Hörður Magnússon

Contested PROD. Concern was: Fails notabilty, has not yet played at level to qualify for Wikipedia article, Juventas Primavera is under-20 developmental team. To explain contesting this was posted on the talk page:

I really cannot understand why this article should be deleted. Hörður is a professional footballer who now plays on loan for Juventus' Primavera team but he is a regular international footballer for Iceland's younger teams and he has played games for his hometown team in the top league in Iceland. He has been closely followed by teams such as Stabæk, Everton, Sunderland, AZ Alkmaar, Lyon, Juventus and I could go on. I propose these guidelines you have for page deletion be changed, please! --Benni1972 (talk) 19:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

To reiterate (from your guidelines): "To be clear, football (soccer) athletes are not eligible for a Wikipedia page until they have done one of: --Benni1972 (talk) 19:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * had an on-field appearance for their adult national team
 * had an on-field appearance for an adult professional team competing in the highest league in their nation

This is not sufficient for notability. WP:NSPORT explicitly states that youth international caps do not confer notability, and that to achieve notability a player must play in a fully professional league, not a national top league. The Icelandic first division is not fully pro. Sir Sputnik (talk) 05:14, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * However, the deleted content is significantly different from what was deleted both times before, so it's not G4-eligible. Nyttend (talk) 13:01, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I've no idea where Benni1972 is getting his "guidelines" from, because this guy quite clearly fails WP:NFTOOTBALL, as well as WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 12:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - The closest this player has come to meeting guidelines is his 6 appearances for Fram, which is in a top national league, but not a fully professional one. Therefore, he fails our sports notability threshold at this time. If the previous name Hörður Björgvin Magnússon was salted, then this name should be too. Studerby (talk) 19:02, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

OK lads keep your guidelines and do what you want to do. I'll delete my uploaded pictures and won't ever write on here again. F**k off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benni1972 (talk • contribs) 00:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It appears we have a cyber-flounce. I haven't seen one of them for a while. Anyway, he fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Recreate if he makes an appearance in a fully professional league or plays in a senior international match. Argyle 4 Life  talk  16:57, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
