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:

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.
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.

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 other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sportspeople. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

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.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Ghana-related deletion discussions. OnionRing (talk) 12:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — This is a tricky one. The sole reference says that he formerly played for "Metro Stars", but doesn't say which one, and so far I've found three teams by that name in Ghana, in Kumasi, Tuba and Abura Dunkwa. The Abura Dunkwa Metro Stars are in the Ghanaian Division Two, which is a fully professional league. So in short, more references are needed to determine whether he's played professionally yet. Complicating this further, there's another, unrelated professional Ghanaian player named Eric Adu Poku. So if you're Googling for refs, be sure to include "-Poku" as a search term. I've come up empty-handed, but smarter people than me might do better. I can find no trace online of clubs called "Istanbul FC", or a "Dinh Doung". vi:Dinh dưỡng is Vietnamese for "nutrition". OnionRing (talk) 12:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As unverified. If he has played in a fully pro league, it is not confirmed in reliable source, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and there is no evidence of sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Additionally, the Ghana Division Two is not confirmed as a fully pro league (see WP:FPL). Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:00, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to find any coverage to verify if this individual actually exists never mind if he meets GNG.

The only reference there ever was is from a now defunct site and I can find no archived version. @Geregen2: can you find any sources for the player, because if one can be added, the player appears to pass WP:NFOOTY, Lada Togliatti were in the Russian second division when he played for the according to RSSSF, whilst Dinamo Omsk were in the third tier (RSSSF) as were Sibiryak Bratsk (RSSSF), all of which are listed as fully professional leagues.

Individual fails WP:GNG and WP:BASE/N. Sources cited do not establish notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He played minor league baseball in Germany and Israel? Also competed on Israel national team. He won a Gold Glove in the Israel Baseball League as the best defensive infielder.

Before the article is deleted, Nate Fish competed in the Israel Baseball League whose teams were coached by former Jewish MLB players ie. Art Shamsky, of the New York Mets, Ron Bloomberg of the New York Yankees,Major League Baseball's first designated hitter. The League Administration was led by Dan Duquette,Director of Operations who previously worked for the Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expos,currently works for the Baltimore Orioles.These individuals made an impact on the MLB on and off the field.

Do these count as reliable sources? They all describe the successful work Nate does of bringing baseball to Israel using the lessons of being an athlete and coach.These are some secondary sources which can be added. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6]

I think they're all reliable sources, but I don't think they establish notability. Many of them are brief mentions in passing, Maccabi USA is a primary source. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:54, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Undrafted college player of no particular accomplishments, the article doesn't merely falsely assert that the subject plays for the Edmonton Oilers, he was never drafted. Fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence he meets the GNG beyond routine sports coverage explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE. Article created by User talk:Drizzy85, whose talk page is studded by several dozen notifications of CSDs, prodding and AfDs of a raft of unreferenced one-sentence sub-stub creations. Ravenswing 09:50, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Although he was not drafted and has not yet played for Edmonton, he became a star his senior year, won the Frozen Four MVP award and has received significant coverage, far more than routine coverage that would typically attach to a run of the mill free agent signing. For example [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. There is also this which admittedly is not secondary coverage, but ncaa.com doesn't do features on just any college athlete. And an interview here.

List of bowlers with 5 or more ten-wicket hauls in Test cricket

An other sock creation with questionable notability. 5 ten-wicket hauls seems like an very arbitrary number and what says this is notable?

