Non-notable player, fails the criteria for notability in WP:HOCKEY. Low-round draftee, played only three mediocre seasons in the low minors.  RGTraynor  07:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep: Unfortunately WP:BIO overrules and he meets the criteria there by having played in a fully professional league (the ECHL). --JD554 (talk) 08:16, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Even though the ECHL is considered a pro league, it still is a "tier" below the AHL. By using that argument, you can give every ECHL player a wikipedia entry, and that would be an awful idea. -RiverHockey (talk) 18:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I do believe thats in the process of happening. Creating precedents doesn't hurt either... --Djsasso (talk) 20:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - per WP:HOCKEY's own criteria for inclusion. He played 3 seasons in the ECHL and 2 in the UHL which is now the IHL. Thus meets the criteria Played five or more seasons, and at least 100 games, in a fully professional minor league such as the American Hockey League, the International Hockey League, the ECHL, the Mestis, the HockeyAllsvenskan or other such league. --Pparazorback (talk) 12:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment: he only played three pro seasons: 2003-04 for both Toledo and Atlantic City (both in ECHL), 2004-05 for Atlantic City (ECHL) and Missouri (UHL) then 2005-06 for Port Huron(UHL).--JD554 (talk) 13:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Change to Delete - per WP:HOCKEY's own criteria for inclusion, Did not meet criteria since he did not play five or more years in a fully professional minor league. That is why you do not do research 5 minutes after waking up, Thanks for the correction, JD554. -Pparazorback (talk) 00:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable minor player who barely even got within 3 levels of the highest level of the sport, and as JD mentioned, only played less than 3 full seasons with the teams he did play for. -Djsasso (talk) 14:30, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per WP:NOT#PAPER. While he only played three pro seasons, he does meet WP:BIO. While that introduces notability for thousands upon thousands of minor league atheletes who are otherwise forgettable, there is no harm in keeping the article per current guidelines.

  • Keep - Policy (WP:BIO) trumps projects (WP:HOCKEY) every time. - fchd (talk) 20:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
    • WP:BIO isn't policy, it's a guideline, and the difference is that a guideline can be much more loosely bent, ie a project's guideline. Maxim(talk) 23:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
