Amateur ice hockey player who fails WP:ATHLETE and is not otherwise notable. Grsztalk 01:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Week keep for barely meeting the WP:BIO guidelines, as he's "competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport".-- 02:06, 9 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raj Krishnamurthy (talk • contribs)
    • Comment Hasn't yet played in a professional league. The QMJHL is not professional. -Djsasso (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the QMJHL is not a professional league. While he was drafted by an NHL team, he has not played in the NHL, nor has he played for a minor professional team at this point. WP:HOCKEY's internal guidelines only account for players drafted in the first round. Veilleux was a 2nd rounder. He'll very likely pass WP:ATHLETE in the future, but not today.

  • Delete: Yep. Odds that a second rounder will play pro hockey on some level are very large, but not certain. He still has a year of junior eligibility left, and hasn't established the manner of game that would secure him a pro berth.  RGTraynor  02:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Blackngold29 02:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's very likely he'll be considered notable in the future, but until then, he does not meet the criteria to merit an article. --t b c ♣§♠ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 03:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - notable athlete. U$er (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom it fails WP:ATHLETE at this time. JBsupreme (talk) 06:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 06:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per failure of WP:Athlete and no other claims of notability. Vickser (talk) 06:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He is currently under a three year contract with a professional team despite not playing. Has recognition due to playing for the QMJHL team at the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge, which is essentially equivalent to an all star team.

  • Delete Fails to meet WP:Athlete or the WP:HOCKEY standards for inclusion. Can be recreated when/if he plays professionally. Just because he is under contract does not mean he will ever play professionally. Its happened a few times where this is the case. So to include him for those reasons would be a case of WP:CRYSTAL. The difference between the ADT Challenge and an Allstar team is that there are only 5 players on an allstar team and there are 25 or so on each of the two teams in the challenge. -Djsasso (talk) 16:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not a professional and has yet to win a significant award as a junior. Patken4 (talk) 21:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails to meet notability standards. – Nurmsook! talk... 23:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
