The previous AfD appears to have been kept based off of
Assertion of notability votes, but did not actually supply any references or sources that would in fact pass
WP:GNG. The assertion was that since the subject played on a national team, he is therefore notable, even though the sport specific guideline,
WP:NHOCKEY (which itself is still subject to GNG even if a player meets one of the criteria) specifically calls out only the top division national teams to have presumed notability. The player mostly played in the
third tier of the IIHF championship, not for
The World Championship, just to earn promotion (which they earned in 2008–09, but only up to the second tier before being relegated back down again). As shown in
his stats sheet, he has also not played in a league that has presumed notability as researched and documented in the
league assessment for presumed player notability, an essay written to document leagues that have been known to be covered well enough in media that GNG-relevant sources should be able to be found.
Delete: per nom. I suppose I can't rail too much at people being unfamiliar with sports notability criteria when those who are declined to participate in the AfD, but both of those Keep voters are veteran editors who should at least have troubled themselves to glance at the pertinent criteria first.
