Notability per WP:ANYBIO seems doubtful. Created by single-purpose account DigitalWikiMan (subject's start-up company is named "Digital Wingman"), which makes it even more fishy. bender235 (talk) 23:30, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search and isn't listed at MobyGames (our best index of offline game reviews). czar 22:58, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as my searches found nothing better and this current article is not better convincing. SwisterTwister talk 06:38, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. There are too many relevant-looking hits at Google Books for me to feel comfortable in saying that it should be deleted. Here's a sampling: Computer simulations: a source book to learning in an electronic environment (Garland Publishing), which looks like it may have an entire chapter on the game; this article from InCider magazine, which looks like it has a review; Educational Computing: A Guide to Practical Applications (Gorsuch Scarisbrick), which looks to discuss it, albeit on a single page; this article in Kiplinger's Personal Finance of all things; and this article in InfoWorld. Gorsuch Scarisbrick seems to be part of Pearson Education. These aren't great results, but they did give me hope. I searched archive.org, and I found even more reviews. I'm not entirely sure I can link to them, because they seem like they might be copyright violations.

I'm the creator of the page. I don't know how to do this talk thingy, it would be way easier if there was a private messaging system. Anyways, TJ Harris formed one band, then joined another, plus did multiple solo performances, and has also performed with other bands like Relentless Flood. He is independently notable. His discography is massive so far. Him and his band have been nominated for a Grammy once. I feel the page should stay up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 18:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Torn/Push This passes a measure used by MUSICBIO, where he has been part of two notable bands, while I cannot see much if any general notability with regards to coverage of him individually. This is a push, unless you can find some more sources, and this makes me torn with respect to this article being included in this encyclopedia.The Cross Bearer (talk) 06:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm new to Wikipedia, plus I don't have a good vocabulary. But, I am most definitely not exaggerating his achievements. He has been the front of two bands, plus, he plays multiple instruments. He has been signed by multiple record labels, plus has performed with another band as a featured artist. Massive discography, massive history, massive amount of band and solo performances. It's all over YouTube. Plus, he has also performed live on a radio station, Air1. I don't know what exactly I can do to ensure that this article won't be taken down. Once again, I am new to Wikipedia and everything, so technical terms aren't my strong point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I am going to help you understand, the Jesus Freak Hideout interview is one source for notability, and it is in the article. We have a second source, from Singing Success, that builds upon the previous article to increase coverage. We have a third source but all I can get is the link to show they interviewed him at Christian Music Review, for their Kingdom Builder series. I would say with these three sources he passes general notability, which would allow for the creation of his article on this encyclopedia, so now we should keep the article.The Cross Bearer (talk) 09:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
I already knew about the Singing Success source and was gonna add it later. But it's good you know about that too. I'm trying to finish his "Decyfer Down" section first. Then, I could add his notable instruments, and that he endorses Singing Success. I've gotta type it in a uniform manner, which I'll do really soon. My apologies for the delay, I'm in the middle of my exams which are about to end this week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:16, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- You have to start illustrating and proving notability before just throwing up articles, or more of your new pages, articles, and entries will be PRODed or AfDed (e.g. what this discussion going on is called). I would like you to create better articles, so this does not happen time-and-time again. I am more than excited you come to edit this encyclopedia in the Christian music project.The Cross Bearer (talk • contribs) 11:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
I've added information regarding his solo performance of his own single "Walk Love", at Liberty University Convocation. Don't know how to go about adding Singing Success and that Kingdom Builder interview. Thanks for the advice, and please do suggest a good way of adding those two, if you can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 13:34, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- I integrated it into the article, where now you can see how to do it for yourself in future instances.The Cross Bearer (talk | contribs) 03:50, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the help pal. I made some corrections, added a bit more detail to the info as Harris and I are directly in contact, plus I have cited sources anyways to prove my edits. I hope that the article won't be deleted anymore. Please delete the notice if this article is no longer being considered as an 'article for deletion'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 07:24, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Ummm....The Cross Bearer assured that after we integrate Singing Success and the Kingdom Builder interview in the article, TJ Harris will have passed all required criteria for having an individual article. So, why is the notice still on the page? Is there any requirement not fulfilled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaggoner (talk • contribs) 13:34, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. I'd suggest an A7 nomination, but the film festival appearance puts it just above the notability threshold for speedy deletion criteria - which only requires that there be something that could assert that there is coverage out there. However it doesn't pass overall notability criteria for films, as film festival appearances do not give notability and a search did not produce any RS that would establish notability.

- Redirect Having given the thing a face-lift and having watched the film, it would seem to be a decent interpretation of the Liam O'Flaherty short story "The Sniper". As this is sourcable, I believe a redirect and sourced mention in the story article is sensible. If it ever gains notability enough for a separate article, this can always be resurrected.

We could do with more on what he did for the next 58 years of his life (no RS on that, and the sources I've seen don't mention his profession or family), but I think notability is just about established anyway. Blythwood (talk) 04:12, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep, largely per the sources added by Blythwood. I'm not sure what criteria the editors who established the WP:SOLDIER criteria would consider a "significant military event" (even the conversation linked to at SOLDIER doesn't discuss that), but the subject does appear to have played an important role in Operation Gambit, and so could potentially meet SOLDIER criteria #5.

