Fails SPORTBASIC and GNG due to lack of significant coverage. –dlthewave ☎ 05:00, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Sweden. –dlthewave ☎ 05:00, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, online coverage here and here, but mainly based on offline coverage in newspapers from the period. I can't access any full article without physically going to a library, but a cursory search in the Swedish Royal Library archive which shows fragments of articles reveal a number of articles very likely constituting significant coverage – including one fragment stating "[...] kunde Patrik Bengtsson för första gången i sitt 21-åriga liv gotta sig åt helsidesrubriker i alla de stora tidningarna" (rough translation: "[...] Patrik Bengtsson could for the first time in his 21-year-old life indulge in full-page headlines in all the major newspapers"). Not strange considering he played some 30 games in Allsvenskan for IFK Göteborg and 2 games in the Champions League group stage. – Elisson • T • C • 07:18, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per Elisson. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:46, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 18:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 19:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Per Elisson. All the other Sports WikiProjects don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 10, but why should any Sports WikiProject have 10 deleted per day? By the time I finish writing this, another ten will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:17, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per sources presented above and per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 16:08, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, top flight Swedish footballer and Elisson demonstrates that sourcing exists.--Mvqr (talk) 11:30, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per what's been dug up in the AfD discussion above. /Julle (talk) 09:22, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sources discussed above. I'm concerned that User:Dlthewave nominated 4 different snow keeps within a few minutes - this suggest that WP:BEFORE was not done. Nfitz (talk) 00:17, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
