[edit] Mike Stapleton

The person is not notable. Just another hockey player. There are lots of retired hockeys players. He did not do anything special to be notable enough to have this article on him. No references are included which makes it essentially original research. This is very easy to delete this stub article which won't amount to anything. Zangees 03:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong and speedy Keep Per WP:BIO, all athletes who have even played one minute of one game in a fully professional league are notable. This guy played in almost 700 games!!! Highly notable without question. Nominator's only edits have been to add this AfD. (Edited.) --Charlene 03:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep (edit conflict) Easily meets WP:BIO as a professional athlete in a fully professional league and is verifiable - see here. I am not one hundred percent sure this nomination was made in good faith seeing as its the only contribution this editor has made - see here.-- Mattinbgn/ talk 03:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Daft nomination. Nick mallory 04:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Twice edit-conflicted Speedy keep per User:Charlene.fic, the player is indubitably notable. I, too, think this is a bad faith nom, seeing as it's the user's only contribs. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 04:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