In terms of online sources, I found nothing for this actor/producer beyond his IMDb entry and two passing mentions in reviews of the 2012 film Foxfur (itself of questionable notability). Fundamentally, he falls short of the basic notability criterion and judging by the IMDb entry, he also falls short of the the actor-specific criteria. Pichpich (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as not convincing of any notability yet. SwisterTwister talk 01:23, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I couldn't find anything via a search to show that this publisher is ultimately notable. None of their works seem to have gained any sort of coverage, nor has the company itself. As far as the article claims and sourcing goes, the sourcing is almost all primary in one format or another. None of the claims are the type that would give notability as the publisher does not inherit notability from being associated with notable persons and the other claims are fairly misleading. Just about any publisher can get a booth at BEA - the only true requirements center around their ability to pay and whether or not they sign up in time. The BEA booklet mention appears to be just a booth listing and an advert - both of which are things that any conference worth their salt would offer to people paying to exhibit. Even if there was an article on the publisher (which does not appear to be the case) it would still be considered a primary source since articles of that nature are meant to promote features of the conference. The claim of recognition from other publishers doesn't really do anything since it's only sourced to the SwordPen website and looks to be the same as a book blurb, which cannot show notability since it's the type of offhand statement issued in order to promote something and is also not easily verified. The mention in Baby & Kids is a reprint of a press release, so that's primary as well. The only non-primary sources are e-commerce sites (which do not belong in an article at all), a legal filing (which could be argued as primary), and a trademark listing (which could also be argued as primary). If not for the link to Barnett, I'd say that this could actually be speedied as A7. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete, does not meet WP:ORG. Have been unable to find any reliable sources that assist for notability. The books listed on its website do not appear to be notable either as I have been unable to find any useable reviews for them either; they have been authored by two people, this publisher appears to be a marketing/promotional vehicle for their products. Wiki is not. Coolabahapple (talk) 15:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Please do not deleteHello very-helpful mods! This is the OP of the SwordPen Publishers page. Firstly, as per Wikipedia's guidelines, SwordPen is indeed a company ([[6]])) and is a notable children's book publishing company as well. To Tokyogirl: Being in the BEA is not as trivial as it sounds; the BEA checks out each booth to confirm they are indeed a legitimate publisher. In fact, SwordPen is part of Ingram distributors as well. Furthermore, a legal filing is public knowledge, and is as unbiased and third-party a document as you can get.
I have also added the sources from The Asia Foundation that SP donated to, as well as the lawsuit between SP and Henry Holt, which is backed by DWT, one of the most prestigious law firms in the world.
I am more than happy to provide any and all evidence needed to create a SwordPen page. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask me. I know this company, but I am not being paid to post on Wikipedia. It is a notable and up-and-coming publishing company. Thank you all. Please forgive my less-than-perfect Wiki-etiquette, as I am learning the ropes :).

- I've looked through my magazine archive from those days and either the 1976-77 dates are total red herrings, or else the corporation existed but did not market their products to the general public. Bryan Ansell's corporation in 1976-77 was Asgard Miniatures, who don't have an article yet, although I found enough decent sources that I'm thinking of composing one. It's possible that Wargames Foundry were selling directly to Citadel Miniatures, who were based in Newark at the time which is just up the road from Wargames Foundry's address. I don't think they were a public-facing company in their own right. I'd describe the claims in the article as plausible but not sourceable.
Unless Hobit's researches pull out a RS I don't know about, I think I'm going to have to go with delete. I can also see the argument for a smerge to Bryan Ansell and I would not oppose this outcome; all we'd really be able to merge is a brief mention so the difference between smerge and delete in this case does not amount to much.—S Marshall T/C 13:56, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

- Keep - I completely get all the delete !votes. And I understand how strictly applying the guidelines at WP:NACTOR lead you to that decision. That being said, the guy was a regular on a television show for 10 years. A very popular television show. If William Christopher's only role was as the chaplain on M*A*S*H, I'd say that was good enough (and he only appeared in 218 episodes). That being said, I've never seen the show, so I don't know how significant a role it is, but the fact that it's notable enough to have its own Wikipedia page, it's probably a decent role. Although, it looks like most of that article is post-Ormson, so if he was merely a glorified extra for those 10 years, than I'd rethink my !vote. Onel5969 TT me 00:53, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment @Onel5969: I didn't watch the show when Ormson was it in but it looks like he was in it from a baby to about 10 years old. Most child characters in that age range tend to be "glorified extras" which is why they end up being recast. These 10 years of the character are summarised by a single paragraph in David Platt (Coronation Street)#Storylines, so it looks like that's probably the case. I don't know if he had a speaking part at any point. AnemoneProjectors 11:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Response to comment - That's precisely my point AnemoneProjectors, I'm not sure. He may have been a glorified extra, or he might have had a part more akin to that of the Olsen twins on Full House.

