Player is non-notable soccer player with no professional experience, and no relevant collegiate history. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ATH and WP:FOOTY/N JonBroxton (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This article was created by a very nice, helpful, new editor who did not understand the notability criteria prior to him creating this article, and who reached out for help and guidance afterwards. I want to make a major point of encouraging him to continue working on Wikipedia, because although it fails the notability, this article is *VERY* well written, and I think this editor can be an asset to the FOOTY project. I left him a note on his talk page User talk:207.81.39.233. --JonBroxton (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

However, I have already had in my notes how Rosenlund was with VPS Vaasa for a while and have added it to the article incase it helps with not getting it removed. I originally didn't add it as I wanted to make sure I had all my references ready. However I am still in search of the reference I found on him playing with the 2nd team who plays in the 3rd highest division of the league against a team in the 2nd highest league in which he scored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mraju01 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned on your talk page, if Rosenlund only played for the reserve squad at Vaasa in Finland, that would not be enough to assert notability; it has to be a full league game (first team) in a fully professional league/competition. If he had appeared in a fully competitive Veikkausliiga game, or a game in the Finnish Cup, that would be enough. Reserve games are not, unfortunately. --JonBroxton (talk) 02:05, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
