Delete: Another of the many hundreds of NN articles created by Dolovis in open and knowing defiance of consensus concerning applicable notability guidelines, and for which he received a community ban from new article creation. Fails NHOCKEY, no evidence the subject -- a journeyman in the semi-pro low minors with an ephemeral, undistinguished career -- meets the GNG. Ravenswing 15:59, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a non-notable hockey player. I wonder if someone could do a group nomination of articles created by Dolovis.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:37, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Bad idea, unfortunately. It's been tried, but there are two factors. First off, I'm sure you've seen a faction of the AfD community increasingly hostile to bundled nominations, which in my personal POV has to do more with a hatred of deletion policy altogether than anything else. The second is that Dolovis wasn't always wrong. He did create some articles about notable players, and some of the NN players for whom he created articles became notable down the road. However much of a pain in the ass it is, we do have to look at each case. Ravenswing 04:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
