Proposed deletion of Kosovar Sadiki

The article Kosovar Sadiki has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Footballer who fails GNG and FOOTY

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Continental Column

I see that the moderators have deleted your column for Europa League in the statistics section of Kristopher Twardek. I would argue against that. European football is the highest level a player can achieve in the domestic game and every other player with a profile has one. I’d just be inclined to make sure the numbers tally up.

Seeking input about a draft article on footballer Noah Eisenberg

Hi Shermanator , I’m reaching out because I see you contribute to a lot of articles about footballers. I do not, but I’ve just written one that is still in draft space and I’d appreciate some feedback. Full disclosure, I often do paid editing, but I am not acting as a paid editor in this case. Noah Eisenberg reached out to me after a disreputable Wikipedia editing company failed in an attempt to create an article. I see that there are many players on this level that have been deemed notable. And since I don’t like seeing anyone get ripped off, I’ve created an article about him.

https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Noah_Eisenberg



Could you take a look at the draft article and let me know what you think? I wanted to have an opinion or two before I moved it to the main space. Thanks for your help and also let me know if it would be okay to mention you on the talk page if you agree on notability. SBCornelius (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I noticed your recent edit to Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes.

Gareth Smith-Doyle moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Gareth Smith-Doyle, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Shermanator, regarding the deleted comment, I don't believe the issue was the sources for why the GSD article got draftified. Northern Tribune usually qualifies as a good enough source here (I switched to it because it mentioned GSD in the title as opposed to the other others). Not sure if you were aware, but in the past year, the guidelines for articles for soccer players changed - simply playing in a professional match no longer qualifies a player for an article, that guideline got voted down. Now, it must pass GNG, which is basically an article requires multiple sources that have sources that reference the player in detail (beyond just passing mentions and signing anouncements). Articles which basically only say "Player X signed on this day" or linked to player profile pages are now regularly being deleted (Wiki:FOOTBALL has the current list of articles up for deletion - there's about 30 right now, most of which are stub articles for players with a few pro appearances like GSD) if they don't have multiple sources that discuss the player directly (that's why I switched to the NT source because it talked more specifically about the player than the other ones which mention him in a random sentence about something else, also I find articles that have sources that mention the player in the title usually have better chances of not getting deleted). This was mentioned again recently at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Player_notabilty. Jordan Knight (soccer) was another article about a Canadian player that had the same happen (it actually got redirected rather than drafted). The Goteh Ntingee article probably would've also been draftified like this one, but I tried to add a few extra sources that talked about him to try to ensure it wouldn't get draftified/deleted.

I hope this message didn't come across with a poor tone, it ended up being much longer than I expected. I really like all the updating you do here with Canadian players. I think we've interacted on the Voyageurs board too (I just have a different username there :) ) Best, RedPatch (talk) 03:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
