Comment: I'm not registering a formal vote to avoid any notion of canvassing, because Yosemiter asked me to take a look in on these sources, stating that he'd withdraw the AfD if I agreed they were good sources.  Nonetheless, I'd really like people to take a look at them again, because they're almost embarrassingly '''bad''' sources.  The GNG requires that a subject receive "'''significant coverage'''" (emphasis in the original), and  holds that they not involve routine sports coverage.  So let's look at the ones mentioned in this AfD.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/ice_hockey/7606699.stm is pretty pathetically short; the "article" is all of 86 words long, including the photo caption, half of which is a quote from the subject.The ''Mirror'' cite http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/ice-hockey-its-so-easy-for-jonathan-302139: "Skipper Jonathan Phillips has signed a new deal at Sheffield three days after leading them to the Elite League play-off crown. The GB star is the first of the Steelers' trophy winning squad to commit to next season. Phillips said: "It was the easiest decision of my life coming back."" is the entire damn thing.http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/ice-hockey-sheffield-steelers-jonathan-phillips-to-lead-great-britain-in-world-championships-1-7858017 is a likewise fleeting piece that mentions the subject as having been named with two other players to be captains.Even if the ''Yorkshire Post'' cite wasn't another embarrassingly short one at 58 words, it identifies the subject as an online columnist for the paper, completely debarring the ''Post'' as an independent source supporting the subject's notability.http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/sheffield-steelers/sheffield-steelers-welcome-the-chance-of-playing-nhl-pedigree-opposition-1-8679862 consists solely of quotes ''from'' the subject, which cannot be used to bolster the notability ''of'' the subject.http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/sheffield-steelers/can-anyone-challenge-the-skipper-in-fitness-terms-at-sheffield-steelers-boot-camp-1-8686805 is the closest of the six to a reliable source, at least if it wasn't all again quotes from the subject and was a very short piece, but at least it's nominally ''about'' the subject.Nothing I've seen so far, however, is what I'd call a GNG-qualifying cite, and that's a problem.  If there were thirty more sources of such poor quality, I wouldn't be moved; 0+0+0+0+0 still equals zero
