Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Alavie
The criteria at  unfairly exclude a lot of otherwise notable amateur and minor-league players, but I don't see a reason to consider this player as notable. The article makes two specific claims for notability apart from his work as a player: "He received an award from the Ontario Government and has been on Toronto radio stations." I can't find a reference to him on the Ontario government's web sites doing a search for '''Alavie site:ontario.ca''' or '''Alavie site:gov.on.ca'''. Being interviewed on a radio station, even more than once, is probably not enough to establish notability in this case either. He is mentioned in newspaper stories such as http://www.thebramptonguardian.com/sports/article/76952 this one, and in databases such as http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/stats/player.php?id=4796 the Ontario Hockey League's and http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=104582 HockeyDB but that's not enough to establish notability
