[edit] Art Hodgins

This article is on a hockey player. It was created by the man's son as a memorial, and he removed the prod tag I added a few months back. He asked how he could improve the article, and I replied, but he didn't take much advice. There are no sources and no ELs. I don't know, however, if the leagues mentioned make this player notable or not. It appears he did not play for any National Hockey League team, but are the "all-conquering Harringay Racers" and the other teams at the highest British level of hockey play?

Since there are no sources to confirm the claims made or investigate notability, the article should be deleted. - KrakatoaKatie 02:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Pro player meets the notability guideline, and I turned up some sources via google. See here. Bfigura (talk) 04:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Hall of Famer [1], and some sources are easily found with a quick Google search [2], [3]. THe article needs improved referencing, but remains a valid article about a person who meets the criteria for athletes listed in WP:BIO (professional league, etc.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as member of British HOF. Smashville 00:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Sjakkalle. The Hall of Fame membership is sufficient for notability. I agree that the article needs some work, but the above sources should help. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 15:00, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
