Hi A feed, unfortunately these are just statistic sites, whilst they prove where you play these sites do nog count towards notability as they cover many many players. You need to provide links to articles which discuss you in detail. I would advise you post them at the article discussion noted above rather than here. Fenix down (talk) 09:22, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Page deletion for Afeez Olawale Oladipo

Good morning.. My name is Afeez Olawale Oladipo. I received a message about deleting my page or something. I am playing a professional football with a club in Nepal which i have added some recent Reference to prove i’m still active.so I don’t understand why it will be deleted..Kindly please keep the page for me.. Thank you in anticipation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aphyz (talk • contribs) 04:33, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Afeez, the reason why the page has been nominated is not because it questions your level of professionalism or that of your club but because notability guidelines require either a player to pay in a league where all clubs are fully professional (a list of confirmed leagues can be found here) or where the player has received significant coverage in a number of third party sources per WP:GNG. The article has not yet been deleted and is being discussed here. You are welcome to take part and if you can provide links to sources either discussing your career in detail or interviews with yourself then this will help support your case. Let me know if you have any questions. Fenix down (talk) 08:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Emma Clarke (footballer)

Hi Fenix. For info, I've added a recent source to this article from the BBC. Looks like it will be good for the legacy section. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:45, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

The Emma Clarke page is now subject to reassessment in the light of new primary sources that have emerged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.205.152 (talk) 11:50, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Sorry IP, not sure I understand what you mean? Fenix down (talk) 12:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Well, very soon, some significant changes will be made to this page to reflect new research. I won't change it personally because the editor here will only change it back to its original form. I have wasted too much time changing other pages to make them accurate, without success. I just thought I'd let you know that, at present, this Emma Clarke page has information that needs significant changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.115.36 (talk) 20:34, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
As long as it is reliably sourced and balance is given to existing sources then any additional coverage is welcome. Whilst there is certainly a lot more that could be added I would disagree that there is a lot that needs changing. Fenix down (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
  • A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
  • A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
  • A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
  • Wikipedia policy requires administrators to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

Muangthong United F.C.

This page needs to be protected for another period. SveinFalk (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

The page was vandalised 3 times yesterday, a day after the last protected period ended. I don`t know how to add a protection. SveinFalk (talk) 01:39, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for the late reply, not been editing much recently. Not sure I can protect the page at the moment as the changes being made are to an unreferenced section. Can you add a source that confirms the squad and ensure that the article matches the source? Once this is done, if it is vandalised again I will protect but at the moment it is not possible to tell which version 8s correct, if either. Fenix down (talk) 08:20, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
No, I have currently no source to the squad as it`s between seasons and in the middle of a transferwindow. The idiot(s) who edits the squad again and again are adding players that certainly not will join the club, and removing others who are not leaving. The page has been protected 4 times already in the last month and a half, but as soon as the protection is removed they are back. Registered users are adding/removing real changes to the squad, while the ones with only IP-addresses vandalise the squad. You protected the page a few weeks ago for the same reason, so don`t see any difference now. SveinFalk (talk) 10:04, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
For your information, the page is now protected for 2 more weeks. SveinFalk (talk) 03:57, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Phuentsholing City FC Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hashtag United

Hey, around late August you participated in a discussion t delete Hashtag United's season page. The page ended up being deleted. You mentioned that if they had good coverage and this season was notable then a new discussion could be created. They are currently third in their league. (4 points from first) and a wikipedia page would be the only source for updated fixtures. I think a page should be created. What do you think? IsraeliIdan (talk) 07:12, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

If a Wikipedia page would be the only source for updated fixtures, then that suggests the season is not getting that much coverage, surely? Can you cite any sources that discuss the season to date? There would need to be multiple third party sources per GNG discussing the season and this would need to go further than individual, routine match reporting. Fenix down (talk) 08:14, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Their twitter notably and the league website. http://thurlownunnleague.co.uk/ (div 1 south). In wikipedia the format to see is way easier (colors). IsraeliIdan (talk) 20:13, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Their Twitter and their own league's website are unfortunately not independent sources. WP:GNG requires, that a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. Neither of these would be independent of the subject. Additionally, simple match reporting, league tables and tweets would be merely routine regardless of whether the sources are independent of the subject. Fenix down (talk) 20:40, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Ah, so what would need to happen for them to get a season article. The team HAS been mentioned in big news webpages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zvikorn (talk • contribs) 10:49, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
The season itself would need to get specific, significant, third party coverage. This would take the form of articles discusisng in detail the progress of the team, not just a synthesis of individual match reports. I know the team itself is notable and is mentioned widely despite their low level. This doesn't mean however that individual seasons are notable unfortunately. The best I would recommend is a short summary in the club article, but this should be no more than a paragraph or so and shouldn't contain any lerague or results tables. Fenix down (talk)

List of FIFA World Cup stadiums

Yes you can move the article, no you can't close an AfD like that. If I want it to goto AfD, it goes to AfD. Govvy (talk) 15:12, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

And I closed it because there was clear consensus that it was a notable list in the previous AfD. Nothing has changed since then so there is no need for a separate AfD. Fenix down (talk) 15:57, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naser Etminan

