Notability requirements As part of Wikipedia, our project is required to abide by the notability guideline that apply to all articles. This section does not overrule or The basic tenent is: In regards to the notability of people there is an additional criteria (WP:ATHLETE) that states that "people who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport" are "generally notable". However, failure to meet this additional criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Should a person fail to meet this additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability. Australian rules football quiz Test your footy knowledge at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian rules football/Quiz Resources All-time Player stats All-time Player Lists Wikiproject Australian rules football style guide Wikiproject Australian rules football participants have agreed to the following standards of editorial style to maintain a consistent look and feel to Australian rules football and Australian Football League articles. The guidelines are in sympathy with the origins of the game and with encyclopaedic standards. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines wherever possible. When editing, this guide can be cited in the edit summary as "per Australian rules football style guide". Article club names: club article names and subsequent links to those articles should use official club titles as in Collingwood Football Club. Piped links can use Collingwood where applicable. Avoid using Collingwood Magpies as an article title. Category club names: category names should similarly use official club titles as in Category:Collingwood Football Club coaches. Unlinked references within articles can either use official club names, shortnames or club nicknames (eg. Magpies) according to the editors preference. When referring to a player from an earlier era, the club name used should be the name applicable for that player at that time. For example Ted Whitten played for Footscray Football Club (never Western Bulldogs). Use of redirects or piped links ([[Western Bulldogs|Footscray Football Club]]) to the current club name is acceptable. The main article for the sport is Australian rules football. Articles should not use the capitalisation Australian Rules Football. In tables or ladders, use of shortnames or nicknames or combinations of both are acceptable as follows: Club name Preferred shortname Preferred nickname/s Notes Adelaide Football Club Adelaide Crows Brisbane Lions Brisbane Lions Lions after 1996 Carlton Football Club Carlton Blues Collingwood Football Club Collingwood Magpies Do not use 'Pies' Essendon Football Club Essendon Bombers Fremantle Football Club Fremantle Dockers Geelong Football Club Geelong Cats Gold Coast Football Club Gold Coast Suns Avoid "the Gold Coast" Hawthorn Football Club Hawthorn Hawks North Melbourne Football Club North Melbourne Kangaroos Change to Kangaroos in 1999, back to North Melbourne for 2008 Melbourne Football Club Melbourne Demons Port Adelaide Football Club Port Adelaide Power Do not use "Port Power" Richmond Football Club Richmond Tigers Avoid "Richmond Tigers" St Kilda Football Club St Kilda Saints Avoid "St Kilda Saints", and any reference to "Saint Kilda", which is incorrect Sydney Swans Sydney Swans Avoid "Sydney Swans Football Club" West Coast Eagles West Coast Eagles Avoid "West Coast Eagles Football Club" and "the West Coast" Western Bulldogs Western Bulldogs Bulldogs Dogs or Doggies is unencyclopaedic, avoid "Western Bulldogs Football Club" Brisbane Bears Brisbane Bears Bears 1987–1996 Fitzroy Football Club Fitzroy Lions 1883–1996 South Melbourne Football Club South Melbourne Swans 1897–1982 Infoboxes Template:Infobox afl player NEW is the current accepted version for use on all player and coach articles.
