Keep: The notability guidelines say the "Played one or more games in an existing or defunct top professional league;" and the player has played in the top league in Turkey. Furius (talk) 09:23, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete playing in Turkey does not satisfy the conditions needed to pass WP:NHOCKEY. Furius, please read the supporting document about league assessment that is linked at the very top of the notability guidelines and you'll see where you went wrong.

That seems a very sad rule to me, but does seem to be the rule. Furius (talk) 00:28, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - No indication of GNG. Sources are all databases, stat sites or brief routine mentions. Fenix down (talk) 07:32, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Another in a long list of Turkish ice hockey players with several WP:ROUTINE mentions, but nothing with the significant depth needed for passing WP:GNG. Has only played in the fourth and third tier of the IIHF Worlds (with the team winning and being promoted to the third for 2017 and then relegated again), but that is nowhere near the top level as required by NHOCKEY #6.

Delete Another article on a Turkish hockey player who fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY and whose sources consist solely of routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 20:45, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
