This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sports. 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|Sports|~~~~}} 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 Sports.
- 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.

No indication of notability - fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Not one of the sources satisfies the independent, reliable and significant coverage requirement. Source analysis: 1, 5, 8, 10 are articles written by Freedman himself; 2 talks about how his phone started buzzing and him doing some interviews; 3, 4 are interviews of him with no editorial content; 6 is about his tweets, plus Sportskeeda is unreliable for notability purposes; 7 covers someone else's reply to his tweet; 9 is an opinion piece on an unreliable site which essentially says that his tweets are funny. A WP:BEFORE search turned up more such trivial coverage. Maduant (talk) 20:01, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Sportskeeda[edit]
- Sportskeeda (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- Fails GNG and NCORP as none of the sources meets the requirements of "subject needs to have significant coverage by independent, reliable sources where by the source talks about the the subejct in depth and in lenght and not only passing mentioned.
1. livemint info from interview which makes the source not independent 2. exchange4media interview peice from the CEO of the company which makes the source unreliable. 3.gadgets360 - Just a sentence mentioned of the company. 4. the print - a press release article 5.timesofindia - advertising content of the company 6. the indus bussinessline - could not able to read the whole article, but the source covers only 5 areas - company, market, options, portfolio and economy and have member subscription - does not look reliable source to me.

Non-notable cross-categorization and synthesis to combine the results of team ball sports and not other Olympic sports. I'm a bit confused by the article because each sport has achievements for both the Olympics and other world championships, which furthers the oddity of combining ice hockey and water polo in one list. Moreover, it's largely duplicative of pages like Major achievements in basketball by nation and Major achievements in baseball and softball by nation, so there's no need to combine these tables here.

- Rewrite into a list of articles. The scope of this article seems weird, as there doesn't seem to be many instances where different countries' achievements in all ball sports are being discussed and compared together. Nevertheless, I think it might have some value as a directory to articles like Major achievements in baseball and softball by nation and Major achievements in basketball by nation. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 20:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Tutwakhamoe Already exists at List of major achievements in sports by nation. Reywas92Talk 22:08, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete There's not much of a guide to interpreting the tables, and once you've worked it out, it's clear this is basically a content fork as described in the nom - lists of major achievements that don't relate to a single sport of country are generally dubious, but being so specific here is just strange. Perhaps ping the main editors and offer draftification in case they want to make something useful from the data? (edit conflict) Or per the above suggestion. Kingsif (talk) 20:38, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. A strange cross-categorisation for an article and as noted above similar content already exists elsewhere. Ajf773 (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete if there's encyclopedic content for specific sports, then articles for those sports can be created. But this catch all article for "ball sports" is not needed. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:44, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

While the topic of ski films is notable, this seems to be an indiscriminate list and it seems doubtful that the references could justify a list of films that happen to feature a skiing scene. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Film, Sports, and Lists. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:DELREASON#14:
Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia
. Specifically, this is entirely WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is such a self-evidently misguided idea for an article that I got curious as to how it came about. It should come as no surprise that it was created as an effort to clean up the ski film article of a bunch of poor content that did not belong there by moving it to a different article. Of course, the proper course of action would have been to simply remove the poor content; as the essay WP:CARGO says:Moving bad content into a separate standalone article does not get rid of the bad content.
TompaDompa (talk) 20:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC) - Strong delete bizarrely arbitrary topic for an article if there ever was one. What about “list of mainstream films with chess-playing scenes”? Or “list of non-Western genre, non-equestrian-sport films to feature horse riding in some form”? Dronebogus (talk) 10:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep but raise the criterion bar to films about these sports and rename List of skiing and snowboarding films; possibly split in two. Both sports satisfy WP:NLIST: "The Best Ski And Snowboard Films Of 2022-23 You May Have Missed" (Forbes), 13 Movies About Skiing You Absolutely Need to Watch This Winter (Yahoo Sports), etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- That would change both the scope/contents and the title, which says something about the lack of viability of the current article. I would suggest that it would be better to start over, based on sources, rather than trying to add sources to a bunch of WP:Original research—the latter approach has a tendency to result in very poor quality articles indeed, just complete messes. If sources discuss the portrayal of skiing in films more than they discuss the films themselves, it might be more appropriate to create an article on skiing in film. Another option might be to cover films about skiing in the already-existing ski film article in a manner similar to how it's done at surf film (if sources do likewise). TompaDompa (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. I don't see how it is encyclopedic to list films where there is a mere few minutes of skiing in it. As mentioned above, a list of films where skiing is the primary focus, would be ok, but not built from this list. Ajf773 (talk) 02:23, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

This footballer article was created under the old NFOOTY guidelines. He played 8 minutes in the Scottish Championship and spent some time on loan but he has not had a club for five years and appears to have fallen out of football.

