Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ice hockey: Difference between revisions

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Ice hockey. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace “PageName” with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Ice hockey|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Ice hockey. For the other XfD’s, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia’s deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Minor league ice hockey radio broadcast system which fails to meet WP:GNG. Searching online reveals that some station exist and formerly broadcast games, but I could not find any in depth coverage. Flibirigit (talk) 14:22, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Radio, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Shellwood (talk) 14:43, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Aside from the above, and that this article hasn’t been meaningfully edited in over a decade, what SIGCOV has been given to this putative network beyond namedrops? Ravenswing 18:42, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete ‘Network’ hasn’t really existed for a decade (most of the teams have moved exclusively to the league’s streaming service), and this is less a network and more just a list of stations that carried the team’s play-by-play in the past which is purposefully limited just because of how utterly small the team’s territory is. Nathannah • 📮 19:42, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as original prodder. This is the only one we have in the AHL. My BEFORE research indicated that they didn’t even have a radio stream now, but the main point is that this network never had standalone notability. This is decidedly not the case for teams in major pro sports and major college teams. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 19:58, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: A clear remnant of the ultra-low inclusion standards for radio-related topics in 2007. The PROD here failed because this is apparently a historical document to be retained in case the network ever comes back, but this does not address the sourcing (or lack thereof), notability (or lack thereof), or the tighter inclusion standards of 2026. Sourced mentions of the team’s run of its flagship stations at least probably merit some mention at Providence Bruins and/or the stations’ articles, but a separate article isn’t warranted.

The volume of search hits is not an accurate indicator of notability. We need something other than match reports or passing mentions, and sports coverage is often full of that type of thing. To prove notability we do actually need specific evidence. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:22, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
