• Keep - Meets criteria #6 of WP:NHOCKEY “Played on a senior national team (such as at the Olympic Games or World Championship).” Member of the Estonia men's national ice hockey team from 2010 to 2014.[1]. Dolovis (talk) 00:54, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete While he meets nhockey by playing in a lower non-championship division of the world championships. He does not pass GNG. There are no sources about him to be found. Being that a player is still required to pass GNG ultimately this needs to be deleted. -DJSasso (talk) 12:19, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  We both agree that he is to be presumed notable per NHOCKEY until proven otherwise. Presumably GNG can be demonstrated with the help of Estonian sources, which I am not able to search due to the language barrier. Have you tried looking for Estonian sources? Dolovis (talk) 17:27, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes actually I have. I am also sure the nominator did as well being from that region. Having dealt with the nom in the past I would find it highly unlikely they would nominate an Estonian unless they could not prove them notable. I would also note, its not notable until proven otherwise, its notable until questioned. The minute the notability is questioned it must be proven. -DJSasso (talk) 00:12, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
