Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:56, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
I am also nominating the following article for the same reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:58, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Don't delete - Regarding Ryan Laursen, he has just been bought by a premier division team, so it's a matter of days/weeks, before he get's his debut. Lasse Fosgaard is also a full professional, as Lyngby is a professional sports team. He is pretty well known in Denmark. And if you want to delete him, there are thousands of other articles that can be deleted as well under the same set of rule set...
Anyway, I'm done contributing, if this is the thanks I'm getting for my work... --- Dddmortenbbb
- Delete both - Although Ryan Laursen was part of Lyngby when they were in a FPL, [http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/ryan-laursen/leistungsdaten/spieler_157626_2010.html Transfermarkt] indicates he never played for them and Lasse Fosgaard joined them after they were relegated, so has not played in a Full Professional League either. To Dddmortenbbb, the confusion you seem to be having is that it is not simply enough for a player to be employed by as a professional or even to be at a fully professional club. In order to pass the football notability guidelines, he needs to have played in a Fully Professional League, which neither of them have as it has not been shown that the Danish 1st division is fully professional (although it might have some professional clubs in it). Additionally, the notion that articles should be kept because the player will make their debut in a few weeks also is not valid as this is purely speculative and contravenes WP:CRYSTAL. You are quite right though, when Ryan Laursen makes his debut for Esbjerg then he has a case for an article, just not quite at the moment. Fenix down (talk) 20:57, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete both I think Fenix down summed things up nicely.204.126.132.231 (talk) 20:29, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep both - Yes, Fenix down summed up nicely how these two footballer fails the subject specific guideline, but I believe these two footballers passes the general notability guideline. A quick search gets sources like [http://www.bold.dk/nyt/Fosgaard-For-stort-spring-til-Superligaen], [http://www.bold.dk/nyt/Lyngby-fremtidssikrer-lovende-Laursen] and [http://kanalsport.dk/indslag/ryan-laursen-niels-frederiksen-betod-meget], which should be sufficient in addition to the sources already presented in the article.
