This doesn't really assert notability IMO, but comes close enough to render a speedy too difficult. The subject is a writer who has written one book (which doesn't have an article, so it appears not too notable) and a journalist with some websites, but no major roles it seems to me. It also lacks any third-party sourcing. It reads like a curriculum vitae. Golbez (talk) 18:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I do not see a 19 year old hockey fan who writes for his local hockey magazine as notable enough for Wikipedia. He's probably virtually unknown outside of British Columbia. I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote the article himself. Are we to expect that there is anyone else who would be able to contribute substantially to this article? His book also appears to have been published through Cacoethes Publishing House, which looks like either a vanity press or an on-demand ebook printing site.

Delete Lots of fluff to look notable, but let's break it down: First of all, he is a journalism student at college. Secondly, he is an editor-in-chief of a fan site for a hockey team. Third, Orato is basically a news site where anyone can post a story. Fourth, writing for a student newspaper, The Charlatan, is again non-notable. Fifth, his book is published by a publishing house established 2 years ago (2007), and shows no sign of notability. All in all, he seems to be on his way to a real sports journalism career, but as of yet has not done anything that meets WP:N. Angryapathy (talk) 19:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per others above. conflict of interest entry created by Canuck Hockey, a single purpose account. Short on WP:RS and relies too heavily on WP:SPS Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 20:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
