This article has remained a stub and received virtually no editor traffic since its creation in 2009. Further internet searches reveal no mainstream media reporting on the article's subject and only one non-circular, non-crowd-edited mention of the subject of any kind (namely the single, unelaborated page of statistics on the hockey page linked to currently). Unless others can produce print sources I am not finding, I suggest deleting. Thank you. AsadR (talk) 22:30, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. With 4 games in the NHL, the subject passes WP:NHOCKEY. We've had many AfD discussions for stubs like this. They are usually kept. • Gene93k (talk) 22:45, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Subject easily passes notability standards by virtue of playing in the NHL.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 05:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Playing in any number of games (even as few as this guy) in the NHL is one of the notability standards for hockey players on Wikipedia. Canuck^{89 (talk to me)} 05:47, October 14, 2013 (UTC)
Keep. Passes WP:NHOCKEY. See also WP:NOEFFORT, WP:TOOLITTLE. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:13, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets criteria #1 of NHOCKEY. Dolovis (talk) 21:55, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For fun, I also added some additional sourcing and content.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:35, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Snowball Keep This article doesn't have a snowballs chance of being deleted when the player played in the NHL. -DJSasso (talk) 12:24, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - an accolade that I don't have time to add to the article, also a trivial mention: First Team All-Star in junior. Also this: [1], but with no abstract, I am not really willing to pay $3 to see if this is a story of any length. tiny blurb from HHOF. Also, even at 4 games, he will have an entry in Players, a book I have that documents every NHLer from 1917 to 2003. Given his 1959 Memorial Cup performance, he could also be noted in a book I have related to the Canadian junior championship. Resolute 14:06, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, you are completely unable to satisfy GNG. Dolovis (talk) 14:12, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Bear in mind that I have not advocated a keep !vote, while you have. Also, I don't much care if you want to act like an ass in your interactions with me, but you should consider that your cute little WP:POINT here undermines your own keep arguments, both here and in most other AfD you participate in.

Not at all. I have not been hypocritically, and I do not choose when and where I will rely upon the criteria of NHOCKEY in my arguments to keep articles such as this one. My reasons in AfDs for keeping articles such as this one have been consistent. Per WP:NSPORTS, this article, and others like it, should be kept so long as they “provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets ... the sport specific criteria” as set forth in NHOCKEY. Dolovis (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chiming in - I never looked at WP:NHOCKEY before, but if playing one game in the SM-liiga is presumed to make a player notable, Wayne Hall is highly notable in comparison.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 20:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Documentation showing he played in the NHL makes this easy--meets WP:NHOCKEY. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
