[edit] Notability of footballers

To answer your question on this AfD, the discussion took place on the main WP:FOOTY page here in November after fizzling out it was restarted here in February. It was clear that criteria 1,2,3 & 7 were supported by the vast majority and moved to the WP:FOOTY/Notability page, which had remained blank for over 2 years. Criteria 4 was more contoversial, we agreed to move onto other topics with an understanding that we would reconsider Youth footballers at a later date (definately before the World Youth Cup in 2009). Unfortunately after the two lengthy and considered debates, the new criteria were immediately set upon and undermined by editors from WP:BIO, in my opinion a victory for maintaining the status-quo over reasoned debate and consensus between members of a specific project. The undermining of these criteria have dealt a huge blow to my faith in the Wikipedia project and led to my virtual withdrawal from WP:FOOTY and severaly damaged the chances of the Wikiproject moving on to define clear, unambiguous notability criteria for other parts of the game, (clubs, leagues, stadiums, managers, referees etc). It frustrates me that we spent so long discussing the new criteria in order to end "notability by precident" and resolve the "Anderlecht issue" you raised in this AfD yet all of that discussion and consensus building can be overruled by one sentence from WP:ATHLETE. Oh well, never mind, perhaps I should stick to creating articles & categories rather than consensus building. English peasant 19:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prods

Please check some of these articles that you are {{prod}}ding. At least three of them - Patrick Nyarko (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), Josh Lambo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), and Sean Franklin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - have already survived an AFD. (I didn't look at the others.) A prod is considered to be out of order for an article that has been AFD'd. If you do have a desire to re-AFD any of them, please do them separately. The big problem with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roger Espinoza is that it was considering a number of different players with varying degrees of notability. Patrick Nyarko, for example, has been the subject of multiple articles by multiple media outlets, even before being drafted. Some of the others got just a blurb or two when they were drafted. Having a joint AFD really makes it difficult to have a good discussion/evaluation of each article and the reliable sources available. --B (talk) 18:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, please link to previous AfDs when you start new ones. It's very misleading to give the impression that it's just been a Prod and to not give the AfD history; it's standard to post links to those. matt91486 (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yately Rd

I understand that you deleted my article on Yately Rd because because it provided little or no context to the reader. The Rd had been referenced from Herbert Tudor Buckland who was a famous architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. He is also credited with building the Elan Village at Elan Valley in Wales. Yately Rd contains the home he designed for himself and also others in the road. These are listed buildings, his own being Grade one listed. Can you reinstate Yately Rd as an article please.

From the Members

Welcome to the Sixth issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

Luckily, you all won't have to see my comments very often, as very little I have to say is really that important. But I would like to take the opportunity to say that I hope everyone finds the new General Forum page useful for discussing ideas relevant to Christianity in general, and feels free to make any additional comments regarding general Christianity there. Also, if any of you feel that you want to place a comment here in the future, please let us know what you want included. We would encourage all members to get more involved and if you are wondering what with, please ask. Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.
