covered local sports. And local papers will still, independent of the source, fill their pages with just about any local athlete who has a following, but is that subject notable on a worldwide basis? Probably not. What I am saying is that some judgement is needed here. With the ever shrinking pool of real journalists out there, particularly sports journalists, I think sports specific media will be proven to have more thoughtful judgement of notability than a paper who throws an newsroom assistant in to fill space with a local story. In today's internet news media, any coverage is hit or miss. And when you introduce history into the equation, I'm finding the pool of source material that any search engine can find is actually pretty limited. It is overwhelmed by sites that are not searched by the spiders, documents that haven't been posted and sometimes even by wikipedia's own mirrored presence. Because we have the ill-informed frequently governing and guiding decisions at AfD, we can't allow subjectivity. I understand that. I would like to find terminology that does credit sports specific media with being WELL informed about its subject and a good guide for notability. But we have to be careful to distinguish between the casual mentions and phenomena.
119:, but when I make an articles on a notable academic it is immediately scrutinized and questioned. For instance, I made an article on an important theoretical physicist and string theorist, and it immediately received a notability tag. I see people arguing about notability of academics and dabbling about references all the time. Some of these "questionably notable" academics have published hundreds of papers in their fields. Furthore, if you hit "random article" you will come across tons of random football players with one-line blurbs and stats. I've always felt that Knowledge (XXG) is an encyclopedia, not a baseball card collection. No one is going to care about these run-of-the-mill athletes in twenty years, let alone a hundred. Now, I don't really have a problem with such articles (they are just fluff), but I don't see any point in making them. Meanwhile, many important academics who are making important lasting contributions to their fields (if not by their new discoveries, at least by writing books and papers) are missing from the encyclopedia all together. Anyways, that's my rant. I don't see any easy way to curb this disparity but I wanted to mention it. 1716:
blood and start circling. Yes, I have equated those types of personalities as sharks. Sticking to GNG assumes that all the knowledge of the world is already available on-line and essentially turns references into a locator service for said sources. That might work, kind of, for contemporary subjects, but as you go back though time, on-line sources are (I'll say) exponentially fewer in number. This would hold true for most subjects, but certainly for athletes. However we have also determined through guidelines that if one is notable for historical events, that notability does not disappear. The sources might not be available or could literally disappear (libraries and museums have fires or disasters etc) and cause this to happen. Should we penalize the subject of the article because the internet is not perfect. I think not. If we can find a source that establishes the notability of the subject, that alone should be sufficient to let that article survive. As I have found, when a legitimate article exists, it naturally gets improved over time.
1731:
actually participates; it is what makes them exceptional (positively or negatively) that notability is based on. Consider that you've already advised that local players should not be included due to routine coverage; this needs to extend to pro players as well, otherwise you're treating pro players on a higher level than any other person for Knowledge (XXG). That said, I'm well aware of the sourcing issue - that anyone from pre-Internet age is going to be more difficult to source than those today, but it is not that sources don't exist, just difficult to get. What NSPORT needs to be doing is outlining cases where one is assuredly going to find non-routine coverage of sports figures in reliable sources for that sport. I can easily accept that every first-string pro NFL quarterback and head coach is likely going to be notable since they are the backbone of the success or failure of the team and their decisions overall will be commented on; anyone other position, I question.
