This is a non-notable minor ice hockey player who fails WP:NHOCKEY HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:27, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep... While obviously not a great deal going on with this particular article, the basis of failed WP:NHOCKEY has got my attention and raises questions! Initial notability was gained under the stipulation of at least 200 regular season games at the 'second tier' levels. This 200 games played has been the common practice and basis for a considerable number of ice hockey articles. The removal of games played in NHOCKEY was edited by a single user without discussion on April 2022 and has gone unnoticed until this point to my knowledge..unless i've missed the changing of goalposts somewhere else..Triggerbit (talk) 05:27, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Triggerbit, I believe there was a discussion and I will try and find it. Even so the wording said "Significant coverage is likely to exist." There is no significant coverage of this player that I found when doing a WP:BEFORE search. He still doesn't pass GNG. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Triggerbit@HickoryOughtShirt?4 There was consensus in the WP:NSPORTS2022 mega-RfC to remove all participation-based criteria from NSPORTS. The "200 second-league games" criterium would fall under that category. However, it seems the GNG maybe met after all; it would be great if you could both take a look at the sources below.

- Thank you Toadspike! I was not able to locate that myself and was honestly thinking I imagined it. I will review the sources below. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:40, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

- He arguably meets GNG, see e.g. 1 2 3. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:26, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11 Good finds. Do you perhaps have one more? I'm leaning weak keep here, as the first two pieces could be counted as one, being from the same paper and mostly about the same event. Toadspike [Talk] 07:20, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11 and Toadspike: Regrding ref #1 [1]: you cannot even write more than a sentence with the actual information it provides you. All it tells us is that he missed 14 games with a broken thumb and turned 19. I would argue that this ref I found provides more detail than that one. I will conceded that this may push him past GNG but I personally believe that this follows the letter, not the spirit, of the guideline. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
