[edit] Maxim Mayorov

Maxim Mayorov (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This player is not yet notable. Is not playing at the highest level in the country nevermind in his sport. He is only currently a 4th round draft pick which is a long shot to become a notable player and is definitely not a top prospect. No different than the current standard of not creating articles for North American junior players until they have played pro. Djsasso 05:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Hold off until he's done something to be considered notable. Just being drafted at all (i.e., not in the first round or so) is not a basis for notability. fuzzy510 05:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Hockey Project article guidelines. Player is not yet notable. Pparazorback 05:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per the above reasons. Thricecube 08:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable per WP:HOCKEY guideline. *drew 15:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Not yet notable, so do not salt. Bearian 20:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Even the article's source grades him a zero out of 10 as a prospect. Canuckle 00:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep While he doesn't meet WikiProject Ice Hockey's notability standards, he does meet WP:BIO's standard by playing in a fully professional league (Vysshaya Liga), even if it isn't the highest league in the country. I'm not convinced a project's criteria should trump a Wikipedia guideline, at least in being more restrictive. On the other hand, it is a mostly unsourced stub article, and while I think it meets the notability guidelines, it does so by the skin of its teeth. - Fordan (talk) 00:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Unfortunately the fully professional comment makes things a bit murky in Europe because kids can sign up and play in leagues run by the higher up clubs and are technically paid allowances to do so making them fully professional. Which would mean any kid signed up into one of these leagues would be wiki eligible. Which is one of the reasons the Wikiproject sought to create a more clear picture of what is notable and what is not. --Djsasso 04:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
