Non-notable hockey player, fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence he passes the GNG. Played briefly in the pros without particular distinction. Ravenswing 20:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Redirect to List of Montreal Canadiens draft picks#1973 draft picks. Note: The sheer volume of AfD nominations by this editor (37-plus in the last three days alone) makes it impossible to fully research all of the articles to prove they meet GNG. Expecting any editor to properly research this large number of articles for GNG sources is not realistic or fair, especially when one considers that many of these AfDs require searching pre-Internet sources. Going straight to AfD with this many nominations, without first using PRODs or appropriate tagging, is disruptive. The nom should be reminded that deletion is a last resort, and per WP:BEFORE should only be used after other alternatives have been fully explored. Dolovis (talk) 04:46, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As many as a hundred articles go to AfD every day, and no one expects any editor to research all of them on the spot; happily, since these are Wikipedia's articles, and do not "belong" to any one editor, there's no onus on any one person to do so. What is seriously disruptive is creating so many BLP articles without even a cursory attempt at proper sourcing. Perhaps, rather than creating yet more NN sub-stubs, you could turn your attention to that. Would you like, by the bye, to proffer a reason to Keep? Ravenswing 06:33, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A search does not bring up any sources to meet GNG. And he also fails NHOCKEY. -DJSasso (talk) 19:16, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. a glance through Google newspaper archives and Highbeam do not show any signs that this player meets GNG. Dolovis' complaint about the number of recent AFDs limiting his ability to research for sources leads me to two questions: 1. Why hasn't he bothered researching even one of these articles to this point? And 2, given he has created articles at a far more prodigious rate in the past without concern for whether any of his creations meet GNG, why should anyone take his concern on this point seriously now?

Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. None of the leagues are considered a top professional league according to WP:NHOCKEY/LA. Patken4 (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
