For modern European players (I'm talking internet era), where we have full-access to sources, can you find anyone with 260 top-flight appearances who is non-notable? Can you find a single modern European FIFA World Cup player for which there is no sigcov?

There are a few footballers with 100+ topflight appearances without significant coverage at all, most likely due to low level of sport played in the country. That being said, small population and interest in certain sport, especially tiny islands (e.g. Belize) as well as European microstates (e.g. Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, etc.) Imagine a footballer playing 200 matches for a football club in San Marino and didn't receive even single significant coverage, other than the fact they played their 100th/200th match...

• Not sure I completely understand your point, but my main argument there was that the odds of someone with so extensive experience not to have coverage –especially for a large football country (in this case, Czechslovakia – much different than e.g. San Marino) – is so incredibly slim that, given no sources from the time were searched, assuming coverage existed would be the only thing that made sense.BeanieFan11 (talk)23:45, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your edit onLaekin Vakalahi, I remember you from the Olympics. I’m not in the US so although I’ve been a fan of NFL for a few years it was my first attempt at starting a page for a player. I struggled to find info on notability expectations on IPP and practise squad and CFL players - do you have any insight on that? Cheers. GHildreth gazzard (talk)21:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi@Hildreth gazzard: – originally, the standard for American football players was that they had to appear in a regular season game in either the NFL or CFL, but that was abolished in 2022. Since then, the standard has only beenWP:GNG. Now, usually I find that the vast majority of those who've played in CFL games are notable, while a decent majority of NFL practice squad players and those who have signed with NFL teams through IPP are notable as well – but they shouldn't be assumed notable without proof of significant coverage. It ultimately just comes down to whether there's enough for GNG.BeanieFan11 (talk)00:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helli @BeanieFan11 I thought I would message you regarding the current discussions surrounding ice skating AFDs. I don't know if you have noticed (if you haven't then this message is pointless!) but I have been involved with some of these discussions and have voted delete on several. As you have been so friendly and helpful towards me in the past, I wanted to assure you that I have not, and never would, vote to delete any article without doing the best checking for coverage that I could. As you may recall I had a number of my articles deleted last year and I would never back deleting anyone else's work without thought as has been suggested by Moscow Connection. Anyway I just wanted to offer and explanation as I would not want you to think badly of me. Best wishes.Shrug02 (talk)17:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for the message. I appreciate that there's at least someone doing decent searches for some of these ice skating articles, and I do agree that a decent number may be non-notable. My main concerns with the user's AFDs is that there's such a large number of them (well overover 300 going back to May, mostly in a few massive batches, which included one of 50 AFDs in 30 minutes) and for many of them, the only users to comment are ones I don't trust as much to do a proper search. A good example of what I mean would be this:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jill Vernekohl. A German national silver medalist from the offline era which receives only two comments – a "redirect" without explanation and another "redirect" whose only rationale is "Should not remain an article." Another example would beWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niko Ulanovsky: two !votes, one of which is "Fail to meet criteria ... No medals ... No sources which meet WP:V," and the other is "per above." I don't think, in those examples, a proper search was done, whereas sometimes when newspaper searches were done, the subject turned out to have clear notability, such as inWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbie Smith.

I assume you sawLeaf Trading Cards? I couldn't really find anything either. Of course, that doesn't mean that there's not anything out there.

