Brent Regner

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Minor league hockey player who has not yet established himself to meet notability requirements per WP:NHOCKEY. This 2nd year AHL player is currently his team's eighth defenceman. He is nursing nagging injuries and has dressed for only 18 games to the halfway point of this season. Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. Dolovis (talk) 03:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: May not meet WP:NHOCKEY, but certainly otherwise achieves notability through WP:GNG. I don't have links for all the articles (aside from this), but in a search of the Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database at ProQuest.com, I found quite a few non-trivial articles about the subject. (ie: "Scouts can take a bow: Rookie Regner the latest undrafted nugget unearthed", The Province, November 8, 2006, p. A55; "Standing out in a stellar back end; Regner's been one of the team's best defencemen in the playoffs", The Province, April 10, 2007, p. A54; "Regner's taking Giant steps; Defenceman out to prove size doesn't always matter", The Province, January, 20, 2009; and many more). Plus routine coverage of him being signed to a contract, as well as regular coverage for just playing and putting up stats in pro games. I'd say he passes WP:GNG no problem. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 06:44, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:NHOCKEY. Recreate when/if the athlete becomes notable in the future. Kugao (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
