PROD contested. Not meeting WP:NFOOTY as yet to appear in a fully professional league. Hitro talk 09:53, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The WP:FPL list needs to be updated then, because the Danish 1st Division is fully professional, since a few years. User:Bocanegra, 10:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

May you provide with some references to verify this claim? This would be helpful for this discussion as well as for the WikiProject Football. Hitro talk 10:41, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Whether 2nd-tier Danish 1st Division (beneath Danish Superliga) possibly meets NFOOTY (not in current list) is immaterial, as this subject does not meet WP:GNG and NFOOTY merely creates a presumption of GNG. Per my BEFORE all we have is a WP:ROUTINE signing announcement (which is mainly PR flap from the club as well) as a few brief mentions in match reports in possibly non-reliable sources. As we are clearly lacking significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - subject simply does not have SIGCOV. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:39, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Nykøbing FC is a fully professional club, playing in the Danish 1st Division which consists primarily of fully professional clubs, and some semi-pro's, meaning that Jordan Wilson indeed has played fully professional matches. I added a source from a regional - RELIABLE - newspaper, Folketidende, on his contract extension. Which is a professional contract. Does that clear things up?

The rather over expansive WP:NFOOTY states - "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable" - per your own admission the Danish 1st Division has some semi-pro teams, and is thus not a "fully-professional league". Therefore, NFOOTY is not met. Icewhiz ( talk) 13:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply
