Notability tagged for 5 years, article has stood for 11 years without a valid source. For a WP:BLP, this is unacceptable. I have checked Soccerway, Tribuna, FlashScore and BeSoccer and not found any senior appearances that would meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTBALL nor any evidence that he is likely to meet NFOOTBALL any time in the near future. In addition, a search of Dutch sources yields some coverage but it's mostly trivial stuff and from non-independent sources such as Groningen's own website.

The best independent source looks to be Tweenul, which does not contain enough detail for a WP:GNG pass. Also, GNG would require multiple sources showing detailed coverage. If the required sources are found, please ping me. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, nothing there. Pointless substub created by someone named Bakker. Geschichte (talk) 22:49, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a case for speedy. This is a warrented and well-researched nomination. gidonb (talk) 19:53, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 10:19, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL. The best article I could find is actually titled Steffen Bakker.[1] Probably we can piece the WP:GNG together, yet I tend against that when there is no claim to fame like playing even minutes in a professional game, or a major distinction or abundance of coverage for "amateurs" (at these levels, they all get paid). Being a bencher at the EC U-21 is the closest to a major distinction yet not enough. gidonb (talk) 13:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. While the article is here, enjoy Bakker's goal in the external links! gidonb (talk) 12:57, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It sure was a great goal! Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:30, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It reminded me of Asmir Begovic and Tim Howard. Paul Vaurie (talk) 17:11, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
