Uher has not met notability standards of WP:NHOCKEY (hockey project) or WP:GNG (general notability). ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 19:01, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – Found some articles on Google News mentioning him in game and draft recaps, but what I saw didn't establish that he meets WP:GNG or WP:NSPORTS. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:05, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Being drafted by an NHL team should imply notability. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ice hockey Ordoinc (talk) Ordoinc (talk) 07:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - No. Only first-rounders are likely to have notability. Lower-rounders are much less likely (like 5% chance) to achieve notability. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 14:07, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't go around making up ridiculous statistics. A recent study has found that 19% of drafted players go on to play over 200 NHL games.[1] For a player to play in just a single NHL game, or to otherwise meet one of the criteria of WP:NHOCKEY, is much higher. One need to only look at the evidence from past drafts (for example, the 2005 NHL Entry Draft where only 42 red lines remain from 230 drafted players, so 82% have achieved notability).

- Maybe my 'like' number is off, but by consensus we agreed in the project that we were only sure of first-rounders being notable. Lower than that does not satisfy NHOCKEY. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 04:11, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that the point is that only 1st rounders have automatic immediate Wikipedia notability by virtue of being drafted. Some of the other draftees have notability as well - through playing in European pro leagues, winning major awards or by satisfying WP:GNG. And many more will become notable under Wikipedia guidelines eventually - by playing in the NHL or a European pro league or the WJC, by playing 100 AHL games, by winning a major award, etc. But at this point we do not know who those will be. And as of now, I don't think this player has attained notability under Wikipedia's guidelines. One day he may. But I don't think he has yet. Rlendog (talk) 16:53, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete regardless of what % of drafted players play in the NHL, Uher has not done anything that appears to meet WP:NHOCKEY or WP:GNG. RonSigPi (talk) 18:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and enough speculation I'm surprised to see so much (repeated) discussion of whether this player will become notable or not, but it can stop right now. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball about the notability of players. Finally, the subject doesn't fulfill notability for amateur players, hockey players, and doesn't fulfill WP:GNG.
