• Keep, player is competing in a notable, professional league Eldumpo (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete footballer fails notability for sportspeople at WP:ATHLETE as he has never played in a fully-professional league/competition as the Veikkausliiga is only party-pro. --Jimbo^[online] 22:25, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • all of the clubs pay their players and the league is also listed at List of professional sports leagues Eldumpo (talk) 23:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's a poorly maintained list, the one collated by WP:FOOTY members can be found at WP:FPL. Anyway the Veikkausliiga article says that it's not fully-professional. Players being paid doesn't make them professional, only semi-professional. --Jimbo^[online] 23:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm well aware of FPL, see my talk page questions there, but it is a Wiki only article and as far as I can tell none of the leagues are correctly sourced as per the page's definition (which is anyway not as ATH). Eldumpo (talk) 10:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • There is at least one semi-pro team in the Finnish league - which is IFK Mariehamn [1][2]. --Angelo (talk) 10:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE as he has yet to play at a fully professional level, and I can find no indication of general notability. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 10:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:ATHLETE and no evidence of general notability. – Toon 21:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
