NN amateur teenage hockey player, fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence that he meets the GNG. Article is all but unreferenced in any case, and the creation of an editor with numerous such articles up at AfD. Ravenswing 19:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: WP:TOOSOON for now. Best article I found for GNG is this decent draft profile from THN. Everything else is in the realm of WP:ROUTINE and passing mentions, usually less than a paragraph. Un-delete when and if he gets drafted in the first round. Yosemiter (talk) 03:02, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Besides the THN article I also found this from nhl.com and this from the Boston Globe. There is also this from USHL, although that may not qualify as "independent." But even without that, I think he meets the GNG bar. Rlendog (talk) 15:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone can access the Detroit Free Press from January 30, 2016 there may be another article on him on page B7. I can see a promising looking snippet on newspapers.com, but the full article is behind a paywall. Rlendog (talk) 16:01, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft: Possesses high potential. Hurrygane (talk) 19:38, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moving to Draft status would be appropriate. All these articles were likely created prematurely and have at least a 50% chance of being a first round pick in the NHL draft. Yosemiter (talk) 14:45, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Has been the subject of significant coverage, including [1] [2] [3] - Hirolovesswords (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the sources provided by Hirolovesswords are enough to get him past GNG even if he doesn't meet NHOCKEY. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The sources found by Hirolovesswords establish that Jake Oettinger passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard (talk) 04:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - It passes WP:GNG due to the sources found by Hirolovesswords --Kostas20142 (talk) 12:01, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
