John Guidetti

Contested PROD. I believe this player fails WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't yet "competed at the fully professional level of a sport". The infobox claims he has made two appearances for IF Brommapojkarna (although said appearances are unreferenced), but even if the stats are true, they are only for appearances made in the Superettan, Sweden's second division - a semi-professional league. This player also fails WP:GNG as he hasn't "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Giant Snowman 13:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He appears to have spent the summer with AIK Stockholm, but not sure whether he ended up playing for them or not, or whether the stated appearances for IF Brommapojkarna were in the Allsvenskan or not.8lgm (talk) 14:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Based on Brommapojkarna's season history, as well as Guidetti's age and dates, I would strongly suspect that his appearances were in the Superettan. Giant Snowman 14:48, 14 August 2009 (UTC)~~[reply]

Can anyone speak Swedish? - in this article and this article he discusses his career, it may have some essential info. Giant Snowman 14:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This site confirms he played for Brommapojkarna during the 2008 season, when Brommapojkarna were in the Superettan. Doesn't mention AIK though. Giant Snowman 14:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm far from an expert on this but it seems like he has just been training with AIK this summer. [1]. Närking (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable subject, fails WP:N and WP:ATHLETE (Superettan is semi-pro). --Angelo (talk) 12:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete - according to the Swedish FA, he has never played at a level above the Superettan. Article fails WP:ATHLETE and I don't see any evidence that there is sufficient coverage to pass the general notability guideline. Jogurney (talk) 14:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:ATHLETE. Tooga - BØRK! 11:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
