Lauri Dalla Valle

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD, 16-year-old player who is part of Liverpool youth system. The PROD was contested under the claim he played with JIPPO (a Finnish second division team I strongly doubt to be fully professional), and extensive media coverage (despite the fact many of the given sources come from a Wordpress blog, and others does not cover solely the player in detail, as it is requested by WP:N).

 * Keep as the article's creator - sources given say he has played for JIPPO, he has an entry on the Finnish wikipedia which, although I don't speak Finnish, mention appearances in the "Suomen Nike Premierin" and the "Pohjola Cupin". He has many mentions in the media from non-blogs - Helsingin Sanomat, Karjalainen, Plaza, Ilta-Sanomat and MTV3 (all which appear to be Finnish newspapers), as well as the Times in England.

 * And he also has an entry on the Swedish wikipedia. GiantSnowman (talk) 12:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. No evidence that JIPPO is a professional club. The fact that there are entries on other wikis is not a reason for keeping. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  12:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment and what about the multiple, reliable third-party sources? GiantSnowman (talk) 12:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Quite clearly passes WP:BIO through having multiple independent reliable sources. Even if he hasn't played in those competitions failing WP:BIO doesn't matter if the basic criteria are met. John Hayestalk 13:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment the three HS sources share the same date (8 dec 2007), and they were part of the same report, so they must be considered as a single source. All the other sources cover simply his signing from Liverpool. I don't know why, but this case reminds me of Rhain Davis, who was deleted despite the "sources". Being featured in the news is not enough to establish notability. --Angelo (talk) 18:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that JIPPO are fully-professional, no appearances for Liverpool. Fails WP:FOOTY/Notability English   peasant  01:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable sportsman by any stretch of the imagination. Fails WP:Athlete --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
