Re: Danny Wright

The content of the article is not the issue here, but the subject of the article. In order to have an article on Wikipedia a subject must meet certain inclusion criteria. This is called notability. For footballers there are two relevant notability guidelines. The first is general notability guideline which says that any subject which has received significant coverage in reliable sources is notable. Routine sports coverage (i.e. match reports, transfer announcements, stats pages, player profiles), like what Mr. Wright has received, does not constitute significant coverage. The second is the football specific guideline which says that any footballer who has played in a fully professional league or for his country's national team is notable. For notability purposes, the WikiProject Football maintains a list of fully pro leagues found here. You'll note that only the top four divisions of English football are included. I hope that clears things up. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:23, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - Danny Wright has not received significant coverage in reliable sources (so fails WP:GNG) and he hasn't played in a fully-professional league (so fails WP:NFOOTBALL). Giant Snowman 08:39, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
