Delete Reluctantly !! Cannot find sufficient to support even a weak WP:NEXIST. Ice hockey has such a low profile in Australian that one can pretty much assume non notable for any ice hockey player, unfortunately. Aoziwe (talk) 13:19, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:NHOCKEY. As Aoziwe alluded, no modern Australian hockey players who have only ever played in Australia can pass NHOCKEY. They should be PRODed instead of being brought to AFD. Madg2011 (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Due diligence here - According to the article Oddy has played in Britain, but in a second string league it looks like, and in an Emirates league (did not know they even had ice over there !) Aoziwe (talk) 01:52, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that's true. I speaking more in general to Sportsfan 1234 who has nominated tons of Aussie hockey players at AFD, a majority of which only played there. The AIHL doesn't appear on WP:NHOCKEY/LA, and the national team doesn't count either as it hasn't appeared at the top level of the Worlds since 1960. Thus, any modern Australian hockey player who's only ever played at home can't satisfy the NHOCKEY criteria (unless, of course, they have other GNG-meeting attributes) so I'd recommend they get deleted through PROD instead of clogging up AFD.

No problem. Aoziwe (talk) 13:00, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails NHOCKEY, no evidence the subject meets the GNG. As to that, these Aussie hockey articles were prodded ... and were systematically deprodded by Smartyllama. I'd direct complaints about bunging up AfD to him. Ravenswing 17:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