You might want to adjust you close because all Futsal players, teams, tournaments that have articles are added under WP:FOOTBALL. Govvy (talk) 14:48, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Do you mean NFOOTY? That only covers the 11 a side game. There is no mention of futsal. I'm confused. Fenix down (talk) 15:16, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
It shouldn't matter even if it's five a side, NFooty still covers international World Cup Futsal players and it's all football to me, with just a stupid nickname of Futsal!! Govvy (talk) 15:37, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
It doesn't cover world cup futsal players in the same way that it doesn't cover world cup beach soccer. NFOOTY is strictly for the 11 a side version and not any of its varients. That is why it was repeatedly cited in this AfD and has been in numerous other futsal player AfDs. Fenix down (talk) 15:50, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Yes it does, #1 covers Internationals and Olympic Games for the sport. I really don't know how you managed to be an admin... Govvy (talk) 16:25, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
I'm afraid your wrong. Here are some examples confirming it is not not covered by NFOOTY covering a period of years with numerous statements from editors confirming NFOOTY does not cover futsal: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11],[12],[13]. It is quite clear from this consensus that playing internationally or at the Fifa futsal world cup is not notable per NFOOTY. Furthermore, futsal has never been part of the Olympic games so that's nor relevant. I'm not saying I'm the best admin by a long stretch, but one of the things that at least makes me a reasonable admin is I try to back up my statements with research and links to consensus rather than snide personal attacks. I would appreciate it if this could be an end of this c9nversation, a reply from you is neither needed nor wanted, thank you. Fenix down (talk) 17:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – January 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2018).

Guideline and policy news

  1. G14 (new): Disambiguation pages that disambiguate only zero or one existing pages are now covered under the new G14 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-disambig}}; the text is unchanged and candidates may be found in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unnecessary disambiguation pages.
  2. R4 (new): Redirects in the file namespace (and no file links) that have the same name as a file or redirect at Commons are now covered under the new R4 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-redircom}}; the text is unchanged.
  3. G13 (expanded): Userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text are now covered under G13 along with other drafts (discussion). Such blank drafts are now eligible after six months rather than one year, and taggers continue to use {{db-blankdraft}}.

Technical news

  • Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new password policy and requirements. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, et al.) must have a password at least 10 characters in length. All accounts must have a password:
  1. At least 8 characters in length
  2. Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the Password Blacklist library)
  3. Different from their username
User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available on MediaWiki.org.
  • Blocked administrators may now block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A request for comment is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
  • {{Copyvio-revdel}} now has a link to open the history with the RevDel checkboxes already filled in.

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.
  • Around 22% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 20% in June 2018. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

NSEASONS

Hi, I'm a little confused as to why you removed the PROD from 2018–19 Saif Sporting Club season because there is no requirement for a season to be fully professional, yet at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017–18 Leyton Orient F.C. season you state the exact opposite in your delete vote? Has there been a change in consensus since then? Kosack (talk) 19:54, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

The arguments are similar but different. The AfD you noted above illustrates the consensus that in the English pyramid a "top professional league" is a fully professional one, I.e. although the national league is professional it is to low down the pyramid to be considered a "top professional league". I do not interpret that consensus to have global implications. In this instance, discussions at WT:FPL clearly indicated a strong level of professionalism in this competition. As such I feel it is perfectly reasonable, as Bangladesh's top league, for it to be considered a "top professional league". Hope that is clear. Fenix down (talk) 21:45, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Well in the last month alone both The New Saints and Flora Tallinn have had top level seasons deleted, again for the same reason and both probably have more claim to being professional. WP:NSEASONS does say a professional league, not a league with a degree of professionalism which doesn't seem to provide any obvious ambiguity. Kosack (talk) 07:42, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
I would challenge that, both of those leagues are more likely semi professional. The mistake you are making is saying that professional and "fully professional" are the same thing, when they are not. Nseasons does not require fully professional status. Fenix down (talk) 08:16, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
There appears to be an obvious consensus that it does. At the TNS deletion Number 57, when referencing previous AfDs, comments "where it is agreed that there is clear consensus that when applied to football, NSEASONS requires a league to be fully-professional."

Don't delete pages as "expired prod" when the prod was removed

You deleted a page with the reason that its prod had expired when its prod tag had been removed. Do not do that. The next step is to propose it for deletion through the AfD or RfD process. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I received thanks for the prod. I clicked on the thanks and it took me to the page where the tag showed it had been more than 7 days. I didn't realise that was an old version not the current version and that the prod had been removed. I'm happy for redirect to remain, although I would challenge whether an English language redirect is most appropriate for lusophone derbies, but it's a plausible search term.

Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is currently open to reevaluate the activity requirements for administrators.
  • Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent request for comment has amended the blocking policy to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating The Sun as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.

Technical news

  • A discussion regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection is in progress (permalink). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at WP:PERM, where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.

Miscellaneous

  • Voting in the 2019 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Hello!

