 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep first of all, this is an unreferenced BLP, so I would not have objected to a speedy or PROD on that basis. But since it's here, I see that the Swedish language Wikipedia article does have a one or two working references to reliable sources (easily readable via Google Translation). Moreover, while the sport of bandy hasn't mentioned on the policy page, it's close enough ice hockey that I feel like WP:NHOCKEY offers some guidance, and this person's participation at the World Cup level would help establish notability. Finally, articles like this or this took all of a split-second to find via Gnews, so I can only wonder at the utter laziness of those offering cookie cutter rationales such as 'nothing yet suggesting the necessary notability improvements,' when it takes virtually no effort at all to find them.

 * Keep as again, Shawn in Montreal's evidence confirms notability. SwisterTwister, please look up sources and do not just vote "Delete", as you vote delete 95% of the time, normally with a similar rationale. Please actually think about the article and the notability requirements before deciding. ThePlatypusofDoom  (Talk) 13:48, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep In addition to above, worth note that WP:SPORTS states "sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)." Since Bandy isn't in the Olympics, its world championships would be considered the highest level.  While some argue that this means the Olympics only and World Championships do not rise to that level, this was some a bench-warmer, but the guy that scored the championship winning goal.  Also, per the article about Bandy, it is the second most popular winter sport - even if this is a skewed perspective, this is not as if this is some obscure sports championships.  In view of what is already found and the contextual factors, keep. RonSigPi (talk) 15:23, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
