Revision as of 03:55, 2 February 2024

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sportspeople. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sportspeople|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sportspeople.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Non-notable football player. Never actually played in the NFL, can't find anything in newspapers.com outside of basic game recaps, does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Wizardman 01:03, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople and American football. Wizardman 01:03, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: low-level football player, all I find is this profile on ESPN [1]. Delete for lack of any sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 01:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Mississippi and Ohio. WCQuidditch 02:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not finding significant coverage. Rlendog (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Coverage exists at [[2]], but besides that all I can see is some mentions in game recaps. Leaning delete now, but will wait to see if others can find more/better coverage. Let'srun (talk) 18:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A search of Newspapers.com doen't turn up much of real depth. And he has very little in the way of on-field success -- his best season was 2005 with only 225 rushing yards and two touchdowns at the FCS-level. See here. I found this profile from his time as a high school player, but a local paper reporting on the local player of the week isn't enough per WP:YOUNGATH. The best item I found was this item from his junior-college days; it's SIGCOV IMO but not enough to pass the GNG bar. Most of the hits are just passing mentions in game coverage from his days at Ohio University. E.g. this and this. I have an open mind if more SIGCOV is uncovered, especially from his time in Division I. Cbl62 (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete per above rationale. Not enough WP:SIGCOV for this subject to meet the WP:GNG. Please ping me if any additional coverage is found. Let'srun (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-notable person based on only routine reports and non-significant coverage on this person. Carson Wentz (talk) 17:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG. I'm not seeing significant independent coverage, with the best coverage I was able to find being a brief writeup of a transfer ([3]) and an interview ([4]), neither of which is typically considered a strong case for GNG. signed, Rosguill talk 20:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG, I was not able to find any additional independent coverage beyond the one secondary source cited in the article ([6]), which provides a brief announcement of the subject's trade from Palmeira to Valmiera. signed, Rosguill talk 20:22, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Brazil. signed, Rosguill talk 20:22, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Per [7] [8] [9] [10]. Satisfactory WP:SIGCOV from reliable sources. Svartner (talk) 01:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Those don't appear to generally be independent RS. The first one is affiliated with his club, the second doesn't publish a masthead and appears to primarily be a gambling site, Verdazzo is a group blog (see [11]). The last one, Gazeta Esportiva seems ok, although the prominence of gambling and advertising links on the site isn't a great look. signed, Rosguill talk 15:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Verdazzo has no direct connection with SE Palmeiras, and even though it originated as a blog, currently provides very in-depth informative coverage of players. Goal.com also has no relationship with betting sites. They are reliable sources, and demonstrate that Ruan Ribeiro's numbers in the youth categories are significant to support an article. Furthermore, there are even more complementary sources from more famous sites like Lance! [12] and Placar [13]. Svartner (talk) 18:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG; the sole example of independent coverage is [14], which includes a little bit of description beyond the routine signing announcement, but does not make a case for GNG on its own. I was unable to find additional coverage searching online for various substrings of the subject's name combined with teams that he has played for. signed, Rosguill talk 20:02, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify – As WP:AtD. Svartner (talk) 01:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    On what basis? Draftify is for when there's an article where we expect sources to soon become available, or where we think we can rescue an article about a non-notable topic by refocusing on a more notable related topic. signed, Rosguill talk 15:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Based on the fact that the athlete is in the main divisions of Indonesian football, with his career in progress, it is possible for his notability to be fully established in the short to medium term. Svartner (talk) 18:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Young player with ongoing career in fully pro Indonesian top flight which gets lots of media coverage. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

Does not meet WP:GNG. I was able to find this writeup in a Tribun Network local paper but otherwise can't find any significant secondary coverage. signed, Rosguill talk 19:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, Das osmnezz's sources do look like they establish notability to me. I'm happy to have this closed as keep. I expect that the above pings did not go through due to the lack of a signature, Svartner, GiantSnowman. signed, Rosguill talk 02:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem for me, as I said previously, these top-level players in Indonesia would tend to have established notability, whether in the medium term, due to the relevance of the sport in the country. Svartner (talk) 02:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BLP of a retired racing driver. The two sources provided are just passing mentions. The ja.wiki article has no better sourcing. A search in English and Japanese turns up other passing mentions and database/table entries with no in depth coverage at all. (It also turns up a few unrelated individuals who happen to have the same name). Given the age of the subject there may be specialist sources offline in Japanese, but failing that, he’s not notable.

