Speedy Keep This person is eminently notable as a member of the Swedish National Bandy team, which may meet WP:NATHLETE. Regardless, he meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in many reliable sources. Nominator needs to desist disruptive nominations for deletion without a significant effort at WP:BEFORE. This is a Swedish sport, and even the most cursory query of Dagens Nyheter for his name plus Bandy brings up hundreds of articles. Here are a few [1] [2] [3]. There are hundreds.Jacona (talk) 22:49, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment After starting a bevy of spurious AfD's among Philippines Basketball Association related articles, the nominator proceeded to start a group of AfDs on the sport of Bandy, also apparently giving no heed to WP:BEFORE. The articles include: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Liw,Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ulf Einarsson,Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Brown (bandy) and a prod, Rules and Referee Committee, (possibly the only reasonable of these). I'm adding these links so these can be considered together.Jacona (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Player in the Swedish national team, including in a World championship [4]. Has played as a professional in the Russian Bandy Super League. Several non-trivial mentions in WP:RS during his time as a player. Sjö (talk) 11:29, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Substandard nomination. If you can't even be bothered to make an argument for why something or somebody is non-notable, you have no right to expect other people to take your nomination seriously. --Hegvald (talk) 13:01, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep and take nom to ANI. Enough is enough. Smartyllama (talk) 19:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kommentar I have attempted to engage the nominator on his talk page (twice). Since then, he has not nominated any more. While I am disappointed he didn't own up to the problem and withdraw his nominations, let's at least wait and see how he behaves going forward. If he continues to nominate articles without valid reasons, ANI would be logical, but I don't think it will be necessary. I think the nom is going to be a fine editor, just needs a little guidance.

- If he were a new editor, I might agree with you, but he's been editing since 2013 and has been doing this for at least the last several months. And it's gotten consistently worse - it used to be at least some of his AfD's were logical, now they're almost all of clearly notable subjects. Smartyllama (talk) 21:38, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has participated in sport at the highest level. Sufficient independent sources tp pass WP:GNG. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
