PROD contested by article creator. This article is about a young player who has not received significant coverage (failing WP:GNG) and who has not played in a fully-professional league (failing WP:NFOOTBALL). Giant Snowman 18:06, 9 February 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) 18:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate - fails WP:NFOOTY but will likely only fail that standard for less than a fortnight. His club play their first Liga game on 23 February and if he takes the field in a full-professional Danish Superliga game he'll pass. He doesn't yet and he might get hit by a bus between now and then (which would likely generate enough coverage for him to pass WP:GNG) but if this goes the full 7 days then we'll likely be deleting an article within a week of the subject meeting our inclusion criteria.

Delete Not notable and Wikipedia is not a WP:XBALL. Mrfrobinson (talk) 03:03, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a waste of people's time. Even if it does technically meet the delete criteria for a few more weeks, it will be recreated when they become notable. Why not simply keep a tally of such articles when you come across them, and check them a few weeks later to see if they should be deleted or not. Nfitz (talk) 03:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from being an invalid argument per WP:CRYSTAL, the claim that he will probably make his debut in a few weeks is simply false. He is Brøndby's third or fourth choice goalkeeper, meaning the likelihood of him make his debut any time soon practically zero. Sir Sputnik (talk) 05:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom, noting NFitz's continuing desire to avoid dealing with CRYSTAL in AfDs and his comment to be nonsensical, essentially saying "I accept this players currently not notable, but lets keep the article for an indeterminate period of time to see if he continues to not be notable".

All you guys fail :D He plays at Brøndby IF and that's not just a local club. It's not such a famous danish football club but Brøndby IF is a "name", if you know what i mean ^^ KEEP --Saviour1981 (talk) 19:54, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The issue isn't the club. The issue is that he's never actually played for them ... yet. Ergo some editors feel it's absolutely necessary to delete the article, let someone recreate it in a few weeks, and then go to the trouble of merging the edit histories of two different pages. Nfitz (talk) 05:02, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as we would have literally thousands of articles about people who have not played at a professional level if the guidelines permitted articles on the basis that a player might play at that level in some indeterminate future period. All professional clubs that I know of operate at least one (if not several) youth team(s) full of such players. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment' That's just not true. There's a difference between a player who has now signed with a fully-professional team, and is expected to play as soon as the season resumes, and an academy player. In one case it's hit and miss whether they play or not every. In the other, there's a 99% or so chance we'll be undeleting the article within weeks. We need to apply WP:COMMONSENSE. Nfitz (talk) 01:39, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He's the fourth choice keeper, there is no indication whatsoever that he will be playing in the next few weeks! Fenix down (talk) 08:54, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. – Michael (talk) 03:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
