Prab Rai

Non-notable junior hockey player who has not yet played professionally so fails WP:ATHLETE. Has not won any major awards to otherwise achieve notability. Can be created when/if he plays professionally or otherwise achieves notability. Djsasso (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - popular, but not notable as of yet. leafschik1967 (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: That he may play pro one day is a possibility, but he hasn't yet, and he won't next season. Fails WP:ATHLETE and the WP:HOCKEY notability criteria both. RGTraynor 22:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Yes, this clearly doesn't meet the notability criteria for athletes, which should be used as a rule of thumb, but that isn't the biggest issue. The biggest issue for me is that it fails WP:V. I don't see this article ever not failing WP:V either. I searched this players name in google, and went over the first 450 results. One was for ESPN, and it had just about no information on him, and the other was this. The US Today article isn't much better either. Also, he doesn't meet my standards as well;-) You can't gather basic information about him(Birth, place of birth,etc) from reliable sources, and nothing really "sets him apart" from the average hockey player in the minor leagues that I can find.--SJP (talk) 23:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He's not in the minor leagues, he's in junior hockey still. Has yet to win a major award in junior hockey. Patken4 (talk) 00:43, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
