Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John McFarland (ice hockey)
Okay, let me get this straight: Brock Nelson, a high school hockey player who has won no awards and has competed in no international tournaments, and who no one has heard about,  is notable because  he was picked 30th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft; but John McFarland, who is an OHL star player, who was picked 1st overall in the OHL draft, and has won the Jack Ferguson Award, and who was named the tournament's most valuable player at the 2008 OHL Showcase tournament, and who is now playing in the World Junior hockey Tournament (which is shown live on TV in over 30 countries), and who anyone who is a hockey fan has probably heard of,  is not notable because he was picked 33rd in the 2010 draft? Give your head a shake.  I'll find 20 reliable and significant sources to demonstrate he passes  if I have too, but that should not be necessary because he already passes  (#4). If you don't like NHOCKEY then open a discussion to change it, but as it reads now this article is a pass
