PROD removed. I think this was the closest he got to being notable  Spiderone  08:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Playing in a match between two part-time teams in the first round of a lowly European comp isn't enough. GiantSnowman 10:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Professional player. Does not fail WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. --SM (talk) 13:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * But he does though! - he hasn't played in a fully-pro league, and he hasn't reveived significant coverage! GiantSnowman 15:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, looks like he is someone "who ha[s] competed at the fully professional level of a sport". Nyttend (talk) 20:53, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment- You're confusing "highest level" with "professional football". The Veikkausliiga isn't fully pro. Spiderone  08:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete If he would of played in that European game he would of effectively passed level 2 WP:Athlete. By competing in the Toto Cup that is the highest level you can reach in armature football. However he failed to compete so fails that. Notability aside, no citations means no notability. Govvy (talk) 10:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - No citations is a reason to clean up the article, not to delete it. The inter toto cup was not an amateur competition.DavidDublin (talk) 12:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Playing at a fully professional level. WP:ATH does not require every team/player in the league he competes to be fully pro. DavidDublin (talk) 12:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
