Can you provide a source what says the Danish 1st league isn't fully professional?--TM 14:07, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This source, also listed at WP:FPL, provides information on the pro status in the Danish football pyramid. In addition, since notability requires verifiable evidence, this player would have been non-notable simply in the absence of a source indicating he had played in a fully pro league.

Delete - player fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 14:33, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Apparently hasn't played professionally, so he fails WP:NSPORTS. I was able to find a story on him here, but I'm unsure how reliable it is, and the rest of what I saw on Google News was mainly trivial stories relating to his drafting by the Red Bulls.