- Actually, in a lack of individual's coverage notability criteria tell us a discussion then has to be about the roles, and so anyone simply and unfoundedly claiming his roles are unsourcable or insignificant is unhelpful. We do not cherry-pick which guide to understand, but what I do understand after seven years and 60,000 edits is that the inclusion guide WP:NACTOR requires verification of an actor's roles, without demanding SIGCOV of the individual. Those two guides are not set as mutually exclusionary. No evidence beyond supposition that author User:Parthactor is the likely subject, but the user has not edited the stub since November 2010... but it has been edited by many others have since he stopped editing Wikipedia. And while ADVERT/PROMOTION in any article would certainly apply if the article were itself somehow full of unsourcable fluff, rather than sourcable fact, I know you decided to ignore a a reasonable assertion of notability when you wished it speedied. Atlantic306 was correct to decline your requested speedy. Had you given any thought to simply tagging it for sources rather than bringing it to AFD? Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:14, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

- The thing is, what clears you through WP:AfC is not binding on what happens here at AfD. Put another way, what AfC is telling reviewers is the bare minimum to accept an article for publication in mainspace. But I suspect the AfC people assume that these "single refs" will soon be supplemented by other refs from other editors once the article is published (i.e. they're viewing that "bare minimum standard" as the starting point for an article...). At AfD, OTOH, we're sometimes looking at BLPs that have been entirely unsourced for up to a decade (and which would qualify for WP:BLPPROD if BLPPROD had been "grandfathered" to include them) which is usually a sign that significant sourcing is unavailable for the subject. Note the choice of my words – "significant sourcing". It's not to say that some of these languishing BLPs can't be sourced at all – it's that they can't be "adequately" or well sourced enough to clear WP:GNG (or WP:BASIC). In any case, what happens at AfC is certainly not binding here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Does not meet the requirements for notability of actors. We do not keep poorly sourced articles on marginally notable people because we have lots of poorly sourced articles on marginally notable people. If you think there are others actors who are not notable and yet have articles (which is probably the case), you are free to nominate them for deletion. And to tell you the truth, if they really are less notable than Hammon, I will also vote for deleting that article as well. Just because we cannot manage to nominate all below par articles that do not meet notability requirements at once, does not mean we should keep such articles as we have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:30, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: Borderline. but keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VanEman (talk • contribs) 17:40, April 3, 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - The WP:OSE argument isn't really valid in this instance. And remember, having two significant roles only means the may be notable (the guideline says "multiple", but does not define it). To be specific, the guideline says: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." In this instance I don't think the two roles she has had guarantee that she is notable. Onel5969 TT me 01:33, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This Wikipedia article is now a parody of an encyclopaedic entry. Content of this page is too uncomplete with many existing universities not listed on this page. For example: many universities in the city of Poltava are not listed here. (On the other hand) it is very likely that now this page is listing universities in Ukraine that do not exist anymore. (Since) 76 higher education institutions and their branches were denied licenses in 2015; looking at this page history they were not removed from this article. On the article's talkpage the hope has been expressed that somebody will fix this article. The change that somebody will fix this article is about 0%. Since it has existed for almost 12 years now and was never fixed. I don't see the point on hoping that somebody will fix it.... This Wikipedia article is now a parody of an encyclopaedic entry and should be deleted especially since Category:Universities in Ukraine is a must better substitute for this page. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 16:18, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

These articles share the same text (except for the dates), but one is a high school and the other a primary school. They can't both cover the same grades, so at least one is dead wrong. There are no references for either, so no way for us to correct. I couldn't find any info online except an empty facebook page for the alleged primary school.

- Delete and Salt As per above, this user has repeatedly created this article only to see it deleted again and again. This school fails WP:Notability and, as above, has no sourcing.

- Delete both. The original primary school article was never deleted, but was redirected. The original high school article was deleted three days in a row for copyright violation (the author does not appear to understand copyright, or, perhaps, English). Their enthusiastic article creation may be a sincere effort to help, but has been more disruptive than beneficial. A source could be found to prove the existence of the high school, but instead of letting the secondary school slide per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, this is a time to stick to WP:NSCHOOL. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

- Not a hoax, but it is a promotional content fork of the better sourced Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles. That article discusses the more general subject of "Turtle Clubs" since their inception during World War II, was kept by a strong consensus at an old AfD, and now contains a variety of independent reliable sources. By contrast, the article at issue here describes a particular group that claims lineage from the original, but makes no showing of any particular notability for this particular group.

- Delete – The substance of the article is unsourced. The sources given are only cited to support general statements about the organisations that supposedly uphold this ideology. I can't find anything relevant on independent sources via Google—note that "Antiochenism" is also used as a rare synonym for Nestorianism, which seems to be how it's used in all the relevant results for that term. However, @Greek Legend: Per WP:RSUE, while English sources are preferred, there is no requirement that sources be in English, or that there be "at least one" source in English.

