As per a discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey it is felt that just because a persons name is inscribed on the Stanley Cup (NHL championship trophy) they do not warrant their own article unless they were an actual player on the team. This particular gentleman was just a trainer on the team. We do not feel this makes him notable enough to be on wikipedia as his own article, and instead intend to create a list of the people on the trophy that were "staff" members on the winning teams to cover their inclusion in wikipedia.

• Weak keep. He was inducted into the Professional Hockey Athletic Trainers Society/Society of Professional Hockey Equipment Managers Hall of Fame. This is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame [1]. Although this is a biography of a person that many people will not know, he has received one of the top accolades of his profession. -- JamesTeterenko 01:52, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• • Merge and redirect as per reasons given in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Huffine -- JamesTeterenko 05:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, fails WP:BIO, WP:V. The article asserts (without verification) that he received such an induction, but the actual webpage at the HHOF site, as per that link, doesn't include him in the list of inductees.  RGTraynor  14:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. That link doesn't show any inductees after 2004. I was able to find this reference, which speaks to him being inducted with Ron Waske in 2006. -- JamesTeterenko 15:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. It doesn't speak well of the notability of the award that the HHOF hasn't updated the page in three years.  RGTraynor  15:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very true. However, I am changing my vote on all the nominations, since the intention was to keep the information within Wikipedia anyway. -- JamesTeterenko 05:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. All I can say is, Jim who? GoodDay 17:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
