Fails WP:NFOOTY. Article was proposed for deletion, but the proposal was removed, as another user claimed an article in a Swedish local paper would give notability according to

WP:GNG. The listed article [1] is about a single football match in a semi-professional league. It is in the nature of local papers to write about local stuff like teams and players in non-professional leagues. Grrahnbahr (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

Keep - the criteria for
WP:GNG is that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.". A reliable source is defined as "sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language.". There is no criteria that I'm aware of that precludes local sources. The same source has other features, such as [2]. Nfitz (talk) 02:34, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

Note the words significant and "reliable sources" (latter in plural). Further, the news paper article is not about the player, but rather about a single match where the player appairently played well.

WP:GNG does also state that "'[p]resumed' means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included." When there are notability criterias for football players, and the player fails those criterias, and the player not is notable for other extraordinary events, it is a long shot to regard the player as notable just because of being briefly mentioned in a paper.

I'd hardly call name in the headlines of articles, a mention in a match report. With multiple articles on very different dates, it's not a single match. Nfitz (talk) 03:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails
WP:GNG. Would want to see much much more than one mention in a headline of a vary brief article to confirm GNG. Fenix down (talk) 07:42, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

Delete - the only source I can find apart from what has already been mentioned is this short article where his transfer from Heerenveen to Jönköpings Södra is announced. Swedish is a language I understand, and there is nothing in those three articles that is even close to the "significant coverage" that you need to pass the
