Contested PROD, by the author Theprestige82 (talk · contribs) with no rationale given. The article is a possible hoax but was declined as speedy G3. Nevertheless the player has not made his first team debut therefore fails WP:NFOOTBALL & has not received significant media coverage & also fails WP:GNG. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 11:28, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as admin who contested the speedy (not a blatant hoax) - definitely non-notable, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 11:40, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If it's not a hoax then it fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Mattythewhite (talk) 11:48, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as a Norwegian, I have really tried to find out if this is a hoax or not. According to the list at the bottom of this article, Eirik Mortensen was not one of 75 Norwegian footballers below 22 years playing abroad (including amateur level) per February 2012. This article from a random Norwegian localpaper from March 2011, tells me that there had been a Eirik Mortensen in Japan from September 2010 till that date, but nothing about him playing football.

Delete Looks suspiciously like a hoax to me, but in any case it fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. --sparkl_!sm ^hey! 19:37, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