- Keep - This is essentially a list. The article kind of has to be as it is. How would this be fit into (Badminton at the 1975 SEAP Games) considering no other match results are listed there? The fact that we have any sources at all on this is a feat. KatoKungLee (talk) 00:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- This is not a valid keep reason. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:39, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Sportsfan 1234 - The results are all sourced and we can assume there's more out there, but we also know we have limited access to it currently. How would this fit any other way? There's also some additiona references listed on the German page of the competition - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCdostasienspiele_1975/Badminton. KatoKungLee (talk) 00:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- This is not a valid keep reason. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:39, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, it's common practice to create separate pages for individual and team events to remove burden on the main page. See other SEA Games Badminton articles where singles, doubles, team all have distinct articles. You can find more sources when searching for this subject in NewspaperSG. This is a page related to Southeast Asian Games, where badminton is a hugely popular sport and the mass reporting was done on local newspapers, some of which are available at newspapersg. So when you say that this is an "indiscriminate" collection of facts, you are completely wrong. It has a high importance when looking it from the view of Badminton World, being a significant regional event. zoglophie 06:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

WP:NOTDATABASE - little information exists, that which exist is a line in an external database which WP simply repeats. Nothing appears to exist which shows why this person was notable. JMWt (talk) 10:46, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sports, Cricket, and England. JMWt (talk) 10:46, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- At worst this is a clear redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825), but I'll note immediately that the Cambridge source notes that his death, presumably, was noted in the Gentlemen's Magazine and also references another source. We're headed into NEXIST territory here - chances are as well that as a clergyman that there is a reasonable chance that other sources also exist. I've no idea how much detail Haygarth includes on him - we'd need an IP to come along and check for us probably. I'm not necessarily unhappy with a redirect - more detail can be added to the table - but I'd like to see what else we can find first - he'll also be in the Eton Register, for example. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

- We need RS that can be verified WP:V. Not ones that you postulate exist and therefore show notability. JMWt (talk) 08:29, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Verification isn't a problem - we know that he existed and what he did. WP:NEXIST is a reasonable call at this point given the references in the Ac Cam source that wjemather dug out and the fact that he was a clergyman which sometimes means we get half decent biographies - and it does rather depend on what exactly it says in Haygarth: is there a biography of him or does it simply list him on a scorecard? I won't have a chance to hit some archives on this for a little while and can't access Haygarth, but it's possible something might pop up - but I don't think there's any doubt that there will be sources there. The Gents Mag is sometimes accessible online - have you checked the ref that Ac Cam has on him from there? Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not doubting your knowledge. I'm saying that without being able to look at them, we can't tell if they show notability. Not every person that went to Eton is notable, not every clergyman is notable, not everyone who has a write-up in Gentleman's Magazine is notable. Unless we look at the sources, how can we possibly know what they say - they may in fact be a passing mention. JMWt (talk) 10:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- The relevant volume of The Gentleman's Magazine is available via Google Books ([1]). In the "clergy deceased" section, it contains the exactly same simple one-line death notice that was published in various newspapers at the time; nothing more. Other newspaper mentions are trivial (ordination listing, involvement in an old Etonians vs Gentlemen of England cricket match, his children's marriage announcement, etc.). Given what I've managed to find, I really don't see any merit to the claim/optimism that sources with significant coverage exist elsewhere. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Frank Anchor 17:59, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Of those sources, only the "bleacherreport" appears to contribute to GNG. The others clearly don't; both "247sports" and "as" are lists that lack WP:SIGCOV of the topic. The draft report currently in the article is the same. BilledMammal (talk) 21:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- NLIST does not require the sources contribute to GNG. It explains that
One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources

- Note from the creator. Keep. BilledMammal, I think you are confusing WP:NLIST and WP:GNG and you have yet to make a case as to why this article, or other similar list articles, are not notable. WP:GNG is a handbook for general notability, while WP:NLIST is more specific to lists and I have seen has a somewhat lower standard. Why is this Harvard list of draftees not notable, but others are? Also, all of the linked sources mentioned above by User:Frank Anchor do relate to the article and abide by WP:NLIST and WP:GNG. Please state a case as to why it should be removed beyond your opinion that it is not notable. Debartolo2917 (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- The others aren't relevant to this discussion; WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST. The sources provided by Frank Anchor relate to the article, but of the four (including the one currently in the article) three are only lists of players from the Harvard Crimsons who joined the NFL. Such lists aren't WP:SIGCOV and don't contribute to notability; unless you can find another source like the bleacherreport one we cannot keep this article.