However, I do recommend removed any unsourced claims such as [he] is a three-time Japanese Touring Car champion, winning the title in 1985, 1989 and 1992; he is the only driver to have won championships in all three classes in the series, when the official source claims just one.

Ali Abukar was in the news for a poor performance at the Summer World University Games and related allegations of nepotism. Per WP:BLP1E, I don't think we can justify an article for her as she is only known for this one race and is otherwise a low-profile individual. The incident was widely reported in early August 2023, but none of the coverage was sustained. She doesn't seem to be known for anything else. A PROD was declined. Suggest redirecting to 2021 Summer World University Games where there is a section dedicated to the controversy. gobonobo + c 16:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree that much of the page's content isn't notable enough and the championships listed are too diverse to belong on the same page (for example, Superbike and World Touring Championship). For other famous motor racing circuits, the list of winners can only be found on the event's (grand prix) page. For example, on Monaco Grand Prix rather than on Circuit de Monaco, and on Italian Grand Prix rather than on Monza Circuit. Moving some of the lists for individual championships to the page of the championship itself could be considered if they are notable enough. Bendegúz Ács (talk) 01:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, those are only passing mentions or statistical databases including literal result pages, also "reinforced" with articles that don't mention Tondi at all, such as "Dakar meeting marks start of 2004 AAC track circuit | NEWS | World Athletics". Also, 22.78 seconds for 200 m is not an international standard of athletics, it is on par with the results achieved by thousands of apt 16-17 year old boys every year. The article doesn't contain a single WP:SIGCOV source and I couldn't find any either. Geschichte (talk) 17:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Geschichte, thank you for your nomination because it helps us improve the article.
    It's incorrect to apply a global standard of achievement to athletes from non-first world countries, that isn't how notability works – for example, the Indian record-holder in the 100 metres Amiya Kumar Mallick only has a personal best of 10.26 seconds, not even fast enough to qualify for most high-level athletics meetings and a time that many American high school boys have beaten, yet he is still famous as the fastest from his home country and notable for an article.
    I thought about this for a while, even before making my improvements, and have concluded that Wikipedia policies lean in favor of keeping the Tondi article. Tondi meets WP:NATH as a national record holder and presumed national champion (as he was the only male Nigerien selected). Understanding that, we know that, "Significant coverage is likely to exist". WP:BASIC says that as long as significant coverage exists – which we know is true due to NATH – Tondi is presumed notable, and passes the Wikipedia guidelines check. Just because we don't have the significant coverage or "the good stuff" right now linked in the article, doesn't mean that the article should be deleted, as simply knowing that sources exist can be sufficient for keeping an article. This overrides WP:SPORTCRIT prong five, as a more general guideline can apply even in the case where more specific guidelines may conflict.
    In this case, we know the sources exist as several articles about races Tondi was in and placed in are paywalled, and we haven't even begun to search the Nigerien newspaper archives which surely covered Tondi as the sole male representative from their nation in the marquee sport at the 2008 Olympic Games. --Habst (talk) 18:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on my discussion above. --Habst (talk) 18:40, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Sources in the article are passing mentions in routine event recaps and pure stats, not SIGCOV. 1, 5-9, 11, 12 (Tilastopaja) are all primary, trivial stats reports Red XN. 2, 3, & 10 (Worldathletics) are more stats/results pages from a non-independent body Red XN. 4 (L'Express/AllAfrica) seems to be a routine event recap with at most a passing mention of Tondi Red XN. My own search on Proquest, archive.org, and Newspaper Archive yielded a single result, which was his name in a results list.
We do not apply different standards of achievement to subjects from developing countries, mostly because that is not how GNG notability works anyway but also because that would be demeaning.
We had a recent global RfC that found strong consensus in requiring all sportsperson articles contain a citation to IRS SIGCOV. This has been upheld in hundreds of AfDs by now. The presumption that SIGCOV is "likely to exist" is explicitly different from the presumptions that SIGCOV does exist or that the subject is inherently notable; this was determined by the same RfC. The claim that a "likelihood" of coverage existing afforded by meeting an NSPORT sport-specific criterion (which the subject here does not) is equivalent to "SIGCOV exists", and therefore satisfies BASIC, is absurd and completely unsupported by P&Gs. JoelleJay (talk) 22:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thank you for your response.
