Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of oldest NHL players
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
