Page is unsourced and the noteability of the subject is questionable. Unsourced information on the page appears to be incorrect, as well (article states subject was born in 1984 yet it is part of "1986 births" category). StarHOG (talk) 17:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - A couple things about this article. The article met both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL until the previous two edits that were made prior to your AfD tags ruined it.  Rather than nominating the page for deletion, I would've reverted both edits.  But this page needs cleaning and restoring, but not deleting. – Michael (talk) 04:51, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. I didn't see that information. I added it back in to the article to see if ti improves it. Thanks StarHOG (talk) 20:20, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete – no reliable sources establish a level of notability sufficient for the general notability guideline. The only references are primary sources, which cannot be used to establish notability. Regarding the football-specific guidelines, the article claims he played for ROPS in the Finnish top flight, however this appears to be a false claim, as the club's web page on him says it was the second division, which would indicate he fails WP:NFOOTY too.

 * Delete - no evidence from a RS that he meets NFOOTBALL, also fails GNG. GiantSnowman 10:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - sources have now been found to verify the claim he has played in a FPL, therefore he meets NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - unless reliable sources can be provided to show he played in a fully professional league. Fenix down (talk) 12:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - sources now indicate WP:NFOOTY pass. Needs further work to establish GNG. Fenix down (talk) 13:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * 'Keep' - Jon Burklo played the 2008 season for Wilmington Hammerheads - where he was listed as "Jonathan Burklo" . There are several match reports and media reports of various games that season, listing a "John Burklo" as playing defence; some examples are  .  Wilmington plays in USL Pro previously called USL Division 2, which were both the 3rd Tier of US Football and are fully professional, and listed as such at WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues.  He meets WP:FOOTYN and WP:NSPORT. Nfitz (talk) 05:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Given that Mr. Burklo has played in the fully pro USL Division 2, the article meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Sir Sputnik (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
