 * Weak keep Weak delete Keep - played (one game, on loan) for BK Häcken (in 2011) in the Allsvenskan (First Division) which is in the list of fully professional leagues so by the letter of WP:NFOOTY, the subject passes. But every other appearance has been for Kärra KIF which is in the (non-professional) Fourth Division or the Swedish Under-17s or Under-19s. So if people want to cite WP:NFOOTY and the consensus is that one game while on loan isn't enough, I certainly won't object. Stalwart 111  (talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Suggestion - I suggest that we merge him in with Kärra KIF and add him as a notable player with a comment that he played on loan for BK Häcken. Although, the notability of Karra KIF might be in question too.ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - yes he technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to 31 minutes of professional play over a year ago - but WP:GNG is more important, and he does not meet that, with no indication he ever will. I also disagree with merging him into his current team - there is another non-notable player by the same name and the merge might cause some confusion. GiantSnowman 16:47, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, that other player by the same name looks to have played for Lindome GIF for two seasons (2008 and 2009 - scoring a goal in each season) while they were in the first division. So it's arguable that 'your' Robin Eriksson would meet WP:NFOOTY to a greater extent than the Robin Eriksson in question. Bizarre! Your argument about GNG is, nonetheless, convincing and I have changed my opinion above. Cheers, Stalwart 111  (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - article has been improved massively, enough to satisfy GNG. GiantSnowman 11:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, changed again. Ha ha. Stalwart 111  (talk) 21:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. I've found enough independent non-trivial coverage of Mr Eriksson to incorporate into the beginnings of an article, certainly enough to indicate the likelihood of the subject meeting WP:GNG, even if the article itself doesn't, yet. As he does pass WP:NFOOTBALL, I'd presume that's enough to justify a keep. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:33, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL and certainly passes WP:GNG, job's a good 'un ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Impressive work Struway2. Passes both WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. --Mentoz86 (talk) 18:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Mentoz86. The article has been improved enough and notability validated. Thanks for your hard work.
