 * Keep This person meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in many reliable sources. Nominator needs to desist disruptive nominations for deletion without a significant effort at WP:BEFORE. This is a Swedish sport, and even the most cursory query of Dagens Nyheter for his name plus Bandy brings up many articles. I haven't tried Moscow papers or other Russian newspapers, which would be logical since he plays in that country, which should bring up more. Sources need not be in English to be WP:RS The nominator seems to believe that because he's not familiar with Bandy it should be purged from the encyclopedia.Jacona (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to be enough sources to sustain WP:GNG.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  06:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep weak nom statement that indicates failure to do WP:BEFORE and lack of familiarity with the subject. These reckless nominations really need to stop soon, or a topic ban will be pursued. Lepricavark (talk) 16:46, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment After starting a bevy of spurious AfD's among Philippines Basketball Association related articles, the nominator proceeded to start a group of AfDs on the sport of Bandy, also apparently giving no heed to WP:BEFORE. The articles include: Articles for deletion/Daniel Liw,Articles for deletion/Ulf Einarsson,Articles for deletion/Kevin Brown (bandy) and a prod, Rules and Referee Committee, (possibly the only reasonable of these). I'm adding these links so these can be considered together.Jacona (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete a few mentions in club websites is not enough to show notability. Articles rise or fall on the merits of the coverage of the individual. Not all people who play bandy are notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:21, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Several non-trivial mentions in WP:RS (newspapers, tv, radio). Calling that "a few club websites" show a lack of search skills, or indifference to the subject. Has played in the pro league Russian Bandy Super League and in the Swedish national bandy team. Sjö (talk) 11:35, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Substandard nomination. If you cannot even be bothered to make an argument for why something or somebody is non-notable, you have no right to expect other people to take your nomination seriously. --Hegvald (talk) 13:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and take nom to ANI. He's been doing this for several months, at least. He never does WP:BEFORE. Enough is enough and it's time to escalate this. Smartyllama (talk) 19:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
