  • Keep, unless I'm missing something obvious here. He's played numerous games at the top professional league in the UK, so surely meets WP:NHOCKEY criteria. Sionk (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NHOCKEY/LA considers the EIHL a "Lower-level leagues" which means that in order to pass NHOCKEY he would have to have "Achieved preeminent honors" which he has not. Joeykai (talk) 21:21, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Surely if he's played that many games as a goaltender he meets the criteria all the same. Sionk (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, he doesn't. Have you read the criteria? Joeykai (talk) 18:48, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was a rhetorical question. "Played at least 200 games (90 games for a goaltender)... in top-level minor leagues or second tier national leagues" Sionk (talk) 18:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I already addressed this, but look at WP:NHOCKEY/LA. The EIHL is not a top-level minor league, it is a lower-lever minor league, which means the only way he can pass NHOCKEY with his EIHL career is if he passed criteria #4 of NHOCKEY which is "achieved preeminent honors" and he has not done this.

  • Delete The only thing that he can be assessed on as an ice hockey player is on criterion #4 and he falls well short of the requirements. The current conversation about his eligibility under criterion #3 is moot as he has never played in a league of that caliber at this point in time.

  • Delete No significant coverage to meet WP:GNG and fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY. Mdtemp (talk) 17:28, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The subject of the article fails WP:NHOCKEY and the only source is not an independent one. — Omni Flames (talk contribs) 05:44, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
