Violates the general criteria of WP:NOTDATABASE due to being an article that replicates a database entry. In addition, it fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT.

Keep Article hasn't scratched the surface, bias nomination in my view and this is a perfectly valid stub for an international footballer who played top flight football in Denmark for over six years. A true WP:BEFORE hasn't been done, as this is about Offline sources. Govvy (talk) 08:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you cite the offline sources you found? BilledMammal (talk) 10:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't about me, it's about you failing to do WP:BEFORE. Govvy (talk) 11:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe I have behaved improperly please take it to the appropriate forum and limit this discussion to whether Kai Nielsen is notable; I note this isn't the first time you have made personal attacks or aspersions against me at AfD. Were you able to find any sources that count towards GNG? BilledMammal (talk) 11:33, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a personal attack, its fact in my opinion. These are Danish international footballers you're nominating. Why are they international footballers, if you can't figure that part out then you're not doing a WP:BEFORE, plain and simple. Govvy (talk) 13:32, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC)t[reply]
Delete does not merit inclusion per GNG. There seems to be no sources that demonstrate this is a notable topic. Per SPORTSCRIT listings in database sources with low, and generic standards of inclusion do not indicate notability for Wikipedia. And Wikipedia is consistent across the project. We must show that topics have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Also Wikipedia is not a collection point for indiscriminate information. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Denmark international footballers (1–24 caps), if no-one finds enough SIGCOV to keep. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Struway2 if nothing else can found on him, per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and GiantSnowman. The "keep" voters fail to cite any WP:SIGCOV that would support a policy-based argument to keep. Cbl62 (talk) 17:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Verifiability means that we only keep articles that can be based on sources. We do not keep articles based on vague claims that there should be sources out there. Wikipedia has no grandfather clause, it is not a reliable source, and we do not give precedence to editors who create articles. Articles are kept if we can find GNG meeting sources, which do not exist in this case, not based on vague assertions that such sources exist, or at one point existed, or would exist in a perfect world. We need sources to have an article, period, we do not have sources here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:24, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I also failed to find sources. If good sources are identified, please ping me. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:29, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is the same as Kaj Nielsen, fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT Kazanstyle (talk) 09:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