We had a recent global RfC that found strong consensus in requiring all sportsperson articles contain a citation to IRS SIGCOV – I don't think that's an accurate way to describe WP:NSPORTS2022 – it certainly does not describe the current landscape as this extended content box shows. If you look at the first thread of Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#What do we do when..., you can see that the "key change" of NSPORTS2022 was the removal of participation-based criteria (which does not apply to this subject as he did more than participate). The other changes were either changes of wording that don't affect this specific case, or changes that are inconsequential because the subject fulfills the broader policy of WP:BASIC.
The presumption that SIGCOV is "likely to exist" is explicitly different from the presumptions that SIGCOV does exist or that the subject is inherently notable – I understand that the wording was changed from "presumed notable" to "significant coverage is likely to exist", but I think that these statements are effectively a distinction without a difference, as explained in the above-linked talk. The wording may be different, but the policy implications are the same – if we can know that significant coverage exists, by any process, then that fulfills the criteria of WP:BASIC which determines notability. This is plainly stated by Wikipedia policies.
The argument that a subject can pass a broader guideline like WP:BASIC but fail a topic-specific supplemental guideline like WP:SPORTBASIC and thus be deleted, was tested in Clive Sands, with the result of the discussion being Keep. So clearly, broader guidelines still apply even in cases where there are also topic-specific rules – e.g. imagine if the Alan Turing article was deleted on the basis that he was not a fast enough marathon runner. --Habst (talk) 22:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is absolutely the correct description of that RfC, as has been explained to you by numerous editors including the drafter admin @Cbl62. There are hundreds of thousands of articles on sportspeople, many of which are poorly sourced or don't meet NSPORT. It's pure OSE to claim the fact that any of those haven't yet been deleted is evidence SPORTCRIT #5 isn't observed. I could link far more that have been deleted, anyway. The talk at NSPORT is just more of your misconceptions about notability guidelines and Wikipedia in general, which multiple other editors have since rebutted. No one else seems to have trouble comprehending what downgrading "presumed notable" to "SIGCOV is likely to exist" means. If you you've read the RfC and the dozens of talk page discussions and still don't get it then that's your problem.
Clive Sands was definitely not kept because of BASIC and the outcome most certainly does not imply that meeting BASIC overrides failing SPORTCRIT. Alvaldi's comment was rebutting the clueless claim that failing a sport-specific criterion overrode meeting GNG, which is explicitly addressed at N. That is not comparable to BASIC vs SPORTCRIT. And your Alan Turing comparison just raises CIR concerns. JoelleJay (talk) 23:44, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thank you for your response. Wikipedia policy is both decided and enforced by consensus – this means that any one person doesn't decide how policy is enforced, even though I greatly respect @Cbl62 and agree with them more often than not. It also means that case studies looking at the actual decisions made by editors can sometimes be more helpful than proscriptive analysis.
I think that the key change of WP:NSPORTS2022 was to remove participation-only criteria, which was reiterated by other editors in the linked discussion – the other changes don't affect WP:BASIC anyways, and the intention of the proposal was never to override that broader guideline.
My point in linking the Clive Sands case was to show that supplemental guidelines do not override broader guidelines, so if we can prove that WP:BASIC is met, then WP:SPORTCRIT is not necessary. Clive Sands was decided in part based on that principle.
I'd like to finish by reiterating that I greatly respect your work on Wikipedia, and I would much rather discuss the article or its sources than the behavior of other editors. --Habst (talk) 00:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are ignoring the people who actually participated in the RfC, the RfC text itself, and the thousands of AfDs that have resulted in deletes as a consequence of the RfC and SPORTCRIT #5 specifically. You are also ignoring the multiple successful mass-draftification RfCs that draftified Lugnuts stubs primarily on the basis of their failing SPORTCRIT #5 (those alone account for around 2000 athlete bios that have been removed from mainspace for this reason). There is overwhelming practical consensus against you.