2015:
English clubs did have a third team ) Their names appear in the books, but you will find virtually nothing about them, even in local newspapers. In the Netherlands you can become a member of a club when you are six years old and continue to play for them until you're old and grey. (well it used to be like this, in the last 30 years most professional clubs were seperated from their amateur section) Remember there is no such thing like drafts in most countries. players join clubs before they have achieved anything. American journalists were also much more focused on the statistical side of sports than journalists in other countries. Holland is actually one of the most difficult countries in Europe when you want to research appearence records of footballplayers. The available records of the Eredivisie are partly based on some educated guesses. (The Dutch FA threw away all their old records)
3638:
addition how do you manage the temporal changes? Usually US, Russia, Romania, and China are the powerhouses so those 4 countries might have national non champions be notable, but that may change in the future. For example Russia had a break down a while back ago where they really weren't very good compared to the other 3. Countries' order have the disadvantage of changing too often. At one time China was not a powerhouse, but Japan actually was. If a lot of media coverage is about the lead up then they would either qualify under WP:GNG or by winning or placing well in one of the lead up meets in clauses 2 and 3. If you think more meets need to be added to clause 2 or moved from clause 3 to clause 2, that may very well be true. Lets discuss that, I just quickly tried to provide examples off the top of my head when I wrote it. --
3488:@TCO I think you misread the notability guidelines, a gold medal is not required for notability. Can you specifically mention which parts are too harsh. Clearly, as the guidelines are written, all of the gymnasts you mentioned are notable under bullet 1, and for example Rebecca Bross is notable under bullets 1,3, and 4. Only one needs to be satisfied for notability. Basically any national champ (from a top 12 country) is notable, anyone who competed at an olympics or WC is notable, anyone who medaled at a less prestigious international level event is notable, and everyone who has won minor international senior competitions is notable. What do you find wrong here? -- 406:
assert their notability" might be overkill. I don't foresee *that* many instances of this eventuality happening, and we can just address them on a case-by-case basis if they do. In England, for example, no amateur teams can qualify for the League Cup, and only 32 amateur teams qualify for the First Round Proper of the FA Cup; taking into account the fact that non-league teams sometimes get drawn against each other, and only a handful of non-league teams make it through to the second round, you're looking at maybe 25 out of a possible 214 FA and League Cup games where you have a pro team playing a competitive match against an amateur team in any given season. --
687:
article is sufficient, and that was the point that I was making on that discussion (I might not have worded it correctly, but I wasn't trying to imply that you can simply ignore GNG if ATH is met, because I have never thought that) - but that's beside the point to this discussion. All I was trying to do was simply add a caveat to the guideline to ensure that players who play in cup games between fully professional teams are considered equally alongside those who play in league games between fully professional teams, so that - in conjunction with the GNG standards - the guideline can be used to help inform editors as to whether an article should be created. --
2424:
page as a whole is deserving of being a wikipedia guideline. Otherwise I will do exactly as I threaten. I'm in no doubt that something will happen, as it is beyond question that the wider wikipedia community will not settle for nothing being done in an area which has such a huge impact on the quality of our BLPs as a whole. As an aside, check out my recent contributions to see the quality of articles that doing (a-word-that-I'm-better-off-not-using) all to improve the guideline will leave us with. Articles that I haven't prodded are articles that pass this guideline, and will fail at AfD because WikiProject Football treat this as canon law, as you well know.
4240:
including the amateurs, but that is a very limited few. Making the cut against the best of the best, as it were, should certainly make one notable. I don't think we would be "letting" very many new articles be created under that standard. If there were some amateur out there who played well enough to get in to the major tournament, played over his head and made the cut against the big boys, then disappeared off of the scene forever, that in itself would make that person notable enough to be subject of an article. In my sport, I've written many articles about people who have (had success at major events, then disappeared) done things just like that.
2535:-y to suggest that the sun does not shine out of this guideline's arse for every sport? Is it point-y to suggest that the decision to promote was hasty? Even if I (uneasily) accept that it was appropriate to promote at that time, is it point-y to remind editors here that the recommendations set by the admin at the time of promotion have not been met, or that the inertia on this talk page reduces the possibility of them ever being met? This guideline got through because editors of the sports for which it works very well argued, in sufficient numbers, that the guideline in its entirety should be promoted, despite the fact that large parts of it simply 3611:. Under the current guidelines she would have attained automatic notability in March 2010 with her all around win at a minor international competition (clause 3). She also would have attained notability by her pacific rim performance with her podium finish in the all around and beam and floor exercise would give her notability under clause 2. So she already qualified well before you created the page. Perhaps the American cup is at a higher level than I have it as and it should be moved to clause 2, but I think there really isn't enough good international competitors to warrant that. 2718:
just feel we end up with a lot of articles about NN-kids sourced in insignificant news-reports. But if any people will save it, they will be found here. Just notice how the first person replying here is the person who has made a lot of this articles (even if this not was very clear from the answer.). Canvassing? Why do you bother to imply such a thing? I am honestly looking for a place to get some discussion about it, someone wants to nominate a massive amounts of articles for deletion, there are far to few !votes at the AfD, and this thing is not easy.