None of the cited sources mention the word "zone". I get that Europe/Africa is a zone, and that there are groups and pools, but how much of that should we be treating as proper names?

I don't believe this former Olympian has enough notability for a standalone article. There are some small pieces online relating to his coaching career and brief mentions in newspaper archives. But nothing I can find contributes to GNG.

- All of these sources discuss, although admittedly do not feature, him and his fencing, and I believe that, given their span and sustained coverage, it should satisfy the general guidelines at WP:N. If I had more time, I might be able to overcome the search engine issues - and it doesn't help that there was a footballer active at the same time with the same name - but hopefully this is sufficient to at least keep the article.

Just to make sure you're applying the guideline correctly, since I've seen you quote that line in a few deletion discussions and it doesn't have anything to do with N.

Non-notable player, even by the somewhat more lax standards of the old WP:NSPORT (and definitely not by the new). Only news pre-death seem to be his signing which is routine/WP:MILL coverage. The contesting of the PROD initially placed on the article would seem to indicate that because of his manner of death he is notable, but I would counter that it would then be a borderline BLP1E case if the only significant coverage is for that single event.

. The above sources are independent and reliable and discuss the players as a group While some some may or may not be significant, that is not relevant to NLIST. Frank Anchor 12:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- NLIST does not require the sources contribute to GNG. It explains that
- Of those sources, only the "bleacherreport" appears to contribute to GNG. The others clearly don't; both "247sports" and "as" are lists that lack WP:SIGCOV of the topic. The draft report currently in the article is the same. BilledMammal (talk) 21:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note from the creator. Keep. BilledMammal, I think you are confusing WP:NLIST and WP:GNG and you have yet to make a case as to why this article, or other similar list articles, are not notable. WP:GNG is a handbook for general notability, while WP:NLIST is more specific to lists and I have seen has a somewhat lower standard. Why is this Harvard list of draftees not notable, but others are? Also, all of the linked sources mentioned above by User:Frank Anchor do relate to the article and abide by WP:NLIST and WP:GNG. Please state a case as to why it should be removed beyond your opinion that it is not notable. Debartolo2917 (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- The others aren't relevant to this discussion; WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST. The sources provided by Frank Anchor relate to the article, but of the four (including the one currently in the article) three are only lists of players from the Harvard Crimsons who joined the NFL. Such lists aren't WP:SIGCOV and don't contribute to notability; unless you can find another source like the bleacherreport one we cannot keep this article.

Non-notable athlete, never played professionally. Was unable to find WP:SIGCOV. Contested PROD. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:40, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople and American football. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:40, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. So here's what I found: an arguably SIGCOV piece from the KC Star here on a heart attack he suffered in training camp (the Sporting News also ran a story on it); then there's several pieces from Chiefs Digest (1 2) – I think this could be considered reliable because it seems they do have a staff and some of their stories are reprinted in The Topeka Capital-Journal, a newspaper that's definitely a reliable source; the Capital-Journal also has a brief piece on him here; several brief pieces from SB Nation: 1 2;
and, looking at ProQuest I see a piece that looks highly likely to be SIGCOV, although it only gives me an abstract: Tavon rooks thought draft call was a prank, but he's ready to 'compete' – Times-Picayune (and several other potentially SIGCOV pieces from that paper: 1 2).So in all, for a guy who was selected in a recent (2014) NFL Draft, I do think we have enough for a weak keep, although I admit I expected to find more coverage than this.

- Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO. Two sources in article are short routine sports news pieces about draffs and one about a health issue. The two refs mentioned above that are not in the article are also mentions, nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing wth subject directly and indepth from IS RS. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 18:55, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

- @JoelleJay: It sounds like they've got professional journalists, see for example this writer who also worked for SI and the Washington Times and this one for the Times-Picayune, The Kansas City Star and Associated Press. There's an article here titled "Topeka Capital-Journal, ChiefsDigest.com join forces" but its paywalled. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:07, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- That does not say Derrick worked for SI or WT, it just says "as seen in". His LinkedIn shows he only worked as a media content marketer/PR person before joining ChiefsDigest. While Teope is a legit journalist, according to the CJOnline article the partnership with TCJ only consisted of CD content being accessible from CJO and "available for publication" in TCJ, there is no indication it was under editorial supervision from TCJ.

- Well even if it is not under supervision, the story under discussion was written by Teope so surely that one could be considered reliable, no? BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- It would still fall under SPS, and per BLPSPS even expert SPS published in conjunction with news orgs cannot be used on BLPs if they aren't under the newspaper's editorial control:
Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control.