Notability is not shown by the non-independent/passing mentions in the provided references and I can't find anything else significant, just more incidental mentions. The article appears to have been created for promotional purposes (see the original version, bloated with refs that don't mention the company). —SMALLJIM 10:42, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom -- this has been an issue from time to time with COI and paid editing. The article was started by User:Johnalexwood, who does at least state on his user page that he is a publicist with his own firm. He was also responsible for creating and maintaining articles for several other Scientologists, only one other of which ended up being kept, Christy Lee Rogers, who is a client of both John Alex Wood and Fraser Kee Scott, and should not actually have been kept considering the fact that there are no reliable secondary sources at all for that particular individual, with all information on Rogers available out there based on press releases and promotional items that Kee Scott and John Alex Wood distributed to media, both in the UK and abroad. It gets even more convoluted beyond that with a bunch of articles here that they are responsible but for which I haven't had time to gather any data or evidence, so as far as this article goes, short story is that John Alex Wood, a publicist, started the article using sources that mention neither Album Artists or Fraser Kee Scott, not even in passing. Obviously that is deliberate misuse and misrepresentation of sources, which in and of themselves are not particularly useful since they are entirely based on press releases, with the sole exception of an interview or two with a band like Coldplay, with not a single one of them mentioning Album Artists or Fraser Kee Scott. It is impossible to verify any of his claims, and when pressed for such evidence (off-wiki, by others in the media), he has used a photo of himself with the band, which doesn't in and of itself prove anything. None of the media outlets, including the gossip rags, haev printed any of the claims Kee Scott made in this article by John Alex Wood. Laval (talk) 09:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:SINGLEEVENT. He could be well mentioned in the main article in Two-three lines like Pakistan claimed to arrest a RAW agent but Indian Govt. denied his links with RAW. MBlaze Lightning -talk! 07:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – the event just recently occurred, and it is in the news. The article doesn't assert that he was definitely a RAW agent, but lists the allegation. The capture of a Naval Officer – of any country – is certainly notable and unfortunate, especially if they're engaged in counter-terrorism activities. The fact that he was arrested and accused is what's explained in the article. There is evidence for that. The article also asserts what your comment states: that the Indian gov't denies any affiliation (though that's standard practice). The article should be kept, and hopefully within a month, the article will be amended to say, "He was cleared of all charges and released."

Similar to the 2007 AfD* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/RosAsm), there are no sources, and the article is blatantly promotional in tone and content. Also the project appears to be dead (last update on the web site appears to be 2013). There is no indications of notable use, and while there have in the past been a few noisy proponents on usenet (alt.lang.asm, etc.) this was not accompanied by evidence of actual use. Even if this article is kept, vast portions need to be removed (for example, approximately the entire "Features" section), as they are almost entirely promotional or reference manual in style.

WP:BLP of an actor, created by a user named "Thejerintv" and thus a likely WP:COI, with no strong or properly sourced indication of notability per WP:NACTOR. His potential notability as an actor is dependent on a single television series, whose article has listed him in its infobox since last year but fails to include any information about the character he plays in the cast list — thus raising the unresolved question of whether he was really a core cast member, or just a guest actor who's trying to oversell himself as being more prominent than he really was for PR purposes. And because this is an Indian television series, I'm running into the traditional WP:INDAFD difficulty finding sources that verify this properly — although I can't help but notice that neither the series nor the actor has any article at all on hi as far as I can tell via Google Translate. And an actor never gets a "no sourcing required" freebie just because he exists — even if there is a language issue involved, some kind of reliable source coverage still has to be demonstrable somewhere. So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with Hindi language skills can properly source that he had a prominent role in Shake It Up, but it has to be deleted if we can't verify that.

Nevertheless, I agree with you, Happy Squirrel: there's virtually no extant material on the subject. While the author appears to assert that it is a registered party, their own Facebook description contains a disclaimer that it is not yet registered with the United Kingdom Electoral Commission, as is reflected in their absence from the Electoral Commission's online database.

As noted, the fact that they are not registered with the Election Commission throws into doubt the only claim of significance that such an entity exists as a political party.

Delete The information that I was provided with was that the Association is a legal body affiliated to the Ministry of Sports, that dictates MMA rules and have the power to sanction events in India - which was false. Upon verifying official documents it was proved that the organization was a society of MMA enthusiasts (Societies registration act 1860 - Regd: MH / 8907 / 2004 Nasik District 19/11/2004, Mumbai Registration Act 1950 Regd: F 8373 dt 31/05/2005) Indian Societies Registration Act. As this was out in public many credible media links were retracted. However the body functions as a solutions provider such as providing man power requirements logistics, technical aid, officials and seminars to conduct MMA events. Still there are no credible sources to verify these claims. I have requested the association for notable sources for the claims made. However the association was unable to provide any resources to validate the claims. Also noted was that the existing Wikipedia page was used on facebook to promote the association and its legitimacy.

- @Spilia4: According to WP:NHOCKEY he needs 90 games for a likely keep. Otherwise he need to pass WP:GNG and at this point I cannot find anything other than WP:ROUTINE.

Kaskisuo broke the team record for most shutouts in a season (source) but not sure if that would be considered a "preeminent honor".

- @Spilia4:
Fair enough. He does seem a reasonable candidate for NCHC First Team All-Star. (I may have been in error here since the user who created Kaskisuo's article made a series of TooSoon articles and he made this one including a Copy-n-Paste job of Tuuka Rask's statistics and non-significant sources). I did a bit more searching and found that the NCHC has already announced the All-conference teams. There are no other "preeminent honors" in which he is in contention for so now he must absolutely pass GNG in order to be a Keep. Yosemiter (talk) 20:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Opinion is divided between those who support deletion because the sources are deemed insufficient, and those who support keeping because they consider the sourcing sufficient to meet the general notability guideline. That's a matter of judgment which I can't second-guess as closer (and shouldn't even if I knew something or indeed cared about football), so we're left with no consensus and a "keep" by default. There's also discussion about issues of systemic bias and about the subject's league's importance or professionalism. These parts of the discussion also do not help us to arrive at a consensus. Nonetheless, I'm of the view that our deletion policy's principle of "when in doubt, don't delete" should be taken into account particularly when, as here, we are faced with potential issues of systemic bias, which confirms the "no consensus keep" outcome.