2565:
football project about it nor do I see a section here specifically on the football aspect of things, so I can't see anywhere that this has been brought up amongst the people who would know best. What I suggest you do is create a new section below (ie don't continue this one) and make a recomendation for what you think the guideline should be. And then link from the footy project that the soccer notability guidelines are being rediscussed . Anything less than that isn't truely trying to discuss the situation. -
3615:
mainstream media. However, this qualifies her as notable under WP:GNG. She may also qualify under the College Athlete section (I don't know about what kind of awards she received). Anyway the point is for this section that we include bright line guidelines that guarantee media coverage. Zamarippa's qualifications are too subjective or case specific to be made into a general guideline that would be useful for many gymnasts. In cases like these its best to use WP:GNG in my opinion. What do you think. --
1959:. The error in promoting this is now manifesting; very little work was done to improve ATHLETE for the biggest sport in the world, and most problematic sport on Knowledge (XXG). Of the identified 25,000 unreferenced BLPs site-wide, nearly 1,600 of them are association footballers. Sure, part of that is down to the nationalities of notable association footballers compared to baseball or American football players, but a lot of it is down to the fact that a lot of them really are not that notable. 1739:
All these cases should be taken as rules of thumbs, with allowances both above and below the line when they make sense. A player that only plays 4 unremarkable minutes in a pro game and has nothing else may be able the line to be kept, but clearly isn't notable; at the same time, a draft rookie player that was promoted to be the season-changing player that suffers a pre-season injury that ends his career prematurely, never having played a pro game, will likely be notable and be kept. --
3543:
international meet is notable via clause 3. Anyone who has been on the podium at a prestigious area meet is notable via clause 2. Anyone who has ever competed in any Olympics or world championships regardless of how well they performed is notable by clause 1. Do you think we need to add a clause to make it more inclusive to people who will always satisfy WP:GNG. I do not think you have provided an example of a notable gymnast that was not covered by the clauses already up there.
657:
to their own on what is and isn't acceptible IMO. Back to the main point though, I disagree that WP:FOOTY is particularly good at maintaining standards in articles. There are individual editors that are fantastic at it, indeed certain groups of editors keep certain categories of articles maintained to a high standard. But on a project wide basis? I'd say that at best we struggle. Certain editors are creating articles with little regard to the GNG, and certain others
2409:? I would have thought a much higher number! Seriously, though, I've been watching this talk thread even though I haven't said anything until now. WFC, obviously you don't need my permission to do anything, obviously, but my unsolicited advice would be not to make the proposal you just described. It would be a lot more efficient, and a lot less likely to be met with howls of opposition, to work on improving what we have here. For whatever that's worth. -- 4409:
scripted or not is irrelevant--yes, titles aren't won based on talent...at least, not directly. The promotions decide who gets the titles, and they (almost always) give them to people who have distinguished themselves, so there is very little difference. In this sense, despite their pre-determined outcomes (I'll resist the temptation to launch into a discussion of point shaving, gambling, and thrown games), they can be seen as athletic competitions.
31: 315:
professional, that country's main domestic cup competition would be fully professional too, and therefore cup games between clubs from the pro league would meet the notability guidelines. For countries where the league is not fully professional, it would be impossible for the cup competition to contain games between fully professional clubs, and they would fail the guideline. Does that make sense? It's a little convoluted, I know... --
2732:"Just notice how the first person replying here is the person who has made a lot of this articles"? I haven't edited any of them at all. That claim gives me the impression that Greswik is attempting to paint my opinion as somehow of less value or to be ignored. I've made articles on medal winners at the Games, yes. I don't see how that's relevant to the events articles, which I haven't touched. Care to retract that statement? 1815:, all which are based on exceptional contributions to the field. Of course, for a person to become a major motion picture star, they've likely had to take on a number of mediocre roles that would be non-notable for purposes of Knowledge (XXG), just has athletes would need to show their abilities at college or amateur levels before they become pros, and for that, most will not be notable (when one takes into account 4412:
links can be made between professional wrestlers and athletes. I believe that it is important to ask the question: Is notability better demonstrated by requiring wrestlers to switch employers to demonstrate notability in order to appear on multiple television shows, or is it better to stick with the guideline that the subject must be discussed in multiple independent, published, reliable secondary sources?