This is Scorpions13256 returning to Wikipedia under a new name with permission from the arbitration committee. How do you find references for foreign olympic athletes? I want to help you out. I also want to help you out again with those NFL IP drafts.The Knowledge Pirate (talk)10:54, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @The Knowledge Pirate: Nice to see you back. As for the IP, they haven't done that much recently, but they still submit a few from time to time. I still have a list of the ones that haven't been accepted atUser:BeanieFan11/IP draft tracker#Still in draftspace, although many have been deleted as abandoned. Now, when it comes to foreign Olympic athletes, for me, personally, I do the following... :)
  • If their name is in English script, I search their name in quotes on Google and by each possible way their name could have been reported (e.g. for someone named John Carlos Beanie, I'd do "John Carlos" & "John Beanie" & "John Carlos Beanie"); if their name is common I'll also add the word of the sport they compete in to the search in the language of their country (for sport shooters, "'John Beanie' tiro" if Spanish, "'John Beanie' tiratore" if Italian, tireur if French, etc.). I'll also look up their names in Google Books and perhaps add the sport to the search there as well. Then I'll look in Newspapers.com and, if available, a newspaper archive for their country (I've got a couple decent ones atUser:BeanieFan11/Beanie's source guide); if there's no specific newspaper archive for their country, I'll also check the Internet Archive's "texts" collection (there's a few countries which they've got decent archives for).
  • If the name is not in English script, e.g. Arabic, I'll search their name the ways listed above in Google & Google Books. I'll hit "select all" for all the results and then copy-paste them into Google Translate to see if any are potentially coverage of the athlete I'm looking for. I may search their English name in Newspapers.com, and if Arabic I'll also check the Internet Archive in their Arabic name (archive.org has a collection of Arabic newspapers).
• So there you have it: Beanie's in-depth guide to searching for Olympic athletesBeanieFan11 (talk)17:56, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That's kind of what I was already doing. Good to know that those Arabic articles are salvageable. I still have access to Newspapers.com, but I do not have access to the Newspaper archive until April.The Knowledge Pirate (talk)18:11, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it's Clariniie again. As a regular participant of AfD relating to people who mostly spent their career in the pre-internet era, especially athletes, what can be considered ones? In my opinion, such subjects that come to mind are athletes born 1975 and below.⋆｡˚꒰ঌClara A. Djalim໒꒱˚｡⋆11:19, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I think usually people who've spent the majority of their career prior to about 2000-2005 are "pre-internet" – though it can vary a little by country, e.g. a decent number of U.S. news websites from those years are still accessible, while e.g.Niger I don't think has any archives before the mid 2010s.BeanieFan11 (talk)17:32, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Even for stuff from the internet era, just Googling for sources isn't enough to determine notability.Nearly 40% of web pages from 10 years ago are no longer accessible (2024) "This phenomenon is called "digital decay," a sensation in which links to content across the internet, on government and news websites, on the "references" section of Wikipedia, and even X (then known as Twitter) no longer work.

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receivetournament points at the end of each round. Unlike theround points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers.This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4featured articles and 4good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seenhere. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it onWikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hi, I kindly request tips on doing research on athletes from the past. Looking at your user talk page looks like you are pretty good at this. How do you go about finding high quality sources for athletes when the standard databases of the Wikipedia Library are exhausted (ProQuest, newspapers.com and newspaperarchive)? Cheers,-1ctinus📝🗨02:31, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello,@1ctinus:, it can vary a little based on where the athlete's from, but I give an explanation for my usual search process in the above#Scorpions13256 section. If one's available, I often go to different newspaper archives for relevant countries (e.g. Trove for Australia, E-NewspaperArchives.ch for Switzerland), though unfortunately for some there's no online archives (particularly most countries from Africa, much of Asia). BTW, taking a look atRobert Oliver (cyclist), which you mentioned at the Olympics talk page, I searched PapersPast (a decent New Zealand newspaper archive) and found a story on himhere.BeanieFan11 (talk)02:47, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes fromCliff Christl's book onJim Coffeen.