- Keep – Article needs expansion, not deletion per WP:ATD. The WP:FPL essay is perpetually "incomplete" as noted at the top of the page and largely irrelevant to women's leagues around the world. SWPL is the top-division women's league in Scotland. Adequate references provided. Hmlarson (talk) 03:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – WP:FPL is indeed very very incomplete. And not really well defined. This would bytheway put almost all international women's league players up for deletion. Since almost every league in women's football has only one or two really professional teams. This would mean a hugh disparity between men's and women's leagues. Which would mean Wikipedia is actively against women's sports, since in general women's sports (some debate incorrectly) receive less money (and with that less professionalism). My advise is to decide relevance on status of the league, top divisions of countries. Do note that Jenna Fife did play as a youth international (talk) Funafuti1978 (talk) 07:07, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Top division of women's football in Scotland is not fully-professional, nor has she won a full international cap yet, so fails WP:NFOOTY. Note to closer – playing in a top division is not sufficient to pass WP:NFOOTY – the league played in has to be fully-professional, so despite the incorrect claims above (which are disappointing to see despite the editor in question being fully aware of this), WP:FPL is relevant here. Note these recent AfDs on male players who played in the top division in Lithuania, Ireland and Cambodia respectively, which are also not fully-professional. Number 57 09:43, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, as she has not played in a full international or in a fully professional league. This article on STV News goes into some detail about the status of Glasgow City, the dominant club in the Scottish league (the subject plays for Hibernian, one of the clubs that tries to challenge Glasgow City). It is not discriminatory as there are opportunities for highly-talented Scottish players to play professionally in other countries (England, Sweden, USA, Germany), which many of them have taken.

Keephere a list I created some months ago that shows the top European teams based on the Elo Rating system (used for the FIFA ranking as well): [22]. Calculation method here: [[23]]. You can see the top teams are from the following leagues in Europe are (in order of importance): France 1, Germany 1, Sweden 1, England 1, Russia 1, Switzerland 1, Spain 1, Poland 1, Italy 1, Scotland 1, Netherlands 1, Serbia 1, Denmark 1. And maybe at lower level Austria 1, Czech Republic 1, Hungary 1, Turkey 1, Belarus 1, Kazakhstan 1, Belgium 1, Bosnia 1, Romania 1, Iceland 1, Cyprus 1 (all with teams in the top 100). Calling the Dutch Vrouwen Eredivisie professional and the Scottish league not is very strange. Why is sports measured on money in stead of merit? Again that creates automatically more men sports articles than women sports articles, which sounds very biased (talk) Funafuti1978 (talk) 11:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)- Keep Nice article TeeVeeed (talk) 00:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- WP:NOR. If the Scottish league rates relatively high due to results in European competition, those will be largely (if not entirely) based on Glasgow City (who Jenna Fife doesn't play for). They have won the Scottish league for the last several years and have been the Scottish representative in European competition for all of that period. Calling the Scottish league "not professional" is pretty straightforward – it's based on the fact that the players are not paid to play. You ignore the fact that there are ways of this player (and others) becoming notable – they could play a full international or they could join a professional club. She hasn't done either.

- It's also worth noting that having an article on Wikipedia is primarily linked to notability. In football terms, notability is strongly linked to professional status; with the exception of a few clubs funded by sponsors, most clubs can only turn professional if they have sufficient numbers of people coming to watch them. Implcitily, this means more people will be aware of professional players are they play in front of larger crowds. Women's football is less popular as a spectator sport than men's football, and as a result, its players are less notable. And before the usual gender bias accusations start flying around, I am interested in women's football, have written several articles on it and even attended the 2011 World Cup – however, I recognise that women's football (like non-League football, which I also follow) is less notable.

- First of all the list shows Hibernian on position No. 45 of Europe. I would say at least the top 100 clubs are relevant for a sport that is played by millions of ladies in Europe. Furthermore Hibernian qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League next season (is that not a reason to collect the squad information) – so they are not that unrelevant. The Vrouwen Eredivisie is scored as professional league, I'm close to an ex-player, I can tell you it's not professional from a money point of view just like in Scotland (maybe with Ajax and Twente for some players as a semi-pro option). Those leagues are interchangeable in money. But in merit the Scottish league has simply done better. By only taking the national team caps as relevant. You are making a Moldovan cap more important than a Scottish SWPL player (while the latter is more relevant). In my opinion you should pick the 30 top leagues of the world and do those first (i'm very much willing to help). Scotland should be part of that. Lets agree on such a list – that is more based on merit, that would make me happy.

If you want to change the guideline, the place to start a conversation is at WT:FOOTY, then take it to the sports guideline talk page if there is consensus.

- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. • Gene93k (talk) 11:43, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete – Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. The fundamental point here is that this player is someone, regardless of gender, who has played a mere handful of times for her club and only at junior level internationally. It seems from the article that she may well play senior international football at some point as she has already been part of a training squad, but that is some way off. The claims of GNG noted above are erroneous. All that has been provided in the article are routine match reports which discuss team performance rather than the player specifically and other articles where the subject is only of tangential interest. For editors interested in what GNG-meeting sources look like with specific reference to a female footballer who does not meet NFOOTY, they need look no further than this AfD, closed only a few days ago which contains several references to dedicated, lengthy articles on the player in question.

