Footballer who fails WP:ATHLETE as he has never played a game in a fully pro league. Was originally prodded, but removed without explanation by the article's creator. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  22:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Might fail WP:ATHLETE but passes WP:BIO. There are numerous recent news articles about him - - 17 in the last month alone. Nfitz (talk) 09:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Shaky keep Keep . He may have never "competed in a fully professional league", but he played in the second Swedish league, which I count as "highest level in amateur sports", so he passes WP:ATHLETE. --Amalthea (talk) 13:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Swedish football is not amateur, so that part of WP:ATHLETE does not apply. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  13:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I misunderstood what is meant by "amateure sports". After reading up on it, I saw that the second league consists of both professional and semi-professional teams. In my eyes that still a "fully professional league", but I'm not sure about that. He generates quite a lot of google hits, and there is coverage in reliable sources    . I don't know if it's significant: He made a couple of headlines, but all of those are apparently minor newspapers. --Amalthea (talk) 15:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not really a notable subject, does not meet WP:ATHLETE and those news articles do not establish notability, they are not covering the subject in detail and many of them actually come from a common publisher, "Folkbladet". --Angelo (talk) 08:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite the numerous news articles, he still fails WP:ATHLETE, and to me that's what matters. IceUnshattered (talk) 21:37, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