• Christl, Cliff (2021).The Greatest Story in Sports: Green Bay Packers 1919-2019. KCI Sports Publishing.ISBN 978-1940056999.
• Page 23: "In early November, Jim Coffeen, who had played for several amateur teams in Green Bay over the previous five years and had played at East High in 1904, organized the Green Bay All-Stars to play a benefit game for the Brown County chapter of the Red Cross. Curly Lambeau started at right halfback and scored two touchdowns as the All-Stars beat the Marinette Badgers, 27-0, before roughly 1,200 fans at Hagemeister Park." (this was in November 1917)
• Page 40: "Jim Coffeen: Age 31. Stood 5 feet 10 inches, weighed 180 pounds. Played in 10 games. Started five at quarterback and one at left halfback. Born in Fort Howard, Wis. Played at Green Bay East High School in 1904. Played at Findlay College in Ohio in 1909 and Beloit College in 1910. At Beloit, he beat Ripon with a last-minute dropkick on October 22, but was expelled from school three weeks later when it was discovered that he attended East High for only two years and misrepresented himself on his college application. Veteran of city amateur teams."
• Page 46: "Among those who made the trip were Lambeau's wife, Marguerite, and Christine Coffeen, the new bride of Packers quarterback Jim Coffeen. In 1910, Coffeen had starred in two games for Beloit College before being expelled when it was discovered he had attended Green Bay East High School for only two years and misrepresented himself on his college application." (the context of this quote was the trip to play the infamous Beloit Faires game the Packers lost in 1919 6-0)
• Page 72: "Before the Cardinals game, Jim Coffeen, one of the original Packers, got the railroads to provide special train service with reduced rates for the team's fans." (the context of this quote is in regards to a 1921 game at the Chicago Cardinals, November 21, 1921)

• I was going to edit the article with the following edit summary: "There's no requirement that a relative needs to have an article to receive a mention – per the page you cite: 'That person A has a relationship with well-known person B ... is not a reason for a standalone article on A [but] person A may be included in the article on B.'"BeanieFan11 (talk)18:13, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The anon also added his other brother, Connie, to the article. If you think one or the other should be include, I'll leave it to you. I have no idea if either meets GNG. CheersAdakiko (talk)18:18, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like I originally included both ([7]). Even if they may not pass GNG themselves, they're still relevant enough to include in the article, I'd think.BeanieFan11 (talk)18:22, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I don’t intend to get in the middle of this any more than I have in restoring content that was errantly deleted due to a misunderstanding of the appropriate Wikipedia Manual of Style policy. I see by the number of bytes involved that I might’ve missed some content in that restoration, which is difficult to accomplish using a smart phone.

If there are any more reverts of mention of Storm’s brothers, please refer the editor to the Wikipedia manual of style section on notability when restoring them. Good luck.2601:196:180:DC0:C9FD:7CAD:B5A3:2738 (talk)18:30, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw some delete !votes at that AfD that were basing it on NTRACK and NATH. So we're not allowed to vote keep based off NSPORTS stuff (everything has to pass GNG) but others can use the criteria there to vote delete without even looking for sources? Yeah, that's totally fair. I doubt there was any discussion about what's leftover of NTRACK anyway. Even when 100% of NBA players in history were shown as passing GNG, it wasn't good enough to reinstate NBASKETBALL, so NTRACK doesn't mean squat. NSPORT should just be deleted if people are going to use that leftover undiscussed criteria to delete stuff.~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk)03:54, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• NSPORT is broken and a mess of nonsense at this point. The only possible benefit is passing NATH + one piece of SIGCOV can occasionally result in a keep that would otherwise be delete on the basis that 'fails GNG', although I've only ever seen a small handful of outcomes like that.BeanieFan11 (talk)14:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the other Bud Jorgensen (Carl Jorgensen (American football)) was born in Denmark, so you'd both help out with the European Destubathon (which I need to start working on soon myself) and cleaning up more Packers players.Wizardman02:07, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks!BeanieFan11 (talk)02:48, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ted Hendricks,Jan Stenerud,Daniel Whelan,Steve Morley,Corey Ballentine. This was the list of foreign born Packers I could come up with (noting that they aren't all European and aren't all stubs). If I stumble on any others, I will let you know. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @19:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks -- I'll have to keep these in mind for any other international contests I compete in in the future. I was able to find about four Europe Packers stubs yesterday, so I'll get to expanding those in the coming days.BeanieFan11 (talk)21:00, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      • That was fast! Was going to suggestGust Zarnas to go with the above but looks like you're already on it!Wizardman15:37, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history atUnited Arab Emirates at the 2000 Summer Olympics shows that you are currently engaged in anedit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use thetalk page to work toward making a version that representsconsensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read abouthow this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevantnoticeboard or seekdispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporarypage protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you beingblocked from editing—especially if you violate thethree-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than threereverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.LibStar (talk)03:32, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