2369:
partly rehashed versions of what we had before. ATHLETE should then be restored in WP:BIO, with a note that it is superceeded by any sports listed here. That would strengthen the better parts of this (hockey, baseball etc) and at the same time provide acknowledgement and awareness of the fact that other sports remain problematic and remain largely influenced by the widely discredited ATHLETE. --
1787:
slightest. That being said, the soccer standards seem to be out of line with the rest of the major sports. All the other major sports require you to play at the #1 league in the world or a significant amount of time in a secondary one. Perhaps the football project could work on their section to bring it into line with the other sports. This might allay some of the concerns. -
2827:
reasonably sure that the subject will meet the GNG. These, however, are recent events for which, if they were notable, sufficient coverage should have been easy to find. The fact that this was not clearly the case, and that the AfD ended in no consensus, is a very good reason not to qualify such articles (Youth olympic events and competitors) for automatic inclusion.
3665:
a darnded strong gymnastics field.) Plus AC has and will be in the WC circuit anyhow. On the men's side, it draws good competition and always has and doesn't get all this "scam" whining. Realistically, countries and people are just not crazy about sending schoolage girls trecking across the ocean except for WC and Olys. Whereas Fabian or Jordan, it's no big deal
2471:
on the wiki. In fact the more people make threats on the wiki the less things actually happen. Thats why it took this guideline about 5 years to get promoted. This wasn't some spur of the moment change. Things generally work better if you attempt to work on improving it instead of making threats and assuming bad faith of everything. The community as a whole
3402:. That's the intent of this page anyway: to provide guidance as to who passes GNG, not to usurp GNG. If we were to go along the route you propose, I would feel strongly that we need to set limits on placing strongly, such as a podium placement. Otherwise, we will quickly find ourselves back at the old "has competed at the highest level" and came in last. -- 3814:"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." I might have misread this. Took independent of the sport, to mean "not sport specific". But maybe the intention is more that it not be league-sponsored? 242:
and the surrogate we use, evaluating the importance of papers, is sometimes a little tricky,because of the different standards in different fields and the lack of a clear touchstone. But another problem is that there is an unfortunate skepticism here about the importance of academic teachers and researchers, especially in some subjects such as Education.
1933:
that same player certainly is not. The problem comes when "BigCity Gazette" (aka New York Times) covers a local high school player in the same manner they would cover a local professional player and a non-local professional player. We have to use good judgement here as to when that source is really of a scale that would be considered notable for WP. --
1542:
support of the global community as a guideline which means if its met then you keep it. This is something that is often forgotten when it comes to wikipedia policies/guidelines. Note this isn't a comment on if I think this should be the case or not, but if you are seeing it widely used as a keep reason, that is often proof it has consensus to be so. -
3781:
box score (once) in the Washington Post would get it done for pro sports. Also, you say, don't worry because of GNG, but I get concerned that now people will not consider IG as a good source (and that's the one that has all the details on actually doing tricks or status of training or any kind of detail other than score or placement at Olys).
1668:
time (particularly for past athletes) that there are no sources being added, it's not showing notability in the long run. So NSPORT needs to work not as alternative to the GNG, but as a implicit acknowledgment of working towards the GNG. But I wouldn't argue that at any immediate time, an article that meets NSPORT must also meet the GNG. --
2311:
possibly type this), consider whether or not to put the matter to central discussion. But I've tried enough times to initiate the process, strongly believe that a large majority of non-sports editors and even a significant proportion of sports editors think that the bar is too low for association football, yet nothing has happened. --
3834:
to make use of sources that are associated in some way with the subject matter, generally speaking, of the page being written. The caution here would be that, perhaps, some source created by the sport might be a kind of promotional material that would not, really, be intellectually independent. But if (and I'm taking your word here)
3521:
I think wikipedia, which is pretty male skewed, may not realize how many women watch gym or skating. Add onto that, the smaller number of competitors, and I wouldn't be the least surprised that some "bubble girl" in the drive to the Olympics had higher name recognition than a practice squad linebacker, who got called up once.
