Technically passes WP:NFOOTY with a single substitute appearance in the top flight, has played semi-pro lower division football ever since - no evidence of WP:GNG Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 13:31, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only trivially passes WP:NFOOTBALL with less than one minute at the professional level to date. Currently plying his trade in the third tier of Norway, which is definitely not professional, so no realistic chance of gaining any more professional appearances soon. The best coverage found in a search was a brief report on a trial with FK Bodø/Glimt and a routine transfer announcement, so does not apparently meet WP:GNG. There is a growing consensus that failing GNG is more relevant than passing NFOOTBALL with one minute of playing. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify, ongoing career. I didn't create it until several years after, when the news surfaced that he was on his way to a fully-pro league again. But a transfer hasn't happened yet. Geschichte (talk) 16:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one appearance is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively. If sources are found which demonstrate GNG then please ping me. Giant Snowman 11:31, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article about footballer with a single appearance in a fully-pro league, yet comprehensively fails WP:GNG due to only having trivial coverage in online English or Norwegian language sources. Jogurney (talk) 23:14, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify per Geschichte. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 12:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Some desire to draftify, but I'm not sure why given there is nothing to currently to indicate GNG.

Delete per nom. I'm sympathetic to the draftify position, but here's the thing: this is a stub. If and when the subject becomes actually notable, you would write this in about five minutes before getting to the bona fide encyclopedic parts. And that's an "if", which if it doesn't go through will just mean a drawn-out G13 death or an MfD rather than a blank slate. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
