[edit] Diego Archer
OK, well, whilst he may well be an accomplished and experienced lawyer, I don't think that anything contained within the article put forward sufficient notability to merit inclusion- have a read of this guide to notability. GBT/C 07:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and having a username the same as the person you're writing about is pretty indicative of a conflict of interest which is generally a bit of a no-no. GBT/C 07:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- The theory could be interesting, but you need to be sure that it doesn't constitute original research - have a read of this page for information. I would be happy to send you a copy of what you wrote, but you need to enable email on your account (use the "my preferences" bit at the top of the screen). GBT/C 08:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'll email you the text shortly - no, you won't get spam (I, or any other user, can't see what your email address is - it's handled by Wikipedia itself). When you're replying to comments, please add your new comments below your old one (like I am on this page) - don't overwrite your old comments...it helps to see the threads of a conversation. GBT/C 08:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- And please don't add your comments at the top of the page - find the place on the page where your previous comments were and add them there. In answer to your question, that person is included because the consensus is that they satisfy the criteria of notability relating to sportsmen. GBT/C 08:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK - one more thing is that if you're writing on a talk page (of a user or an article) then it's good to sign your comments - just type in four tildes "~" at the end of your comment and the machine will automatically turn it into your signature. It makes it easier to see who said what. GBT/C 08:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Probably not - the precise criteria are "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a high-level, fully professional league (i.e. Major League Baseball, National Football League), or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis. Competitors and coaches who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them).". GBT/C 08:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well (a) I don't write the rules, and (b) if you don't like the article, propose it for deletion using one of the methods here. GBT/C 08:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Probably the best way to go about it is to create it as a sub-page of your userspace initially (so, for example, at User:Diegoarcher/Testing, then get a bit of input from other people as to its suitability, then move it across to the main space when it's ready.
