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 based on speculation as to future appearances, which is never grounds for notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But he has played a number of times for the Danish youth teams, which marks him out as a hot prospect and likely first team player for FC St. Pauli. TRoode87 (talk) 22:04, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NFOOTBALL explicitly rules out youth football as a source of notability, and claims to notability based on potential future appearances have been consistently rejected in the past (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erik Pochanski (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomislav Turčin, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baoringdao Bodo for recent examples).

Delete- Since FC St. Pauli is not going to play any competitive match before August 6, 2016, it is a WP:TOOSOON case now. Fails at WP:GNG at the moment. Hitro talk 20:54, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Has yet to play in a WP:FPL Seasider91 (talk) 21:42, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Article can be easily restored if he passes a notability guideline in the next few months, but we don't create articles in anticipation of notability.

Delete Fine. I will restore the article when Rasmussen has played his first senior match. TRoode87 (talk) 13:36, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
