Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brett Ritchie
Second round draft pick of the Dallas Stars in this past June's draft (might have been first round if he didn't get mono) and also per Dolovis; I would have brought up the notability coverage myself if he hadn't.  Further, I JUST had the article undeleted so I could look at it for the first time and you ''immediately'' put it back up for deletion before I can even work on it, suggesting a bad faith AfD nom. after I noted in my edit comment YESTERDAY I wanted to work on it first before an AfD was done; give a guy a chance here, would ya?  (All right, it went to AfD before my edit comment, that was my misread.)  He has participated in international competitions as well, in fact he had to play his teammate Nail Yakupov for the bronze medal in the IIHF (Yakupov's Russian team won); if I'm not mistaken, U18 teams qualify for inclusion themselves, but even if not,  is satisfied and trumps
