 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. As I noted above, it looks like there is some sourcing, but there is little here to confirm what it says and whether it is sufficiently significant. Whilst the rationales underpinning the keep votes are week, I am not seeing a clear consensus to delete here. Fenix down (talk) 11:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Jan Tore Amundsen (footballer, born 1968)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed PROD with the wording "meets NFOOTY, pro games". This is a factual error, article fails WP:NFOOTY as this player's handful of game in the top men's division of Norwegian football took place well before the league was 'fully professional'. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of non-routine coverage. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 18:33, 14 February 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: An attempt has been made to provide more sources to support gng. The fact they are offline is of no consequence but I think there needs to be more description as to what they contain. From the article, it looks like routine transfer talk, but it's not clear. Difficult to close as a keep on that basis, would be good if contributing editors could provide a bit more information on the source.
 * Delete - I searched but could not find any detailed coverage in Norwegian newspapers about this particular Jan Tore Amundsen Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lyn was clearly one of the strongest Norwegian football clubs in the early 1990s, and Amundsen played several games for that team. Coverage of footballers who were active in the 1980s and 1990s are a bit hard to find online, but a look in the newspaper archives of the National Library turned up some results. In particular, I have made some expansions to the article after finding content in Romerikes blad that have covered his achievements. Sjakkalle (Check!)  19:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment The articles I found are from the newspaper archives that the National Library provides to all Norwegian IP-addresses. However, not all newspapers are available outside of the libraries. Romerikes blad is one of the newspapers freely available. The coverage is sports news, in particular I found a post-game report of a quarter-final where Amundsen scored three goals, and a pre-game report of a match between LSK and Lyn where some coverage of ex-LSK players who had transferred to Lyn was given. I have avoided the routine coverage such as the line-up of a particular game, but coverage of a player in the body of an article is "significant coverage". The coverage of Amundsen during the 1980s and 1990s is on par with the coverage of individual Norwegian Premier League players today. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
