 (talk) 14:36, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter per WP:CRYSTAL. I would not be opposed to it being moved into the Draft status though and publish when and if he gets drafted. Yosemiter (talk) 14:42, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought - The 2017 NHL Entry Draft isn't that much further into the future and it could be easily documented that this future event (him being drafted) will take place per WP:CRYSTAL. He is very much projected to go in the first round. No true opinion on the matter. Would send to draft status - same can be said for Casey Mittelstadt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.97.10 (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails to meet WP:GNG or WP:NHOCKEY. No need to move to draft as the article can be undeleted if he ends up being a first round draft pick. (I typically do this around the draft each year anyway). -DJSasso (talk) 17:49, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
