~~Weak keep Weak delete~~ Keep - played (one game, on loan) for BK Häcken (in 2011) in the Allsvenskan (First Division) which is in the list of fully professional leagues so by the letter of WP:NFOOTY, the subject passes. But every other appearance has been for Kärra KIF which is in the (non-professional) Fourth Division or the Swedish Under-17s or Under-19s. So if people want to cite WP:NFOOTY and the consensus is that one game while on loan isn't enough, I certainly won't object. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion - I suggest that we merge him in with Kärra KIF and add him as a notable player with a comment that he played on loan for BK Häcken. Although, the notability of Karra KIF might be in question too.ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yes he technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to 31 minutes of professional play over a year ago - but WP:GNG is more important, and he does not meet that, with no indication he ever will. I also disagree with merging him into his current team - there is another non-notable player by the same name and the merge might cause some confusion.

Actually, that other player by the same name looks to have played for Lindome GIF for two seasons (2008 and 2009 - scoring a goal in each season) while they were in the first division. So it's arguable that 'your' Robin Eriksson would meet WP:NFOOTY to a greater extent than the Robin Eriksson in question. Bizarre! Your argument about GNG is, nonetheless, convincing and I have changed my opinion above. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - article has been improved massively, enough to satisfy GNG. Giant Snowman 11:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, changed again. Ha ha. Stalwart111 (talk) 21:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've found enough independent non-trivial coverage of Mr Eriksson to incorporate into the beginnings of an article, certainly enough to indicate the likelihood of the subject meeting WP:GNG, even if the article itself doesn't, yet. As he does pass WP:NFOOTBALL, I'd presume that's enough to justify a keep. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:33, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL and certainly passes WP:GNG, job's a good 'un ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Impressive work Struway2. Passes both WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. --Mentoz86 (talk) 18:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Mentoz86. The article has been improved enough and notability validated. Thanks for your hard work.