- Delete – fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Women's football is not in the same position as men's, it doesn't get the same level of media or popular coverage, and its "stars" are not notable (unfortunately). GiantSnowman 17:30, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Clearly that notion is more important to some editors than Wikipedia policy. Good to note. 12 Hmlarson (talk) 17:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Women's football is of a broadly similar status to men's football in a few countries, particularly the USA, but this is not true of Scotland. The matches of the national team are fairly well covered by the main outlets (some games are televised on BBC Alba), so the international players (many of whom play professionally elsewhere) are reasonably well known. At club level, you get a weekly roundup of matches on the BBC Sport site (eg last weekend) and very little coverage of individual players. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:13, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- To give further context, the Scotland women's team played at home tonight in a competitive international match (UEFA Euro 2017 qualifying). Pretty important match as the team may qualify for a tournament for the first time ever (the men haven't qualified for nearly 20 years either). Attendance? 1,300. Rightly or wrongly, there simply isn't the level of interest or coverage in women's football in Scotland. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: Unfortunately I can't see anything that indicates this person should have an article on Wikipedia. No third-party non-trivial coverage of the subject seems to exist. Even in specialist publications like Women's Soccer Scene and She Kicks I can't find anything other than her name listed in line-ups or passing mentions in match reports. I agree, as mentioned by Funafuti1978, that Wikipedia mirrors the general media's apathy towards women's football, and therefore has a gender bias in football articles, but independent reliable sources are needed for biographies of living persons, and if they don't exist neither can the article. @Funafuti1978 don't lose heart, as Hmlarson says, your contributions are greatly appreciated. Women's football coverage on Wikipedia is weak in places, and any help with improving that is always welcome, it just needs to be focused in the right area.

- Comment First of all the fact that only men are discussing this, shows that Wikipedia, football and debate in general is still a men's world (sorry to bring the gender comment again – eventhough I am a man). Second of all it looks like discussing is more important here than making Wikipedia a bigger success. We are not talking about low level amateur players wanting to be covered on Wikipedia here, we are talking about top division players from one of the worlds top 25 women's soccer countries (FIFA Ranking / EWCR Ranking): Scotland. In my opinion players from the following top divisions should be covered:
North America: USA – NWSL (easy)
Asia: Japan – Nadeshiko League (doable) Korea Republic – WK League (doable) Australia – W.League (easy) China – Chinese Women's National League (tricky)
South America:
Brazil – Campeonato Brasileiro (easy) Chile – Primera Division (tricky) Colombia – Colombian League (tricky)
Europe:
Germany – Frauen Bundesliga (easy) France – Femeinine Division 1 (easy) England – WSL 1 (easy) Sweden – Damallsvenskan (easy) Norway – Toppserien (easy) Netherlands – Vrouwen Eredivisie (doable) Italy – Serie A (doable) Spain – Primera Division (doable) Denmark – Elitedivisionen (tricky) Switzerland – Nationalliga A (easy) Iceland – Urvalsdeild (easy) Scotland – SWPL (tricky) Russia – Supreme Division (doable) Ukraine – Premier League (easy) Austria – Frauenliga (easy) Poland – Ekstraliga (doable) Serbia – Prva Zvenska (tricky)
Players having at least one appearance in those competitions are mostly far better players than national team players from Vietnam, Jordan, Bulgaria, Faroe Islands, Haiti, Venezuela or Zambia who are featured and allowed to be covered on Wikipedia. What is unclear is that the money above merit argument for leagues is not there for national teams. Are those national teams all fully professional? Mostly they are absolutely not. Are they well covered in their countries, mostly absolutely not. So Wikipedia is favouring the real unprofessional above the semi professional. Then another thing, in the Vrouwen Eredivisie (a leagues someone decided to be professional on Wikipedia – which it is not – can someone finally explain why SWPl is an issue and Vrouwen Eredivisie not?) there are women teams that train more than their professional men counter parts. Which means the ladies loose more time on their sports while combining it with studies, while the men earn more for less work. Professionalism isn't only related to money – it's also related to the effort you make to reach your goal. It is quite clearly the men in this discussion have never even been close to women's football, than they would have known what time the ladies in these top divisions invest to reach the top. Funafuti1978 (talk) 14:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- I think it would be best not to derail this specific AfD with a wider discussion on female football notability, that would be better at WT:FOOTY or WT:FPL, but I think you are focussing far too much on the subject specific guideline. You need to consider two points: firstly that the reason NFOOTY at least sort of works is that it acknowledges international footballers as being players, regardless of gender who have played at the highest possible level. Secondly, and this is the key thing, NFOOTY is always superceded by GNG. If an individual, regardless of gender is not receiving significant coverage specifically about them then it doesn't matter what level anyone perceives them to play at, the lack of coverage means they are not notable. The opposite is also therefore true by definition. Fenix down (talk) 14:52, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- What I agree with is that there needs to be a framework. I also understand the current framework works well for men's football – since if you guys say it does I believe so (all though some in the list are a bit arbitrary – most look right). But it is simply sure it does not work for women's football for all the above reasons – since only 1 league would really fit that model (which is NWSL – probably the only fully 'money-wise' professional league in women's football). But in what women need to do for it – there are far more professional leagues. And in strength it could be that on some days clubs in Bundesliga, Damallsvenskan, Feminine 1 would simply beat NWSL clubs (who are professional). So in my opinion the only measurement is merit and results. I picked a combinaton of the leagues from the top 25 teams on the FIFA Ranking (that have a organized league pyramid) and the highest performing leagues in the continents that have a club competition (Copa Libertadores Feminino and UEFA Women's Champions League – based on EWCR). That should be good enough to cover the world of women's football in a proper way. If we would have a sensible rule I would have defended it with you, but the current rule qualifies only 1 league (NWSL). And next to that everybody is breaking the rule online – see Vrouwen Eredivisie profiles, W. League, Bundesliga profiles etc. Which is the best proof the rule does not work. Or you need to do a hugh clean-up operation. Then on your second point, the amount of articles about players. I think that is not the biggest problem, I just did not do a full research on those players yet. Women's football at a good level is well covered in regional and country-wide newspapers – but not in all countries those newspapers have good online sources. Furthermore UEFA, FIFA, FAs, official club websites should be trustworthy sources. Funafuti1978 (talk) 15:48, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete reluctantly. Wikipedia goes on reliable sources, and unfortunately those reliable sources don't give much coverage to women's football- that's a problem with the coverage, and not with Wikipedia being biased. If people want to debate the guidelines, then that should be done at the appropriate venue, for example WT:NSPORTS or WT:FOOTY. However, we should be applying the guidelines at the moment, which say that she doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY, and I don't believe she passes WP:GNG either. I also don't agree with the logic of "she plays in a country's top league, and is therefore notable"- it's simply too broad. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:48, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Stop the discussion. Delete the thing. You already have hurt too much. You have made it again.
- Keep: This is most certainly part of a wider discussion on female football notability. Once again, Wikipedia erases women as irrelevant and their accomplishments less notable. It's a circular argument; women are not notable because there s not a lot of coverage, there is not a lot of coverage because women are not notable. Time to stop this nonsense. Within women's soccer, of the individual is highly ranked, she's notable. End of story. Montanabw(talk) 04:34, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Montanabw: The idea that playing in a top division makes you notable is not credible, as it would mean players in the top division in countries like Andorra or San Marino are notable. We have deleted probably hundreds of articles on male players from the League of Ireland Premier Division (the top level league in Ireland) because the league is not fully-professional (one is in the examples of AfDs I gave above) – this is not something focussed on getting rid of articles on female players.

Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that the guideline was specifically designed to minimise the number of eligible female players?

- I've made no personal attack – though I really hadn't expected anyone to support misogyny in this day and age. There are many sports listed in WP:ATHLETE where we don't apply the "fully-professional" league rule, and allow for "professional" in other sports (such as Canadian and American football). If we are willing to have different rules for other types of football, then there's no reason we can't apply different rules for different genders. The concept of applying the same rules for female footballers as we do for male footballers is misogynistic – when we could choose to apply the rules for female footballers to be the same as American footballers. I don't think establishing the rules this way was in itself misogynistic – but failing to change it when the WP:BIAS is demonstrated, is misogynistic. Nfitz (talk) 21:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: You have accused editors of misogyny, and if you do not withdraw it, you will be reported at ANI. Applying the same rules to both genders is unbiased; having different rules would be biased. The fact is that fewer female footballers are notable because there is less interest in it as a spectator sport. This may reflect badly on society, but it is a fact. It would be grossly unfair to male footballers who play in semi-professional leagues to deny them an article when females in similar leagues are allowed them. Number 57 21:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I have not accused any individual of misogyny; I'm not sure why you are distracting from the point. How do you justify that we can apply different rules to American Football, but can't apply those rules to Women's football. Yes, there is less interest in it as a spectators sport. But in other sports where there is less interest as a spectators sport, we only require that the league is profesional – not fully professional. That's where we are being misogynistic. Nfitz (talk) 22:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

- @Number 57:But with different genders. ANI report for what? I'm accusing us all of misogyny – myself included as I've gone along with this in the past. I've been just as much a misogynist on this as anyone. I've only just realised the implication, because we apply different standards for other male-dominated sports. I think you are misinterpreting my meaning here. Nfitz (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: Gender should not matter – notability of footballers is directly linked to interest in the sport. Number 57 22:16, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Of course gender matters. You are saying that a sport such as american football where we accept that because of the smaller player base, that it doesn't have to be fully-professional, but reject the same for Women's football based simply on gender? We need to fix this – it is clearly and blatantly wrong, and is WP:BIAS. Nfitz (talk) 22:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: On the contrary, I would say the bias is in the American Football guidelines. The size of the player base has no real impact on notability as far as I am aware. Number 57 22:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- That was simply an example, that I chose going down the list of sports – and it's the first sport listed. There's certainly others. Ice hockey, Basketball, Cycling, Equestrian for example. We could very easily choose to change Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable. to men who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable; while women who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a professional league, will generally be regarded as notable to recognize the huge differences between the two sports.

