Delete there is no indication that the redlink team for which this guy played was fully professional, and having articles like this with no more than an initial and surname played for such-and-such is not good for this encyclopedia. Where's the bio in this one liner? We don't know where or when he was born, whether he is still alive, what his life story is, or even his freaking first name. C'mon, this isn't a bio, it's a WP:NOT#DIRECTORY entry. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. A quick Google establishes that this is all verifiable, but adds nothing, not even the name. If all the hockey fans of the Internet know or care this little about him, I strongly doubt he's notable. Anturiaethwr (talk) 20:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The Detroit Pontiac McLeans played in the Michigan-Ontario Hockey League, so the evidence suggests that its players aren't automatically notable. I found this reference, which may be the source for this article. If the evidence showed that he had played at the highest level, I would not delete the article for being too brief, though. A stub of a verifiable biography of a notable person is better than none at all, but I agree that notability has not been established in this case. For an entirely different R. Terry, see http://movies.nytimes.com/person/1227421/R-Terry/filmography , credited for a song in New Jack City. -Eastmain (talk) 20:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
