Comment - According to the article and a reliable source, Bengstsson was named to the 2008-09 Rikspucken All-Star Team. I am not sure if this meets criterion 4 of WP:NHOCKEY. He would have been 15 or 16 years old at the time, so this may not qualify as a "major junior league". Rlendog (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "Rikspucken" translates from Swedish as “National puck”, and to be named to the Rikspucken All-Star Team means he was the best junior hockey player in Sweden at his position. This meets WP:NHOCKEY criteria #4 as a preeminent honour in a major junior league. Dolovis (talk) 03:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - Rikspucken was a one time tournament which occurred in 2009 for junior players who were too old for TV-pucken. Therefore, I do not agree it is a major junior league, and also means that he fails WP:NHOCKEY criteria #4. I did, however, find a source for when he signed for Rögle at hd.se, a regional newspaper, but I'm wondering if it will suffice to meet WP:GNG. Tooga - BØRK! 20:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep - This is a borderline case: although his career to this point barely, if at all, meets the WP:NHOCKEY criteria, he was, in fact, drafted by the NHL last month (June 2011) so there is a strong likelihood he'll meet the requirements in a few months. For that reason, I'm tilting towards Keep. --Noleander (talk) 01:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being drafted by an NHL team should imply notability. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ice hockey Ordoinc (talk) Ordoinc (talk) 07:20, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There are hundreds of draftees who don't have any news mention beyond that they were drafted, so the policy is to limit this to first-rounders, but Bengtsson is a second-rounder. Lots of players have one training camp, go down to minors and play a year or two before they get out of hockey. Bengtsson is iffy, but there is not enough based on what is in the article. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 14:04, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
