Not notable by WP:NHOCKEY standards. Jim Mahon trophy is not a major award. Coverage of the subject is not independent and/or significant. Mileworth (talk) 16:08, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - The Jim Mahon Memorial Trophy is awarded to the top scoring right winger in the Ontario Hockey League–that is, only one player per season achieves it. The article is primarily sourced to the Guelph Mercury, one of the oldest newspapers in Ontario, which should serve as an adequately independent source. At least three of the articles are written about Beck specifically, therefore coverage should be considered significant. Cjmclark ^(Contact) 16:34, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meh...after reading through the archives on what constitutes a "major award," (that whole section really should be worded better, by the way) I suppose I won't fight this one. He'll be back in a season or so. Cjmclark ^(Contact) 22:02, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Top scoring right winger is not a major award. If it were the top scoring player period then maybe. However when it comes to scoring feets NHOCKEY requires the player to be in the top 10 scoring ever in the league for junior players. As for the coverage, its routine coverage of a local player. He might be notable in the future but he isn't yet. -DJSasso (talk) 18:00, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Beyond the above, WP:NHOCKEY has recently been adjusted to eliminate "major awards" from the criteria. As such, there are no criteria under which Beck can remotely be considered as having met. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 15:13, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
