Contested prod. Bjørn Ingvar Kydland plays in the Norwegian First Division. This is the second tier in Norway, and is not a fully professional league. Fails WP:ATHLETE. No other significant coverage that fulfills WP:BIO. Rettetast (talk) 21:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I assumed being a first division team that footballers would automatically be professional and of note. Things must be a lot different in the UK than in Norway.  Dr. Blofeld       White cat 14:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence that he has played in a fully professional league. The Norwegian First Division (which is the second tier) is not a fully professional league, many players have other day jobs, in some teams 100% of the players have other jobs besides football.

 * Keep.  Has extensive media coverage  and thus meets WP:N which trumps WP:ATHLETE. Nfitz (talk) 03:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless you can find a reliable source from that Google search about his playing exploits, then it might pass general notability - listing a Google news search doesn't prove anything. Until then, he still fails WP:ATHLETE and general notability criteria as well. --Jimbo[online] 10:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Professional player in professional club, satisfies WP:ATHLETE. Extensive media coverage, here's a couple of examples of articles about the individual player in large, reliable sources:, Lampman (talk) 15:20, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Those roughly translate into match reports where he gets a name check rather than an article specifically about himself, hardly enough to pass WP:N. --Jimbo[online] 08:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's just patently wrong, in both those articles he's the subject of the headlines. Lampman (talk) 21:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A headline in a newspaper doesn't make a player notable. --Jimbo[online] 21:58, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:ATHLETE. Trivial mentions in reliable sources, no significant coverage. لenna  vecia  17:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
