Contested PROD: "this guy has over 100 games in the top tier of Norway so this isn't an uncontroversial deletion, AfD if you still feel there's not enough there" Fails WP:NFOOTY and lacks sustained, non-routine coverage to pass WP:GNG.

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 19:37, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I disagree with the lack of coverage comment. He has tonnes of coverage here. Not least this article and this and here as well. Being a first team regular for a decade in a top league, he was always going to get a lot of news coverage. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 00:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A top league? The guy was a bus driver and part-time footballer. I see some trivial mentions (mostly goals conceded) in the national press and a handful of WP:ROUTINE articles in his local paper, of the sort any non-League footballer in the UK might get.

Keep - per my comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jan Berg (footballer, born 1943) Mentoz (talk) 03:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Seems to be some significant coverage, needs more discussion on those sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 18:35, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article about amateur footballer who appears to be the subject of siginficant coverage in reliable sources (particularly the archived coverage Spiderone found in Bergensavisen which is the 2nd largest regional newspaper for Bergen). Jogurney (talk) 18:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Spiderone. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:22, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - agree with Spiderdone and Mentoz. --- Løken (talk) 18:08, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
