The result was keep. What slid this to the "keep" side was the nominator saying that he's now cool with the article. Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Icelandic football is not fully professional. As this person has done nothing other than play domestic football in Iceland, he fails WP:NSPORT. Mkativerata (talk) 02:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He plays at the top level of Icelandic football. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:09, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please refer to the applicable notability guideline that says the top level of Icelandic football confers notability. Or, alternatively, demonstrable coverage in reliable sources other than a link to a basic stats database. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:32, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 11:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - new sources added, combined with European appearances and an international call up, all push this player into the 'notable' bracket. Giant Snowman 16:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Icelandic football is not fully pro, and as such, this person fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, he fails both WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Also the Icelandic football is not fully professional. --Carioca (talk) 20:37, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article's subject fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. MJ94 (talk) 23:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Sources in the Icelandic press were easy to find, and he was just chosen for the Philippines national team. I've added info and references. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much. Now that we have a proper article rather than a misconceived stub, I'll no longer press for the article to be deleted. I'll leave it to the remaining delete !voters to consider what to do: techcnically he still fails NSPORT as he hasn't represented Iceland but the sources look more than ok. --Mkativerata (talk) 03:07, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to meet WP:GNG per the coverage found. Yes, he marginally fails NSPORT, but with such a high level of sourcing that shouldn't be an issue. Alzarian16 (talk) 17:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep various sources included conferring notability. Eldumpo (talk) 11:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above. —Half Price 14:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
