Wayne's Brother

[edit]

The only reason this article exists? Keith GRETZKY. If he were Keith 'Doe', his minor league career & current NHL scout position on a weak team (his name has never been on the Stanley Cup), wouldn't warrant an article (See WPH, concerning criteria for NHL bio articles).

He's not just a regular scout, he's the Coyotes director of amateur scouting. Besides that he qualifies having "Played three or more seasons in a fully professional minor league such as the American Hockey League, the International Hockey League, the ECHL, the Mestis, the HockeyAllsvenskan or other such league." Keith played a number of seasons in the IHL, ECHL and AHL, along with the what was at the time a Finnish Division 1 team (Kettera Imatra). Obviously being part of the Gretzky family, and being the second brother after Wayne to be of the age to play in the NHL increases his notability considerably - making sources of information easy to find and allowing him to be included under the criteria outlined on WP:BIO as well. --Yankees76 18:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I still suspect a double standard when it comes to the Gretzky family (however that's just my PoV). As my opinon is probably in the minority, the issue is moot (see Paulina Gretzky article, I've raised concerns there aswell). GoodDay 18:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're correct, Keith does qualify on his own. The new guidelines have been added to WPP. GoodDay 19:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
