Article about former footballer who played sparingly for a club in the Norwegian top division before his career ended. There is no significant coverage in reliable sources; just database entries, match reports, and an interview with Vikebladet Vestposten. The interview is the best thing I could find, but is mostly quotes from the subject of the article, and not enough to satisfy WP:GNG on its own. Jogurney (talk) 07:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 20:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources below. Giant Snowman 12:22, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - @GiantSnowman:, I found [1], [2], [3],[4], [[5], [6], [7], [8], [9], among many many more sources from aftenposten.no, tk.no, adressa.no, etc. He made 12 appearances and scored 2 goals for a team in the fully professional Norwegian top flight.

Many of these links are not helpful in showing that the GNG could be met. The June 2008 Adresseavisen and the May 2012 Tidens Krav links are simply match reports (nothing in-depth there). The May 2009 NRK link is a match preview that reads like his club's press release (again nothing in-depth there). Almost every other link is an interview with Fløtre (which wouldn't be coverage that is independent of the subject); the Vikebladet Vestposten, Adresseavisen and Aftenposten interviews contain small amounts of prose written by the author while the Verdens Gang interview is behind a paywall. The only exception I see is the November 2012 Adresseavisen interview which covers his loan to third-tier Kristiansund BK as there are paragraphs of prose. That said, I don't think this rises to the level of meeting the GNG, and I'm disppointed that you included match reports and previews without realizing they contribute little-or-nothing to the analysis.

I've found couple of sources that have not been discussed here. This Aftenposten article/interview from 2009 does discuss his career a bit up to that point (his previous year cup success, contract status and recent success with the reserve team). Then there is this Stavanger Aftenblad article from 2008 that discusses his game winning goal for AaFK in his debut in 2008. Alvaldi (talk) 20:05, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the effort in finding those, but I think the AP article contains very little prose (much like the interviews Das posted above) and the SA article is a match report with some extra prose on Fløtre. These are better than nothing, but I still don't believe we've approached the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 16:01, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree with you a bit about the sources, in my opinion the SA article is specifically about his debut but not a match report per se and the AP article, when stripped of the pure interview parts, does contain about 1700 characters. However its up for debate if the content of those articles are deep enough. Personally I'm swaying between weak keep/weak delete. Alvaldi (talk) 17:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes GNG after additional sources were added.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:11, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