Marked for speedy deletion under category A10 as previous article, simply titled Bryce James is a redirect to his father LeBron James.

- Delete coverage is typical of this [6]. The kid is 15 yrs old, he likely won't be notable until at least college, other than having a famous father, that's about all there is. Oaktree b (talk) 16:53, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- The article from The Sporting News is a secondary source that is independent of the subject, addresses it directly and in detail and is as far as I know from a reliable publication. That is, it is significant coverage. That said, GNG requires multiple SIGCOV over a sufficiently significant period of time which might be difficult for him to pass since coverage about him seems to have started around the second half of last year. As it stands, the best course of action would probably be to move the article to Bryce James (common name) and then redirect it to his father to preserve the article history since there is every indication that he will soon be notable enough to have an article. Plus, redirects are WP:CHEAP. Alvaldi (talk) 19:42, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

- The most impressive things I see are his Scholarship and his father. I don’t see anything along the lines of when he was a sophomore, he became his school’s highest scorer, he was the MVP of the state championship tourney and the third leading scorer or rebounder. What is mentioned, like the scholarship offer, is no different than thousands of other athletes. BostonMensa (talk) 18:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Please specify what makes you think he is more notable than the high school athletes closest to where you live. BostonMensa (talk) 18:36, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- He is more notable than other local high school athletes because he's being reported on by multiple reliable sources. Sure, not necessarily because of his accomplishments but WP:GNG doesn't care about that. ~Kvng (talk) 14:54, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Seems flimsy argument at best. What I see here is he getting this attention because who is father is and I lost track of how many times people have said notability is not inherited. As far as I am concerned, it is about what he has accomplished, in this case on the basketball court and not the luck of the cosmic drawer on who his father is. I don’t see basketball accomplishments that make him as or more notable than his peers. 23:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC) BostonMensa (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- You don't seem to disagree that he's received media attention. Sorry you don't like WP:BASIC. WP:INHERIT is about subjects that have not received their own coverage but are associated (e.g. by marriage, birth, etc.) with a notable subject.

Seemingly NN cricket player whose only claim of importance as allegedly having played only one "First-class cricket" match in 1829. Even this claim of importance seems improbable, since the term didn't come into use as defined today until May 1894. Toddst1 (talk) 15:42, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect. These kind of nominations are very tedious for all concerned. If a thorough WP:BEFORE has been conducted and no in-depth sources can be found, then WP:BOLD should be the way to go and in this case, redirected to List of English cricketers (1826–1840). PRODing or AfDing the article isn't really a constructive use of everyone's time, including the nominators. StickyWicket (talk) 16:07, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Cricket, and England. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. First-class cricket was officially adopted as the term to describe major cricket in May 1894 by the MCC, though limited to matches in the United Kingdom. In 1947, the term was further defined by the ICC to encompass matches outside the United Kingdom, with individual cricket boards of the Test playing nations having the power to grant first-class status to matches (which remains the case to this day amongst the now 12 Full Members of the ICC). It is worth noting that the 1947 definition does not provide retrospective first-class status to pre-1894 matches, however, more recently the ICC allowed the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians to retrospectively apply first-class status to matches before 1894. Therefore, the first ever first-class match is retrospectively dated as Hampshire v England in 1772. So this player and the team he played for are first-class. So that part of the nomination is incorrect. StickyWicket (talk) 16:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

- At worst this is a clear redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825), but I'll note immediately that the Cambridge source notes that his death, presumably, was noted in the Gentlemen's Magazine and also references another source. We're headed into NEXIST territory here - chances are as well that as a clergyman that there is a reasonable chance that other sources also exist. I've no idea how much detail Haygarth includes on him - we'd need an IP to come along and check for us probably. I'm not necessarily unhappy with a redirect - more detail can be added to the table - but I'd like to see what else we can find first - he'll also be in the Eton Register, for example.

- Verification isn't a problem - we know that he existed and what he did. WP:NEXIST is a reasonable call at this point given the references in the Ac Cam source that wjemather dug out and the fact that he was a clergyman which sometimes means we get half decent biographies - and it does rather depend on what exactly it says in Haygarth: is there a biography of him or does it simply list him on a scorecard? I won't have a chance to hit some archives on this for a little while and can't access Haygarth, but it's possible something might pop up - but I don't think there's any doubt that there will be sources there. The Gents Mag is sometimes accessible online - have you checked the ref that Ac Cam has on him from there? Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not doubting your knowledge. I'm saying that without being able to look at them, we can't tell if they show notability. Not every person that went to Eton is notable, not every clergyman is notable, not everyone who has a write-up in Gentleman's Magazine is notable. Unless we look at the sources, how can we possibly know what they say - they may in fact be a passing mention. JMWt (talk) 10:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- The relevant volume of The Gentleman's Magazine is available via Google Books ([7]). In the "clergy deceased" section, it contains the exactly same simple one-line death notice that was published in various newspapers at the time; nothing more. Other newspaper mentions are trivial (ordination listing, involvement in an old Etonians vs Gentlemen of England cricket match, his children's marriage announcement, etc.). Given what I've managed to find, I really don't see any merit to the claim/optimism that sources with significant coverage exist elsewhere. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

