I am not seeing the legues he played in in the list of fully professional leagues, so he does not seem to pass our inclusion criteria for football players. The coverage is mainly from team web page player bios, so not enough to pass the general notability guidelines either. John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:30, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – He played for three Eerste Divisie/Eredivisie teams (FC Volendam, PEC Zwolle, MVV Maastricht) and one Scottish Premier League (now called Scottish Premiership) team (Falkirk F.C.), all fully professional leagues listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues (via WP:NFOOTBALL). – Editør (talk) 11:21, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, he played many times in the Scottish Premier League, which was the top division of football in Scotland, for Falkirk. You won't see it in the FPL list because the Scottish leagues were restructured in 2013. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:08, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. According to the fourth source (regional news organisation) he played 150 professional matches, "betaald voetbal". Ergo, in addition to passing WP:GNG, he passes WP:NFOOTY. --HyperGaruda (talk) 16:55, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