Just wanted to say the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clarence Bijl is very interesting and the one I personally very much agree with (and again reinforces the fact NFOOTY standards has to be higher but sadly the proposal few days ago failed completely), but I feel someone will go for deletion review here and blame you for WP:SUPERVOTE for straining out whole 9 Keep votes instead of no consensus situation) and it will be messy. I did see majority of the Keep voters violated WP:JUSTAPOLICY and or WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES (I counted at least 6 of those). WP:NFOOTY needs to be changed, as it creates a lot of messy AfDs with football fans voting blindly Keep per WP:NFOOTY. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 19:31, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Johan, I fully expect DRV from this given the number of people that voted keep, but I chose to be bold and close based on the strength of the arguments. NFOOTY only presumes GNG, and as I noted in my closing rationale when the keep votes trying to indicate GNG actually show the exact opposite that massively impacted the strength of the arguments. To be honest I'm torn about the wider NFOOTY appropriateness argument. On the one hand it provides a clear cut off that is easily interpreted, whilst on the other I could not in all good conscience close the AfD as keep based on 16 minutes of fully professional football and a few brief mentions. If someone had been able to cite even one interview with the player of any length I might have thought differently. We'll see what happens, maybe it will jump start a conversation, maybe it won't. Either way a no consensus close in this instance does no one any good. Fenix down (talk) 22:17, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
We will see I guess. I had an alternative proposal in my mind based on WP:NACTOR. 1 match in a professional league can stay, but a player to do that for multiple teams (so two or more). For the rest of the cases GNG would take care of it anyways. There is always WP:IAR for common sense ones too. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 22:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
SportingFlyer pinging for opinions as well on my idea of FOOTY proposal considering I just saw him active here above and he is the football editor here. I am kind of scared to go directly to propose because I don't want to landslide rejected and waste editors time. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 22:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
@Jovanmilic97: It's going to be landslide rejected as football editors remain steadfast against any change whatsoever, but it's worth a shot - nothing to lose! I thought my "90 minutes" proposal quite reasonable since a lot of the AfDs are about players with one substitute appearance, but even that was shot down. SportingFlyer T·C 22:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
SportingFlyer Thanks for being really honest with me. Probably won't considering things all around. I mean there is a reason why 99,99 percent of these footballers AfDs are filled with votes that violate WP:JUSTAPOLICY and it is actually sad. But what can we do. Wikipedia operates on users consensus, football is a popular sport, too many biased fans (and yes, I am assuming WP:AGF but you can edit thinking to contribute to Wiki but still be biased).

heh, I just saw the close and wondered what people might say about it, I think Fenix close is perfectly justified. I kind of went with a weak keep because the player was young and there were a couple of citations. I don't think NFooty needs changing at all, I just feel that people need to abide by GNG stronger over NFooty. Govvy (talk) 16:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, meant to reply to this earlier. What Govvy is saying is exactly what needs to happen. Yes NFOOTY is a presumption of notability but if we go to GNG then that needs to be substantiated. One of the problems with AfD is that it is easy to end up with the same people opining on articles within the same subject, that then becomes consensus through results and people forget about GNG. There's a lot of non notable footballer articles out there and I certainly don't want to start a mass deletion, but as a project we need to get away from NFOOTY being the be all and end all and focus on GNG. I'd expect there to be a minimum of one independent, substantial interview noticeable for all current footballers in FPLs to support GNG. Fenix down (talk) 18:04, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sport_Complex_Podillya

This was a particularly odd nomination, basically that it was short and unsourced. I've since found a few good sources (I searched Podillya Stadion and not its name) and can turn this into at least a good stub article, like: [14] and [15] & [16] (on the stadium renovation), [17] (on the pitch work and the fact it hosts rugby matches.) Just wondering if you would have any objections if I did so as the closer of the AfD. SportingFlyer T·C 03:58, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

In principle no, but perhaps it would be best to build out in the club article first and the fork if necessary. I can't really tell what is in the sources myself but They are all pretty short, so I'm not convinced they would satisfy WP:GEOFEAT simply because there are a few sources about renovation and a brief mention that they also host rugby matches.

I'll flesh out the article in lieu of creating a draft, thanks! SportingFlyer T·C 08:12, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
FYI, I've finished working on it to the extent I will. It's difficult to find sources on the internet before about five years ago for eastern Europe, so a little heavy on the recent stuff, but I still think it easily passes WP:GEOFEAT. SportingFlyer T·C 21:32, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Maybe, im not so sure myself, I'd question whether a fork is really necessary for two short paragraphs? Fenix down (talk) 22:21, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
The stadium's been used by several teams over the years including FC Temp Shepetivka (who won the 1991 USSR Ukrainian version of the FA Vase at the stadium.) I understand in terms of forking, but multiple targets exist, and I do not think that article would have been deleted on WP:GEOFEAT grounds, even as a stub. SportingFlyer T·C 22:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. Given that most of the sources cover the refurbishment i would suggest this was still a bit routine. Personally i wouldnt vote keep based on the content as is. I think it is better in the club article, but have no problem if you want to create a redirect to that section. Fenix down (talk) 18:06, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
