Deletion of List of oldest NHL players

Comment: per #IINFO. A very trivial intersection of age by occupation.  I wouldn't even consider this notable if it focused on the oldest ''playing'' players

Comment: Being the oldest surviving player (and hence also listing previous now dead candidates for comparison) is in fact often the only notable thing any source ever comes up with for a hockey player, even for someone who played 490 league games, see http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2048340 this obituary for example. The nomination reason is totally weak, and was disproveable with a 5 second google search, and it thus strikes me as a speculative nomination from someone who just doesn't like the article, or doesn't need it, or otherwise has no interest in it, a.k.a on of the numerous |arguments to avoid. It is not inherently unverifiable, nothing based on simple facts such as d.o.b. ever is. I haven't looked into it, but if this nomination is the result of a dispute elsewhere in another sport, it should be thrown out on sheer principle

Comment: Very well written article?"  Err, it's pretty much crap.  The "Unknown" section is a laughfest in of itself, with two people on it older than any verified human ever to live.  Beats me where the main section draws its information, but ''Total Hockey'' reports the 2nd through the 10th players as being deceased; this is leaving aside readily researchable tidbits such as the listing for Hobie Kitchen (3rd on the list), where the last reported sighting of him was as a wino on the streets of New York in 1934.  The article completely lacks any references at all, and this falls under the category of an article so flawed that the only thing to do is delete it and start from scratch, with an eye towards a more exacting title (such as List of oldest living NHL players) and thorough verification through |reliable sources

Comment: for many reasons, the most pertinent being that it's |original research. Unlike the MLB list, which at least started off having a source for the oldest living players, there is no such list for NHL players except for a rough estimate on the hockeydb.com forums, which of course is not a |reliable source. Also, as has been pointed out, this list is very very inaccurate. I've compiled a more accurate list at