Clive Sands was kept based entirely on editors deciding he met GNG and the fact that at no point has failing NSPORT sport-specific criteria but demonstrably meeting GNG meant a subject was not notable. There were zero aspects of it that support your idiosyncratic interpretation that BASIC automatically overrules a site-wide consensus, and certainly nothing that suggests BASIC can be met by the mere presumption that SIGCOV is likely to exist.
Respect other editors' time, recognize what it means to have a 56% AfD match rate, and stop bludgeoning these discussions with anti-consensus, anti-P&G arguments. JoelleJay (talk) 03:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thank you for your response because I appreciate your contributions even when we don't agree all the time.
Deletion discussions on Wikipedia are just that – discussions – where we can discuss and debate Wikipedia polices and how they apply to articles. Many Wikipedia policies are subjective, and just as there have been many AfDs that have resulted in deletes, there have also been many AfDs not resulting in deletes similar to the subject we're discussing now, such as Kyohei Ushio or Abdou Manzo.
WP:BASIC is a Wikipedia accepted guideline since at least 2007, and if an article can be demonstrated to have met the basic notability guidelines for people, I think that the subject can be determined to be notable – this is regardless of any topic-specific supplementary guidelines. Though of course not exactly the same, my point in linking the Sands case was to show that broader guidelines can override topic specific guidelines if circumstances allow for it.
To me, it is the greatest sign of respect to engage respectfully with editors who you disagree with. I didn't know that there was a tool to count AfD match rates, but when I did a web search for it this essay was the first result: Wikipedia:AfD stats don't measure what you think. I don't think any editor should be asked to not participate in discussions simply because their opinions do not align with the majority most (or in this case, some) of the time, and I would much rather discuss the subject's notability than concerns about editor behavior. Thank you, --Habst (talk) 14:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anybody would consider this unremarkable businessman sufficiently notable were it not for the fact that he is involved with a kick-the-ball outfit. This is not enough. TheLongTone (talk) 15:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep Clearly notable person, [26], [27], [28], [29]. Loads online for him, take it you did no homework on him. Govvy (talk) 12:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed@Govvy, there are plenty of other Wikipedia articles for other football club owners which have the same or less information than this one. Examples being: Steve Lansdown of Bristol City, Ruben Gnanalingam of Queens Park Rangers, Dejphon Chansiri of Sheffield Wednesday, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus of Sundeland, Gino Pozzo of Watford. Are we suggesting that all of these people should also have their articles deleted?
    Not only this, but surely being the owner of a large sporting organisation is a notable enough feat to deserve their own article?
    Further to this he is a successful business man running a large construction company with some very notable projects within the United Kingdom, I also believe Clowes Developments should also have their own page very soon.
    @TheLongTone David Clowes is clearly deserving of their own article based on other pages dedicated to other sporting owners with similar accomplishments. If you delete this page you are going against precedence set for other pages. Benwilliams1196 (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not disagreeing with the !vote, but please be aware that we don't base deletion arguments on the existence of other pages. The question is whether the subject is significantly treated in independent reliable secondary sources. Those are what the article will be built from. On the sourcing, the four added by Govvy are newspaper reports which are primary sources. Primary sources do not count towards notability. However, I would take the breadth of suchs sources as being an indicator that secondary sources are likely to exist too. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    See WP:Otherstuff I am aware that there are people who think that anything to do with kick-the-ball is notable; they are misguided. TheLongTone (talk) 15:29, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To qualify for speedy keep, you should specify one of the speedy keep criteria per WP:SKCRIT. I don't think any of those apply. In particular, I think a reasonable understanding of the deletion rationale is that it does not meet GNG, so 1 doesn't apply. I'll also note that every source on the page is a primary source. As I already said, the breadth of coverage may still indicate notability, but this is not a clear GNG pass as it stands. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'comment. As explicitly stated in the nomination, this man would excite no interest whatsoever were it not for his involvement with a kick-the-ball business.

