I had previously BLP Proded this article. That Prod was removed without any references added. As such this article violates WP:BLP also the team he plays for is a red link, as I am not to familiar with Football association teams this article may also not meet WP:NFOOTY and the only club reference I found on a google search is not in english for me to determine.

Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTY, I also cannot find any reliable sources relating to this player. doomgaze (talk) 16:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article claims that "He is widely considered to be Finland's greatest talent of all time", but I couldn't find any mentions at all when searching Finnish news sources. Probably a hoax, but certainly not notable. Asilv (talk) 20:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence he played at level required for NFOOTBALL notability, no in-depth coverage. Not entirely convinced he played U-19, (was added to WP article on U-19 side by IP, but unsupported by any evidence). Club he appears to play for seems to be low level amateur.--ClubOranje^T 10:51, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - quite easily fails both WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 15:18, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I note that the BLPPROD has been re-added to the article whilst this AFD is running; per WP:DEL "Deletion discussion trumps proposed deletion, so for a page listed on both, the former takes precedence" it should be removed as a redundant notice. Fæ (talk) 07:10, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NO, it is not redundant and should not have been removed in the first place. Per policy, "...the BLP deletion template may be removed only after the biography contains a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article." which it currently doesn't. Also, per Wikipedia:BLPPROD#Relationship_with_other_policies_and_processes part 1, "the proposed deletion tag should be left in place in case the speedy deletion is rejected", the same should apply to AfD tags "in case the AfD is unsuccessful". (raised at WT:BLPPROD) If this article is kept after 7 days it should still be deleted under WP:BLPPROD policy 3 days later.--ClubOranje^T 07:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you point to where the first quote you made comes from, I'm assuming it is not from DEL? Your second point appears to extend the policy beyond what it actually says, which is limited to the relationship to speedies rather than AFD. Thanks Fæ (talk) 08:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people for the first quote. Yes, my second point extends beyond... that is the point; it should extend beyond (in my opinion).--ClubOranje^T 09:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, there is nothing in the BLPPROD policy to suggest the BLPPROD tag should be kept once an AFD is raised or that the processes described at DEL are superseded. I suggest that further discussion is kept to the BLPPROD discussion page rather than here as most of this is unlikely to affect the outcome of this AFD case.

Delete. Whether real or a hoax, he fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG by a country mile. Argyle 4 Life^talk 23:20, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Blatant hoax, no sources, no google hits, false info , has'nt played in a professional football match. Wummer71 (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can't even find the club site. There's www.ikfrisco.se/ but that's a Swedish domain and doesn't work anyway. At 15, he's too young to have done anything of note - especially as if he had it would be at the top of the gsearch and it isn't... Peridon (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