Keep a ten-wicket haul is a very significant thing to happen in a match and to get five in a career is a very significant thing. When someone gets one 10-wicket haul it is well reported and getting five is well reported. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:33, 8 June 2016 (UTC) Delete, after reading the opinions below, I now agree that this is a case of an arbitrary threshold which fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:23, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - to me the threshold is arbitrary which is the key. I can't find any generally accepted number of 10wm which is considered inherently notable so it's a clear delete for me. Note that this is not suggesting that a 10wm isn't notable at all - it is. But it's the number of times that seems to be arbitrary unless someone can show me where it is "well reported" in itself. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – ten-wicket match hauls, while often included on a player's statistical line, are a secondary statistic that tend not to get significant coverage in their own right – certainly not to the extent that overall wickets or five-wicket innings hauls gets. This, coupled with Blue Square Thing's comment that the threshold is arbitrary, makes this a clear delete for me. Aspirex (talk) 07:43, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I support the view that a ten-wicket haul is a significant feat - for a bowler it's akin to a batsman scoring a century. Like several other commenters my objection here is an arbitrary threshold. There is no special significance in a bowler taking five 10wm's as opposed to any other number. Bcp67 (talk) 12:02, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 10-wicket hauls are a feat, but the figure is arbitrary. Do any actual reliable sources make reference to the ampunt of 10wm that cricketers have? Think answer is no. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, media mention tend to be a sentence in an article about an individual winner of an OSHOF prize, or in an article about who won that year's prize. Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto are major cities, so it adds up to quite a lot of big-city daily coverage, although the award is only 3 years old.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: Hi E.M.Gregory, thanks for your comment. I apologize for the late reply since I'm still learning how to use the "talk" feature. I've added several independent sources to the article, check here: Toronto Star [13], Toronto Sun [14], ArgoAdmirals [15], Toronto Star [16], The Hamilton Spectator [17], Ottawa Citizen Sports Hall of Fame. The award recipients are high-profile members of sports media in Ontario, Canada. I believe there is enough to warrant a stand-alone article under WP:GNG. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks! Rajeevanm (talk) 05:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The sources you mention may constitute significant coverage of the OSHOF, but they do not constitute significant coverage of the Hawley Award.

@E.M.Gregory: Can you specify which of these articles you believe constitutes "significant" coverage of the Hamilton Award as opposed to a passing reference? Cbl62 (talk) 21:03, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These newspapers validate this award by covering it. I don't think that in this it is different from other journalism awards, and certainly seems similar to the Casey Award, and others in the category:Sports writing awards, which I just added to the article.E.M.Gregory (talk)

The standard under WP:GNG is that there needs to be "significant" coverage to warrant a stand-alone article. The sources mentioned amount to passing reference in broader discussion of the OSHOF, not "significant" coverage. Cbl62 (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62: With regards to your concern that there is a conflict of interest. Allow me to provide some background on the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame. The OSHOF is a volunteer, non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the history and feats of athletes within our province for the future generations. We don't have a charitable status nor do we receive any funding from the government at any level. All Board of Directors and committee members are volunteers. We don't receive any compensation and often times we pay out of pocket to manage small expenses. In fact, to preserve and honour what we set out to achieve, all volunteers (including me) pay for the tickets to our own events. As the director of marketing, it's my role to educate and embrace the younger people of Ontario on the achievements of our athletes - this often involves engaging audiences online (social media, wikipedia, and more). I can assure you this is a legitimate organization that has been operating since 1995 (I was born in 1990 so it's almost a lifetime lol). Rajeevanm (talk) 05:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is not whether or not OSHOF is a legitimate organization. The issue is your conflict as OSHOF marketing director in editing articles concerning OSHOF. You need to familiarize yourself with WP:COI and its disclosure obligations. Cbl62 (talk) 05:48, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, probably to Ontario Sports Hall of Fame (OSHOF) or to a new section in it. The award is a program of OSHOF. The current award article and the current OSHOF article are both short. If OSHOF is worth covering, and if the award is an important program of it, then it can be mentioned there. A redirect from the award to the organization can be left behind.

