9 minutes of pro-level play in 2015. Best I can find are some media mentions of the "local newspaper writes about local club" variety like [1], but nothing GNG-worthy. Dr. Duh 🩺 ( talk) 11:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - Article fails WP:GNG. Jogurney ( talk) 14:46, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Mostly just found stats. A few mentions in transfer pages and articles. Not enough evidence of notability. HennSw123 ( talk) 21:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep, the "local newspaper" article provided is valid and passes GNG IMO.--

- Ortizesp, it most definitively does not. Lokalkompass is a (quotes translated from de:WVW/ORA Anzeigenblätter#Lokalkompass) "citizen's community" where "anyone who registers as a citizen reporter can write about topics of their own choosing or upload photos". For example, the author of the text in question is a retiree, as evidenced by his profile page. It's a nice idea to get a local community newspaper going, but useful for our purposes it is not.
