Contested PROD with the wording: "this player played in two national cup finals (the equivalent of the FA Cup!) and made several top tier appearances; surely this should not be deleted without at least a discussion". Cup final appearances is not the metric we use for notability and is therefore irrelevant - article fails on WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 13:45, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't meet NFOOTBALL and no evidence he meets GNG either. If coverage is out there please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He played a lot of matches for Norway's top teams, the two cup finals are not a fluke but more of crowning of his career, given that both teams are nowhere near as sucessful nowadays. Abcmaxx (talk) 03:16, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per my comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jan Berg (footballer, born 1943) Mentoz (talk) 03:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - has coverage here, here, here and here. Good enough for me. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - keep per Spiderone. I doubt that the nominator conducted WP:BEFORE or if they did, they clearly didn't look for sources from the time. The fact that the nominator PRODded this first concerns me as I thought it was only for uncontroversial deletions (and that is before we touch upon the subject of PRODding FA Cup winners, which all seems rather POINTy).
