 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Violates the general criteria of WP:NOTDATABASE due to being an article that replicates a database entry. In addition, it fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT.

Previously nominated in a group nomination which was closed as no consensus on procedural grounds. BilledMammal (talk) 05:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete no sources that would demonstrate a passing of GNG have been presented. Wikipedia articles need such sourcing to justify their existence.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Article needs expanding and not deletion. There is a reason why he was called up for international duty. Govvy (talk) 14:28, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I found this source which shows he is/was notable in Denmark. Also, having been a Denmark international and a Danish top flight player during the 1930s-40s, there are definitely offline sources about him. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:32, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Das osmenzz. GiantSnowman 18:54, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete one article (obituary) does not satisfy GNG criteria which requires multiple independent reliable sources that have significant coverage. The other two sources are databases and do not qualify as significant coverage. Especially, worldfootball.net, which is no way a reliable source and trivial coverage. Both of these are user generated databases which fails sourcing criteria on Wikipedia. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
