FAR for Cliff Clinkscales

I have nominated Cliff Clinkscales for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm _Talk 21:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

One thing I noticed was the article was not up to date. Clinkscales last played in 2020 and his former team has folded. He was announced as an assistant coach for the KW Titans on Christmas Eve. I updated all this but you may want to copyedit what I wrote. Rikster2 (talk) 22:46, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Dandenong Rangers or Southside Flyers

While reading about Alison Downie, I came to the page Dandenong Rangers, which seems to have been rebranded to the Southside Flyers. I was wondering if this shouldn't be merged to one page as it is the same team and the Flyers seem to consider Rangers' history as their own? --SuperJew (talk) 21:21, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

RfC to abolish NHOOPS

There is currently pending at RfC: Abolish the current version of NSPORTS a proposal to eliminate NSPORTS, including WP:NHOOPS. Feel free to weigh in there if you have thoughts on the issue. Cbl62 (talk) 02:30, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Pending proposal to declare NSPORTS (and NBASKETBALL) an invalid argument at AfD

A new proposal is now pending to add language to NSPORT (and no other SNG) providing, among other things, that "meeting [NSPORTS or NBASKETBALL] would not serve as a valid keep argument in a deletion discussion." The new proposal is targeted solely at NSPORTS and would not impose similar changes on SNGs for academics, entertainers, politicians, businessmen, or any other group or category. If you have views on this proposal, one way or the other, please feel free to add your comments at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Subproposal 1 (NSPORT). Cbl62 (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Village pump proposals

There are several proposals located at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability to either abolish or significantly rewrite WP:NSPORT which may be of interest to this project's editors. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

To be more specific, there are multiple pending proposals that would significantly alter NSPORTS/NHOOPS, including the following:

• Subproposal 1: Requiring that "all athlete biographies must demonstrate GNG when notability is challenged at AfD" and that SIGCOV in multiple sources would have to be produced during the course of the AfD.
• Subproposal 3: Eliminates any portions of NSPORTS that are based on mere "participation". Among other things, Subproposal 3 would repeal prong 1 of WP:NHOOPS.
• Subproposal 5: Implements a requirement that all sports biographies and team/season articles must, from inception, include at least one example of actual SIGCOV.
• Subproposal 8: Eliminates the presumption of notability from NSPORTS. Cbl62 (talk) 21:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
