[edit] John Lovell

John Lovell (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Well this is an interesting case in that this guy was my accounting teacher a couple years back. However I don't think he's notable enough to be on Wikipedia as he played only two seasons of NCAA hockey and he also coached three OHL teams. I wouldn't bet against it being written by one of his students during his class. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 14:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete keeping this would open the floodgates for every college athlete ever having an article. No verifiability either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: fails WP:V and even the loose standards of WP:BIO, never mind the criteria in place at the hockey WikiProject. No notability as a player, and while he's held some major junior coaching positions, a directed Google search for "John Lovell" + "Platers" (his most recent team) turns up only 29 hits, only a handful of which are relevant [1]. This guy just isn't on the radar, however much I'm happy to see fellow former Huskies up on Wikipedia.  RGTraynor  14:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, oh I'll add one more thing that's not in the article but is important. He was/is an assistant coach of the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League, I still think that doesn't make him notable enough though. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 14:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete if no sources are provided' -- I did a google-search on "John Lovell" + ECHL and came up with a few items on ECHL sites, and 2 sportsillustrated.cnn.com articles that simply list him as traded from one team to another. I googled "John Lovell" +"Toronto Rock" and only got results from a few lacrosse team sites and message boards. Unless someone can add some independent sources (media articles, etc), he doesn't appear to meet notability criteria. ColtsScore 20:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