They DO NOT serve to establish notability.TheLongTone (talk) 15:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Sirfurboy: Firstly, the first source I posted above isn't a newspaper, its the BBC! Next, the BBC is not a primary source, nor is the Daily Telegraph, nor is the other newspapers, newspapers do not count as primary sourcing. Also, there is nothing wrong with me saying speedy keep. Govvy (talk) 18:32, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, the BBC is a news web site not a paper. But it is still all primary sourcing. Please see WP:PRIMARYNEWS. Also WP:PRIMARY and especially note d, which itself also refers to WP:NEWSORG. These are reliable but primary sources. Are there any secondary sources about the subject? If not, what is the breadth of news coverage? Is it WP:SUSTAINED? Per SUSTAINED, where news coverage is sustained over a long period this is an indicator of notability. 2 of those you have provided are not just primary but also from the same day last June, the other two are from the same day this year and in the same paper (so they count as one in any case). As for saying "speedy", you can certainly say it, but if you wish it to be acted upon, you need to specify the speedy keep criterion engaged. Otherwise it is just a keep.

  • Keep, passes GNG with significant coverage.--Ortizesp (talk) 03:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - Despite the claim above, there is no demonstration - above or in the article - of significant coverage in independent reliable secondary sources, which is what would be required for GNG. The sources above are all primary sources and the extent of the coverage is limited in time and focussed on one thing (the takeover of Derby FC). There is no presumption of notability and notability has not yet been demonstrated. Yet I expect that there is a case that this businessman is or soon will be notable. For instance, I think this: [30] is significant coverage in an independent reliable secondary source. We need multiple sources to meet GNG but that is one that properly focusses on Clowes. The reason it is necessary to insist on secondary sources is that these are what provide us the information that allows us to create an article. The current article is mostly about the purchase of Derby FC because it is written around those primary sources, but secondary sources like this one will allow the article to be written on the person. I expect more secondary sources exist or will be written soon, and a decent article is possible when they are. The page creator has made a decent start with this page, and with some work this will be an encyclopaedic article. However its reliance on primary sources needs to be addressed. Deletion is not for clean-up, so keep would be acceptable here, if the article were tagged. However, the article is new and eligible for draftification. As such, that would be my preference.

Stephen Kirk (disambiguation)

There was a recent requested move discussion at Talk:Stephen Kirk, which closed as moved on the basis that only two notable individuals with this name exist. The intention of the RM nomination was that the dab page would be replaced by a pair of hatnotes on the Stephen Kirk and Steve Kirk articles, each linking to the other and making this dabpage unnecessary. With the hatnotes in place, the dab page is not actually linked from anywhere. Since the RM closed, User:Boleyn has added two new entries to the dab page, "Stephen Kirk (songwriter) on Pray (Jessie Murph song)" and "Steve Kirk (illustrator) who worked with Cathy Camper". These are non-notable individuals who would not ever qualify for their own redirect or page and I see no need for us to retain a disambiguation page listing them. WP:DABMENTION instructs us to do this only if "a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader", something, which is not the case for these individuals. Additionally there are links to Geoffrey Stephen Kirk, Kirk Stephens and Kirk Stevens, but again these are not plausible candidates for the "Stephen Kirk" name.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for an entry on a dab page to be valid, it needs a 'Stephen Kirk' who has an article, who meets MOS:DABRL, or meets MOS:DABMENTION. This page has several, plus in the 'see also' section names that could be mistaken for 'Stephen Kirk'. Dabs are essentially indexes to WP, and show where a reader can find informaiton on a person. Therefore this page shows where you can find information on different people named Stephen Kirk. It is a valid dab page per the guidelines and the hatnotes to the dab have been restored - they would of course be deleted if the page was. I don't see anything policy-based in the argument for deletion, nothing referring to disambiguation guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Boleyn: Thanks for the comment. However, are the individuals mentioned on the page notable? If they aren't, then they don't qualify for WP:DABRL or WP:DABMENTION per my comments above. There's no value to a reader in forcing them to make an extra click to get from the handball player to the basketball player and vice versa, just to stare at the names of people who don't meet WP:GNG. The recent RM was conducted on the basis that there only two notable Stephen Kirks. If you think that isn't the case, then I'd be intrested to see the evidence, and maybe we should redlink them on the dab page. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JoelleJay (talk) 22:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Both Stephen Kirk (songwriter) and Steve Kirk (illustrator) have worked on more than a Jessie Murph song and Cathy Camper book, respectively, so those are not appropriate redirects. Moreover, DABMENTION requires that they be discussed in those articles, and they are merely mentioned there, not discussed. Finally, I don't think either of them meets DABRL because neither are notable as of now (although Stephen Kirk (songwriter) might become notable, given that he's worked with some high profile acts, like BTS). voorts (talk/contributions) 01:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Appearing in professional league matches no longer satisfy notability requirements, as participation-based criteria were eliminated from WP:ATHLETE in the big RFC 2 years ago. For your sources, I made reference to those in my nomination statement though not by name. The Your Herefordshire source is significant coverage but of questionable reliability, being more of a community blog than something we'd use to demonstrate notability. The author, Matt Healey, is not a journalist but a party DJ, Sales Director for Your Herefordshire, and (most importantly) Hereford FC Matchday Announcer since 2002 🎤 according to his own website,[31] making him not independent of the subject. Your second source is a local news source, which isn't necessarily disqualifying but it is a routine injury report. Neither of them are sufficient to demonstrate notability. As far as pre-internet sources, sure they might exist and might give WP:SIGCOV. But we don't have enough sources available to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC and give us the presumption of notability and existence of sources. The WordsmithTalk to me 20:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I did a search of the Swedish newspaper archives and what I could find for "Narbett" were clearly just routine passing mentions and match recaps. The full text of the Barometern piece is very short -- "Jonathan Narbett came to Kalmar FF from Oxford in 1994. Here he goes wild in the home match against BK Forward. The question is eagle he was on his feet when he landed; few players in KFF history have fallen over as often as he has. Apart from an extremely unexpected hat-trick away to Hässleholm, he made an exceedingly modest impression and disappeared after the season back to Great Britain, specifically to Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. After a couple of years in Chesterfield and Worcester City, the trail of him ends. Wherever Jon Narbett is today is his 48th birthday." I still don't think this meets GNG, but would like to hear from @The Wordsmith. Svenskafans is a passing mention. JoelleJay (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nikolay Atanasov

