[edit] Rob Kuelbs

Short biographical article about a Not Notable minor league hockey player whose team the Dallas Freeze does not even have a page, Probable Vanity Nick Y. 03:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Melchoir 04:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The closest Wikipedia has is Central Hockey League. I don't see a single article on a player from it, though. Melchoir 04:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - The CHL (which is a low minor league, come to that) used to have a team called the Dallas Freeze, but that folded years ago, and even there a player for the CHL would not qualify under WP:BIO unless he'd played in the NHL, which very few CHL players ever manage. This is some rec league. RGTraynor 08:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable bio/vanity. It looks like the Dallas Freeze do have a website [1], but it indicates the team is just a rec. league team. Could Rob be this guy [2]? --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete the amateur athlete. NN until they reach the NHL. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• While I don't agree with the "NN until NHL" comments (I'd say, for instance, a top AHL player or a very nice Canadian Hockey League prospect deserves a page), the optimistic appraisal of this guy is that he's playing in the Central League, which is to my knowledge the lowest professional league in North America whose players are usually of strictly local importance. Delete. Lord Bob 03:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - It'd be a fantastic appraisal, too; the Freeze dropped out of the CHL after the 1995 season. (The lowest pro league in North America is probably the SPHL, too, but the CHL is right down there.) RGTraynor 14:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• I thought the SPHL was semi-pro, but a quick look at our article on the subjects shows it is not. Point, RGTraynor. Lord Bob 00:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
