~~Fails WP:NFOOTBALL~~

~~The article provides no evidence that the player has appeared in a professional league. Reckless182 (talk) 14:04, 25 July 2014 (UTC)~~[reply]

As the initiator of this deletion discussion I wish to withdraw the nomination as it has now been made clear that the article meets the criteria for WP:NFOOTBALL. --Reckless182 (talk) 09:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:40, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 16:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Player does pass NFOOTY, apologies for stating otherwise earlier. Needs to be improved to show GNG, but as per current consensus, young players who have played in a FPL are deemed notable regardless of the number of games played. Fenix down (talk) 07:19, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He isn't deemed notable as he hasn't played in a fully professional league nor has he any international caps. IJA (talk) 10:24, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 09:06, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - now meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 09:14, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - did play in the Eerste divisie [1] Agora (talk) 15:20, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Relisting comment: The last commenter makes a sourced assertion that, in view of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, would seem on its face to back a claim of NFOOTY, I'd like to at least a little concurring or dissenting opinion on that before closing this. --j⚛e decker ^talk 15:53, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The second division in the Netherlands appears to be professional even though yes those appearances are for a reserve side Seasider91 (talk) 16:21, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per everyone above - Fails GNG + NFOOTY. –Davey2010 • (talk) 21:39, 2 August 2014

Keep as now passes WP:NFOOTY. –Davey2010 • (talk) 14:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't understand why the Delete !votes all indicate that Jakobsen hasn't played in a fully-pro league, when he had played in the Eerste Divisie (listed as fully-pro at WP:FPL) - even scoring a goal in his debut. I'm not sure the article could satisfy the GNG, but if we follow the herd and !vote based on NFOOTBALL, it should be a clear consensus for keep. Jogurney (talk) 03:56, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Played in a professional league. --Threeohsix (talk) 22:50, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