There are over 100 newspaper database matches for Dziewialtowski, but apart from a couple of paragraphs in the Aberdeen Evening Express for 26 November 1997, I couldn't find anything that amounts to more than brief, routine coverage of results. Looks to me like he fails to meet WP:GNG. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Sportspeople, Cue sports, and Scotland. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - going by newspaper coverage alone, you might have a point...but if we take Dziewialtowski as failing WP:GNG, I feel we will need to apply this to about half of all snooker player articles we have on Wikipedia. I'm happy to contribute to that process if that is the route we choose to take, but I believe it would be counter-productive to our aim of increasing the coverage of snooker here. I take the view that he meets the criteria for notability established here - [8] - having been ranked 68 at one point during a career lasting twelve years, and having been a quarter-finalist in a major tournament, the 1997 UK Championship. It's regrettable that there was only a passing mention of that achievement, but in my view, this should not detract from the fact that such an achievement - coupled with his albeit moderate career success - is sufficient for him to be notable here. Montgomery15 (talk) 20:48, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Montgomery15: I sympathise with your view but I don't think it accords with policy. Wikipedia:Notability (sports), which links to the page you mention, states that "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it." Near the top of the page that you link to, it says "Please note that the wikiproject advice below... should not be relied upon in the article deletion process, which is subject to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not wikiproject recommendations." If you know of any other coverage in reliable sources about Dziewialtowski, such as in books or other media, please share the details. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:36, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

WP:BLP clearly states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 21:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Keep per WP:NCYC bullet point 5. Won a UCI category race (minimum classification 1.1 / 2.1, including Continental and National Championships).
I am confident in SIGCOV as the sources used were enough to back up this article. WP:NBIO may be not satisfied but that is off the plate, as more adequate guidelines exist for sportspeople. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:D480:5FD5:9310:3BA4 (talk) 03:49, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Same sort of case as Isus Angelov. There are trivial mentions in a few places but nothing that can be considered as WP:SIGCOV. Beysim doesn't seem to even meet the minimum of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. All 4 references used are trivial mentions. My own searches yielded more of the same. Gong mentions the player in two lists but does not address him in depth. Blitz merely says Besim Besim scored the only goal in the 85th minute. Xnews is just a simple passing mention in a match report. Those were the best sources that I could find.

Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 2023 MNL statistics. Unnecessary WP:NOTSTATS article.
Excessive listing of stats in addition to 2020 Myanmar National League, which is already significant enough on its own in terms of stats and we do not need any more stats articles on this subject. This article exhaustively lists every single goal scorer, assist and clean sheet in the entire season, which is too much in my view. For seasons of other leagues, the agreed standard is to have a separate section of the main season article dedicated to stats and only listing the goal scorers and clean sheets above a sensible cut-off point.
See 2019–20 Premier League#Season statistics and 2019–20 Serie A#Season statistics as model examples of how this should look. 2020 Myanmar National League is fine as it is and this redundant extra stats article can just be deleted as there is no consensus that these are necessary.

Was previously sent to draft at Draft:Stavros Georgiou (footballer, born 2004) and then submitted and declined with no improvement. This current version also doesn't address the issues and the subject still looks to fall short of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best sources that I could find in Greek were Alpha News, a copy and paste of a contract renewal press release issued by his employer, APOEL. Sport FM is also the same thing as above. Thema Sports mentions him in an under-19 match report, commenting that he scored 3 goals but the article does not address Georgiou in enough detail to build a meaningful biography.

Articles that just copy a press release from his employer are not examples of significant, independent coverage. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Declined a few times at Draft:Ioannis Tsoutsouki and this current version is no improvement. No evidence of WP:GNG or even the low bar of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 when searching in Greek (Ιωάννης Τσουτσούκης or Ιωάννης Τσουτσούκη). Phile News mentions him twice in an article based on an Instagram post from his employer. Sigma Live mentions him once, commenting that he has debuted. Kerkida (translated) mentions that he scored 4 goals in an under-19 fixture, without adding any further depth at all. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:50, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
