Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that the article would have to be recreated in a few months, which is speculation in violation of WP:CRYSTAL and never grounds for inclusion.

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 06:01, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Christensen - he hasn't played a competetive match, but passes WP:GNG for being a talented footballer. My first 10 results in google when searching for "Anders Christensen Chelsea" included this detailed article] from Berlingske Tidende. In addition to the third citation in the article it should be enough for GNG. I believe there is a lot of more coverage out there, but I didn't do a very gopd job looking, as Scandinavian talents that are signed with the European top clubs tend to get a lot of coverage in the press in their homecountry.

Delete - Per nom. All Google searches I found seemed to revolve around him being signed, or winning such and suches award for this or that. Not sure how reliable BT is, however one website writing a story even if they're 100% reliable is not grounds for notability for a player that has not played a match yet at the pro level.

Delete - doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines. – Michael (talk) 20:36, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep article - By deleting it, somebody will just have to recreate it in 1-12 months time, when he'll have had made his league debut. So for the sake of convenience, the article should stay. Dddmortenbbb (talk) 12:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If and when they make their respective debuts, the articles can be restored at the click of button. Saying that they will be notable in the future is never grounds for inclusion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:24, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We've been having arguments like this a hundred times now with people saying "this player will make his debut soon". Which as we know violates WP:CRYSTAL. – Michael (talk) 23:25, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. Coverage in press about Christensen seems mainly about potential talent. This is essentially subjective speculation on the part of the authors of the articles, there doesn't seem to be much actual content beyond the usual "talented youngster signs for big club's academy". Hojbjerg is a straight WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG failure. Fenix down (talk) 11:24, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both - fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. What coverage there is of Christensen is arguable BLP1E i.e. 'Danish youngster signs for Major club' and isn't enough to show notability. Giant Snowman 09:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
