Non-notable hockey player who fails WP:NHOCKEY. No Evidence he passes WP:GNG. Coycan (talk) 16:23, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Fails WP:NHOCKEY but he meets the criteria for WP:GNG. Searching Highbeam I found a bunch of stories about his hockey career that go beyond routine coverage. There's also coverage of him as a referee and coverage of his lawsuit stemming from an accident that ended his career. Tchaliburton (talk) 04:28, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Fails WP:NHOCKEY and needs better sources to meet WP:GNG. Jakejr (talk) 05:06, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate on your issue with the sources in relation to WP:GNG? Tchaliburton (talk) 05:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I felt that the coverage was the usual reporting of a local athlete that is common. Jakejr (talk) 01:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. These stories are not routine coverage of a local athlete. There are in-depth pieces about his hockey career and separate profiles about him as a referee. Tchaliburton (talk) 02:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per Tchaliburton. Sources are suffice to meet GNG. --Hockeyben ^{(talk -} ^contribs) 14:03, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Most of the significant coverage on Highbeam is from the Portland Press Herald, so that basically counts as one source. But there is also coverage in the Stockton Record. And minor coverage elsewhere. So I think this just gets over the GNG bar. In any case, even if he is not notable enough for a standalone article the sourceable text should be merged with Frank Bathe, not deleted. Rlendog (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm uncertain, but leaning keep based on Rlendog's very good analysis. At the same time -- though not an AfD issue -- I would think that when creating articles like this it is generally good practice to have supporting refs; this article, though it has ELs, is lacking in refs, which is the sort of thing that attracts AfD nominations.
