fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG Joeykai (talk) 05:21, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He is only a school and university league player. That is not very notable by a large margin. He fails WP:NHOCKEY very clearly in light of his limited league participation and because he was also just a 2nd round NHL Entry Draft pick. Regarding general coverage: There are actually quite some articles which mention his name, but most of them are only in a passing mention for match reports or because of his father. Most of them are also just non-RS college newspapers. Thats not enough to pass the threshold of WP:GNG, because nothing of that is actually significant coverage of the subject itself. His father having an article also doesnt matter, as notability is not inherited. He fails WP:GNG therefore and the article should be deleted. Dead Mary (talk) 13:00, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per above. I'd also oppose a redirect, if anyone proposed one; I don't consider this a credible search term. Ravenswing 03:10, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
