Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sven Bärtschi
The article may be premature, but deletion now would be as well given that we'll know shortly if he won his league's ROY award, which would likely establish notability under .  And that said, I am not sure he doesn't meet  right now.  His status as a top draft prospect has generated coverage at http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=541874 nhl.com (which is an independent source at least until he actually is drafted) and at http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/blog?name=nhl_draft&id=5987951&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnhl%2fblog%3fname%3dnhl_draft%26id%3d5987951 espn.com (although the coverage may be skimpy; I don't intend to pay to get past the paywall).  There is also at least one story about him in the http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/story.php?story_id=128595836155045000 Portland Tribune.  And there was a short story in the http://www.oregonlive.com/hawks/index.ssf/2010/08/winterhawks_sign_sven_bartschi.html Oregonian about his signing with the Winterhawks (that might be considered routine if the Oregonian routinely publishes stories on every player the Winterhawks sign, but that doesn't seem likely).  There may be more non-routine coverage as well, but he has a considerable amount of routine coverage right now, which makes it difficult to sift through to pick out non-routine coverage