This biography of an Olympic athlete was created under earlier sports notability guidelines, but no longer satisfies Olympic notability because the subject did not receive a medal. It does not satisfy general notability because it does not describe what third parties have written. The only reference is a database entry.

  • Comment Would it not be easier to ask the creator directly for improvement when you don't even want it deleted? Anyway, a three-time Olympian, three-time World Championship participant, Balkan champion and nine-time national champion (in a country that holds a high level in athletics) meets WP:SPORTCRIT with the most flying of flying colours, so it's just a matter of finding the good stuff. Geschichte (talk) 10:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the article fails WP:SPORTCRIT, prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Cbl62 (talk) 23:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbl62, thank you for your nomination. It may have failed SPORTCRIT point #5, but that is contradicted by WP:BASIC, which says that as long as sources have received significant coverage, they can be notable enough for a Wikipedia article – regardless of whether or not that coverage is explicitly linked in the article at any given moment.
The subject clearly meets WP:NATH as a multi-time national champion, which gives us a presumption of those sources existing. That presumption was correct, but nobody has found them in the past ten days because the subject had a wrong name recorded here – his Bulgarian name is not Bulgarian: Николай Атанасов, but Bulgarian: Николай Атанасов-Джоко. Searching for the former brings up no relevant results except for Olympedia (which also has the wrong name), searching for the latter brings up many: "Николай Атанасов-Джоко". I added some of the top results to the article, including significant newspaper coverage. I have fixed the name and will be voting to keep, though I will note that even if we weren't so lucky that Atanasov had a post-Internet career and his sources were easily searchable, he should have still been kept based on us knowing that the sources existed due to WP:NATH. --Habst (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep based on my reasoning above. --Habst (talk) 14:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I haven't evaluated the new Bulgarian sources added to the articlee. However, Habst's argument to nullify WP:SPORTCRIT, prong 5, lacks any basis. I drafted and proposed prong 5, and it was adopted with broad support on a community-wide RfA. It passed with knowledge that there is no general requirement that SIGCOOV actually be present in the article, but with the intention to create an exception in the case of sports biographies mandating the presence of at least one piece of SIGCOV and as a direct response to the flood of sports biographies (like the article under discussion) sourced only to databases. Unless SIGCOV is found and added, prong 5 is directly on point, and this article should not remain in main space (draftifiction until SIGCOV is found is another alternative). Cbl62 (talk) 14:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cbl62, thank you for your comment and I do greatly respect your contributions to policy. Wikipedia policy is, however, ultimately decided and enforced by consensus and not by any one person even if that person is the drafter and proposer of a policy.
    Per discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#What do we do when..., the "key change" in WP:NSPORTS2022 was the removal of participation-only criteria, which does not apply to the subject because he was a national champion. Furthermore, WP:BASIC can apply to a biography even if WP:SPORTCRIT would also apply, and WP:BASIC more univerally agreed-upon by community consensus than supplemental topic-specific guidelines.
    An example of a similar dynamic was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clive Sands, where it was argued that Sands should be deleted because he fails a supplemental guideline (WP:NSPORT) while passing a more general guideline (WP:GNG). This argument wasn't considered valid, because the more general guideline still applies. --Habst (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your one-man campaign for nullification of prong 5 is completely specious. The prong 5 proposal passed with the highest participation level and the largest majority of the votes. See closing comment: "This was the best-attended proposal and had the most agreement. There is a rough consensus that sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject. ... Supporters point out that it has the added benefit of reducing the number of one-sentence biographies based on database entries." So there you have it. You may not like prong 5, and you are free to start your own RfA to overturn it, but you can't just deny or nullify its clear language and force. Cbl62 (talk) 19:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbl62, thank you for your comment because I think debate makes Wikipedia better even when I do not agree. I actually do appreciate the value of prong 5 because I also don't want more one-sentence biographies only based on database entries; I just think it does not apply in this specific instance for the reasons above.
The point is moot anyways as there are several GNG sources both cited in the article and linked from the web search above, fulfilling the fifth prong. What do you think of the notability of the article on its own merits? --Habst (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also noting that the source dismissed as an "interview" above by TimothyBlue has over 100 words (WP:100WORDS), including calling him one of the best Bulgarian track athletes and Loved by some and reviled by others, Joko [Atanasov's nickname] is one of the most interesting and eccentric personalities – it is guaranteed that there is further coverage of this out there, but already we seem to have enough (expansion proves WP:NBASIC, plus the one random source I clicked on is WP:SPORTBASIC pass).

