Delete most ridiculous thing I've seen on Wikipedia. --Krm500 21:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete. Totally OR, just someone's opinion, and unprovable. Probably this could be speedy deleted. Malinaccier (talk • contribs) 22:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete WP:NOR. Completely based on creators opinion, does not belong on Wikipedia - this is an encyclopedia. Pparazorback 22:16, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete To be honest, I think the article would be a great addition to Wikipedia. However, it does not cite sources, therefore, POV. Hence, delete. Sorry. Shoessss | Chat 22:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any type of list, even somehow sourced, would still be a POV violation. It is not like this is a listing of the top 100 goal scorers of all-time that would be based on fact. I do not think it would be possible for this type of article to ever survive an afd. I could be wrong though. -Pparazorback 22:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete per all the obvious reasons. Skudrafan1 23:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: just for the record, based on one of this editor's other recent edits, this list comes from a book published by The Hockey News. This just not change the fact that the list does not belong on Wikipedia, of course. Skudrafan1 23:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete Thanks for posting the link. Sadly, it turns out it ISN'T based on The Hockey News book, after looking at the link and the table of contents. The editor seems to disagree with THN on everybody but Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr. Wouldn't it be great if we could all post our opinions about the top 100 NHL players of all time on Wikipedia?

Overwhelmingly Strong Delete: per above. Heck, I can't imagine a Top THOUSAND list that would include Bryan Fogarty's name. RGTraynor 01:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, I guess I should have looked more closely before I assumed the edits were related. I guess the editor just thought anything that said "Top 100 NHL Players of All-Time" should be linked to this page. Skudrafan1 01:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably so. I looked at the link you provided Skud, and Howe and Lemieux were flip flopped from this guy's article. I predict this article won't be around for more than another day if it takes that long .. WP:SNOW. Pparazorback 02:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Massive point of view problems, no sources. --Phirazo 03:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I believe this list comes from a Sports Illustrated issue? I could be wrong.Flibirigit 05:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete My bad, it was Hockey News. This information would be better used in the form of.. "Bobby Orr was ranked second overall according to...;" but it does not deserve an article to itself. Flibirigit 05:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SNOW DELETE - What acronym doesn't this violate? --Djsasso 06:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
