Keep. Passes WP:GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:40, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - enough coverage from independent, reliable sources already in the article to meet GNG. Rlendog (talk) 15:10, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I'll just point out that while this AfD was active, Beck played his first NHL game. While playing in the NHL no longer meets NHOCKEY (almost nothing meets it now), this does meet the former NHOCKEY guideline, and I don't think we ever had a situation where we had a GNG issue for a modern NHLer (any issues were related to NHLers from many years ago). Which, besides all the reliable sources in the article, ought to give comfort that he meets our notability guidelines. Rlendog (talk) 19:38, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- You should really consider reading WP:NHOCKEY, because Beck did not meet any of the criteria listed there until playing his first NHL game on January 28, 2023. – sbaio 14:56, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree with you. He didn't meet the old version of NHOCKEY until he played his first NHL game (while this AfD was active), and even now does not meet the new version of NHOCKEY. But he does meet GNG. Rlendog (talk) 16:09, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As the author of this AFD – it should be closed since he played his first NHL game, which satisfies WP:NHOCKEY. – sbaio 14:56, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
