[edit] Lauri Dalla Valle

Lauri Dalla Valle (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested PROD, 16-year-old player who is part of Liverpool youth system. The PROD was contested under the claim he played with JIPPO (a Finnish second division team I strongly doubt to be fully professional), and extensive media coverage (despite the fact many of the given sources come from a Wordpress blog, and others does not cover solely the player in detail, as it is requested by WP:N).

  • Keep as the article's creator - sources given say he has played for JIPPO, he has an entry on the Finnish wikipedia which, although I don't speak Finnish, mention appearances in the "Suomen Nike Premierin" and the "Pohjola Cupin". He has many mentions in the media from non-blogs - Helsingin Sanomat, Karjalainen, Plaza, Ilta-Sanomat and MTV3 (all which appear to be Finnish newspapers), as well as the Times in England.

  • Delete Per nom. No evidence that JIPPO is a professional club. The fact that there are entries on other wikis is not a reason for keeping. пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Comment and what about the multiple, reliable third-party sources? GiantSnowman (talk) 12:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Quite clearly passes WP:BIO#Basic criteria through having multiple independent reliable sources. Even if he hasn't played in those competitions failing WP:BIO#Athlete doesn't matter if the basic criteria are met. John Hayestalk 13:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

      • Comment the three HS sources share the same date (8 dec 2007), and they were part of the same report, so they must be considered as a single source. All the other sources cover simply his signing from Liverpool. I don't know why, but this case reminds me of Rhain Davis, who was deleted despite the "sources". Being featured in the news is not enough to establish notability. --Angelo (talk) 18:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No evidence that JIPPO are fully-professional, no appearances for Liverpool. Fails WP:FOOTY/Notability English peasant 01:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