About COI, the Wikipedia policy/guideline at wp:COI used to be explicit in saying that a person with COI can edit, although they should be responsible, and they should defer to non-involved editors in the event of any conflict over content (e.g. they could make suggestions for article changes at the Talk page, but leave the implementation to others). In my view, COI problems are much less when the organization is nonprofit and the editor(s) are volunteers. Cbl62 and me are volunteers here, by the way. But still you have to understand that Wikipedia does have to have policy/guidelines about COI because wikipedia is otherwise over-run by COI editors, including paid editors (not the case here). --do ncr am 20:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's clean-up and then there's the fact that these articles currently fail to meet WP:GNG, which is the default standard of notability. I have no objection to this topic being on WP but I do believe articles need to meet some notability criteria. Currently that evidence is lacking. These last two sentences are why I suggested putting them in user space. Papaursa (talk) 00:17, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If the topic meets GNG that should be fine, regardless of the state of the article, which can be cleaned up. But so far no one has offered any evidence of coverage that would meet GNG. Rlendog (talk) 20:47, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Several notes about this, one is that there are claims of notability claims such as Mr. Universe but none of the sources are at all acceptably convincing and my searches are simply found nothing at all. I should also note the bodybuilding.com link is actually simply own his profile. SwisterTwister talk 23:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Failing WP:NHOCKEY by itself is not a valid reason to delete, since there are other ways a subject can attain notability, such as WP:GNG. And there is at least one substantial source in the article. Rlendog (talk) 13:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.. two time winner of the QMJHL scholastic player of the year..kinda a notable award Triggerbit (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't a notable award. Joeykai (talk) 23:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not by itself. But it generated at least one instance of significant coverage for the subject that is already included in the article. And there may be more, which is why it is particularly important to address GNG here. Rlendog (talk) 17:16, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you've found others, would you mind sharing them? Beyond that, I disagree with Triggerbit: this isn't a QMJHL award, and wouldn't be considered notable if it was. Ravenswing 13:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I have not found other instances of significant coverage, and apparently no one else has. The Guy Lafleur award itself does not meet NHOCKEY, and one article about winning the award is not enough to satisfy GNG. Rlendog (talk) 20:44, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete That award definitely is not a major award. And I can't find any significant coverage on the player. Fails to meet GNG or NHOCKEY. Nothing has changed significantly since the last nomination. Should have been a speedy. -DJSasso (talk) 12:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I agree that the subject fails to meet NHOCKEY and shows no evidence of meeting the GNG. The only cite from a reliable media source doesn't clear WP:ROUTINE. Ravenswing 13:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Has twice won a notable award (Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence) and has been the subject of in-depth coverage in several sources: [21] [22] [23] [24]. The subject has also been mentioned in numerous additional sources. Passes WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO.- Mr X 23:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Quite aside from that the notability of this award is suspect enough that I'm about to prod it -- only a handful of reliable sources even mention it, and not a single one gives the award "significant coverage" (as opposed to "Soandso is the 2014 winner etc") -- what notability criterion gives a presumptive pass for winning it? Moving on to your links, in order to meet the GNG, a subject must (a) receive "significant coverage" in (b) multiple (c) reliable sources which (d) do not constitute routine sports coverage of the sort explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE. Three of your four links are blog posts; all involve routine sports coverage. Mere mention in other sources, no matter how numerous, do not satisfy the GNG. Ravenswing 04:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If policy is supposed to describe how content is treated in practice, then widespread practice would show that many thousands of articles are based on sports news. Just the number of football player articles alone strongly supports that we would retain an article where the subject was noted for standing out from his peers.- Mr X 11:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're missing a crucial distinction: that the bar for sources supporting facts listed in an article is far lower than for those certifying the notability of the subject. A match report could verify that a player had reached a milestone in a particular game; a biographical webpage on the website of a subject's employer could verify a birthdate or spouse's name. We'd accept both for those purposes. We'd accept neither as evidence of the subject's notability.
Beyond that, it can't be news to you that notability criteria establish thresholds. A singer who won a local 'battle of the bands' competition certainly would have been "noted for standing out from her peers," but WP:MUSICBIO plainly sets forth that what consensus holds to be a significant award for notability purposes is a Grammy nomination or thereabouts. By contrast, "standing out from one's peers" (which is entirely subjective) forms no part of any NSPORTS criteria. Competing at the top levels of performance does. Gregoire didn't win a major NHL trophy; he won, frankly, a minor award for academic achievement, unsanctioned by any league, and did so as a teenage amateur.
Ultimately, though, this is looking like a smokescreen. If Gregoire was truly notable, there'd be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources saying so. If you're convinced of his notability, you should be able to produce such qualifying sources, and I'll be pleased to change my vote if you do. Ravenswing 12:26, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I meant to comment sooner especially no one else had, there:s simply nothing, regardless of any notable awards, at best confidently suggesting keeping as his own article. This would at best be better linked to his best known work instead. SwisterTwister talk 07:49, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