Draftify per nom request. Subject does not have the WP:SIGCOV right now to meet the WP:GNG. The sources are databases (1; 3-6), an interview (2) and brief coverage of routine events in which the subject was one participant (7 & 8).

@Let'srun, thank you for your vote because you have consistently challenged us to improve articles, and I think you have done a great service for Wikipedia. Can you please re-evaluate the following sources. I significantly improved the article by adding WP:THREE new sources. All three of these are only from the first page of Google search, so there is surely more to be found.

  2. "Николай Атанасов остана пети в скока на дължина". classa.bg (in Bulgarian).
  3. "Джоко с нов клуб". BGathletic.com (in Bulgarian).
@TimothyBlue, can you please review these sources as well. It is quite rare to see an elite long jumper born from a four-minute miler, and Joko has a very interesting story to be told if the sources are combed through more thoroughly. Thank you, --Habst (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct in that 100Words in an essay, but really, how in the world does that source not addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content?

  • Comment the de.wiki article isn’t well-founded at all. It has essentially the same refs as the en.wiki article - dead links to various things that don’t look like RIS, online databases of match reports that just list players and results with a name check for the referee. The only two reasonably substantive sources on de.wiki are (a) the same as source 12 on en.wiki (a short paragraph citing him) and (b) de.wiki source 3 which is a profile of him which is a blog post from the head ref welcoming him and thanking him. That is definitely not enough to build a biography article on. There is a complete lack of in-depth coverage in independent sources. Mccapra (talk) 13:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find any significant coverage of this bobsleigh athlete, even in Polish. The best I could find is biography, but I don't think the source is reliable. He also never had medal record.

It's also strange that the Polish Wikipedia is actually linked to basketball player of the same name and birth year, instead of the correct one. Corresponding article of bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is likewise a stub without major changes since its last editing in 2022: Neither of the two sources cover Pawel Mroz himself... only brief mentions. Otherwise, it would copy over English Wikipedia.

Given that bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is almost 40 years old, his career is probably over and he might never make anymore comeback in bobsleigh tournament.

    • The subject is the brother of Amaury Cordeel - notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. - 2A01:36D:1200:4672:DDA5:4C08:B8B6:3AA7 (talk) 19:01, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      WP:NOTINHERITED is not a guideline. glman (talk) 20:41, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Funny enough it even comes from the page Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. The person in question does not appear to have any significant coverage. Is anyone seeing any sources showing significant coverage? KeepItGoingForward (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - nominator has not provided any guideline or reasoning for deletion. glman (talk) 20:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While I agree the nominator should provide a more clear explanation, it does not appear Ghislain Cordeel meets notability requirements. Are you seeing otherwise? KeepItGoingForward (talk) 02:02, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • My only issue was that nobody has claimed that the subject is notable because of his brother - his brother was not even mentioned in the article. My agenda was to improve nomination statements in general. Geschichte (talk) 11:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Okay driver at best, that did well in some national series. Some feeder series, no so, nothing top level. No prejudice for a recreation in the future though if he has more significance in the future but I guess he'll be another run of the mill driver.