We could very easily choose to change Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable. to men who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable; while women who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a professional league, will generally be regarded as notable to recognize the huge differences between the two sports. Nfitz (talk)
- @Nfitz: On the contrary, I would say the bias is in the American Football guidelines. The size of the player base has no real impact on notability as far as I am aware. Number 57 22:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Of course gender matters. You are saying that a sport such as american football where we accept that because of the smaller player base, that it doesn't have to be fully-professional, but reject the same for Women's football based simply on gender? We need to fix this – it is clearly and blatantly wrong, and is WP:BIAS. Nfitz (talk) 22:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: Gender should not matter – notability of footballers is directly linked to interest in the sport. Number 57 22:16, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Number 57:But with different genders. ANI report for what? I'm accusing us all of misogyny – myself included as I've gone along with this in the past. I've been just as much a misogynist on this as anyone. I've only just realised the implication, because we apply different standards for other male-dominated sports. I think you are misinterpreting my meaning here. Nfitz (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: You have accused editors of misogyny, and if you do not withdraw it, you will be reported at ANI. Applying the same rules to both genders is unbiased; having different rules would be biased. The fact is that fewer female footballers are notable because there is less interest in it as a spectator sport. This may reflect badly on society, but it is a fact. It would be grossly unfair to male footballers who play in semi-professional leagues to deny them an article when females in similar leagues are allowed them. Number 57 21:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've made no personal attack – though I really hadn't expected anyone to support misogyny in this day and age. There are many sports listed in WP:ATHLETE where we don't apply the "fully-professional" league rule, and allow for "professional" in other sports (such as Canadian and American football). If we are willing to have different rules for other types of football, then there's no reason we can't apply different rules for different genders. The concept of applying the same rules for female footballers as we do for male footballers is misogynistic – when we could choose to apply the rules for female footballers to be the same as American footballers. I don't think establishing the rules this way was in itself misogynistic – but failing to change it when the WP:BIAS is demonstrated, is misogynistic. Nfitz (talk) 21:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Nfitz: There are more articles on male players because there are more professional male players. The same is the case for politicians because there are more male politicians. Regardless of what year this is, this is reality. Also, please withdraw your personal attack. Number 57 21:09, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete – systemic bias is, as its name suggests, systemic. The SWPL is not a professional league, and otherwise there is not enough coverage for this to pass WP:GNG. It's not a problem of "misogyny"; Wikipedia treats players from both genders equally in that only players in fully professional leagues are kept regardless of gender, and Wikipedia cannot WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS.

KeepIf SWPL is the top women's league in Scotland, whether it's fully professional or not, then it's WP:NFOOTY that needs fixing, not this article. Professionalism might be a guide to the notability of leagues generally, but it's not a defining factor in sport (or else the olympics will be in trouble) and it's not working as a guide here, for women's football in Scotland. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:37, 6 April 2016 (UTC)- @Andy Dingley: The Olympics isn't in trouble because Olympians are representing their country. This rule is also applied to footballers (male or female) via WP:NFOOTY – i.e. all international footballers are notable. The question is the notability of players who are not internationals. If we went down the top division route, it would open Wikipedia up to tens of thousands of articles on players who played in the top division in countries where football is not popular enough to make it as a spectator sport.

- Keep – I think @User:Funafuti1978 hit the nail on the head with "trying to scientifically find a frame to exclude women's football". Especially when we consider that the largely semi-pro Scottish (men's) second tier gets a free pass. As well as articles for male amateur players like Andrew Leach, where the only "coverage" is listings in obscure stat-compendiums not available to the general public. Talk about double standards! This is all underscored, as others have said, by some ugly WP:BADGERING which is certainly misogynistic at times. Bring back Regi Blinker (talk) 23:03, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete We have notability standards that this person doesn't meet. It's unfortunate that coverage of Women's football isn't the same as Men's football coverage in sources but that doesn't mean we bend notability rules ("Men's football" is really a misnomer as Premier League allows women to compete, as does MLB, NFL, etc, which is not the same as Olympic rules where there are clearly Men's and Women's sports). If this were a badminton player, they would join the ranks of both Men's and Women's badminton notability as the sport doesn't generate coverage. And if it were Tennis, the notability standard generates about equal coverage of Men and Women Singles professional tennis players that we don't dip into the lower rankings (note that doubles players don't get near the coverage, regardless of gender). Framing this as a gender issue misses the point that it's about notable footballers as discussed in reliable sources and there is no gender requirement. If she were a "Scottish League semi-pro tennis player" there would be no discussion as it's an obvious "delete." --DHeyward (talk) 01:30, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as failing GNG and NFOOTY. The coverage referenced in the article and available online is more routine than significant.
- I'm unhappy voting to send a decently-written, verifiable woman's biography to the dustbin when we have so few, but external bias is not a valid retention criteria. In my view, it would be both unfair and unwise to keep a biography of a woman when a comparable biography about a man would likely be deleted. Perhaps our notability criteria are too strict: I think it would be to the Project's advantage to retain interesting, credibly-sourced, unbiased articles such as this even when their subjects aren't notable. But this is not the place for that discussion.

- Keep – per GNG and using IAR for NFOOTBALL. This isn't a matter of righting wrongs. Cirt's excellent contributions to the article demonstrate that Jenna Fife has significant coverage in reliable sources, thus proving her notability to have an encyclopedic article (as to whether that notability is "high" or "low" is a completely different discussion). What needs to be fixed here is the WP:NFOOTBALL guideline; this case demonstrates that it has shortcomings. The fact that players from top flight leagues in countries like Andorra are also being removed because they don't meet the NFOOTBALL notability guideline is another example of the guideline's faults. There should at least be room for case-by-case analyses of notability.--MarshalN20 Talk 19:10, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - When it comes to women's football (and women's sports in general), they receive woefully inadequate compensation and coverage compared to their male counterparts. Therefore, there is an inherent lack of fully-professional women's football leagues. Because of this, we have to use common sense and not blindly follow WP:NFOOTY.
