Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalton Thrower
Perhaps because he was expected by some at least to be a 1st round pick, he has racked up significant coverage, enough in my opinion to meet , e.g., http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/44470-Thrower-one-to-watch.html The Hockey News, http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=634171&print=true NHL.com, http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/First+round+hopeful+draws+strength+from+family/6804508/story.html Vancouver Sun (and others), http://www.squamishchief.com/article/20120614/SQUAMISH0201/306149966/-1/squamish/thrower-ready-for-nhl-draft Squamish Chief (ok, that's pretty local so doesn't count for a lot), http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhockey-buzzing-the-net/canadiens-pick-dalton-thrower-grateful-much-more-hockey-185756605.html Yahoo!, http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Draft/2012/06/23/19913291-qmi.html Canoe, http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/47829-International-Scouting-Services-Best-2012-draft-picks-by-round.html a more minor item from Hockey News.  Some of this coverage is from the draft, but more than many draftees get, while much of the coverage precedes the draft