1388:
would actually have the references required and instead have only done a google search. By introducing the kind of sentencing you want at the top of the page, you weaken the point of this page. Simply point people making the argument you don't like to this page, which does already clearly indicate that GNG superseeds it. -
1500:
there were opposers who saw the positives in this, albeit complimented by supporters with a few reservations. It's testament to the work done here that it got a majority. And given that most people elabourated on their positions, the numerical count was probably a better evaluation of consensus than a poll usually is.
3206:
level leagues. This page is really more about whether or not articles meet the GNG. WP:NOTSTATS is a completely different matter which doesn't really belong here. I think it was talked about previously but I am not sure, take a spin through the archives of this page there might be some interesting points in there. -
2646: 4402:
ambiguous as "a large fan base". The closest it gets is "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Obviously, the only part that applies is multiple television shows. Would this mean that a wrestler is not notable if he or she works for only
1757:
are they are notable for amateur soccer or they wouldn't have been boosted to pro. Notability doesn't begin at some high 1st string level, notability often begins years before a player has even turned pro which is why we use the pro line as a clear red line of when they are likely to meet notability guidelines. -
2623: 3334:
similar). Major powers like Russia or China have notability for their top amateurs as well. And they meet in (US) nationally televised meets and such. Even less powerful countries are not an issue for their athletes as their is an inherent "level" of elite and the numbers of total athletes are small.
4459:
This guideline isn't applicable because pro wrestling isn't a sport. Outcomes are determined in advance, rather than being the result of competition. As such, its practitioners are performers, not athletes. The industry structure argument you make applies just as easily to things like musical theater
4401:
I don't understand the decision to declare WP:ATHLETE not applicable to professional wrestlers. The phrasing of WP:ENTERTAINER makes it clear that it is not appropriate for professional wrestling--it would certainly be a huge mistake to leave notability open to interpretation in terms of something as
4223:
I think one of the guidelines needs to be editted. Allowing anyone who makes the cut at a major to be notable seems to be a low standard. I propose this be changed to "finished top 10 or low amateur". 10 is a bit arbitrary, if anyone has a better number lets go with that (perhaps the number that gets
3838:
is a journalistically independent secondary source, that does not have a stake in pumping up (pun unintended) a particular gymnast, and is not trivial in what it covers, then I would think it could be used as a source to establish notability for a biography of a gymnast. The coverage would have to be
3760:
I agree, gymnastics is a borderline sport in terms of pros and amateurs all competing in the same high level competitions. Perhaps it should be placed in the pro section. I am not too familiar with the money aspect of gymnastics so if you feel pro is a more accurate description than I would recommend
3664:
I donno, man. Maybe, move World cup down! In terms of TV coverage, the AC gets more than some random WC and feels mores "special", even if it is US dominated (which is not the worst thing given this is the English language wiki and also given teh country has 300 million people, size of Europe, plus
3614:
I want to move commonwealth games to clause 2, I did not realize how many good countries actually competed in that competition. Your point about Zamarippa is well taken. As an NCAA champion and also a contender for the national team due to her vault abilities she did receive significant coverage from
3520:
I'm still a little chapped about the football player notability (and I am a red blooded American male, go Skins). Right now, a single snap qualifies for notability, even in the Arena Football League. Yeah, gym is not the super bowl, but still like I said, NBC carries a fair amount of it. And also,
3455:
Tryptofish. I'm firing off comments without taking time to read the materials. I know you asked for feedback and didn't get much from the gym crowd. That project seems a bit moribund actually. Let me please take the time to read through the other sports, read and think through the GNG, purpose of
3370:
NCAA: Would treat it like football or baseball or something. I could look into sports specific criteria if needed. It's at the same "level" as those sports, formally. And while the sports are not as popular, the numbers of athletes are much smaller (9 dressing for a meet, versus 100 in football).
3186:
Certainly all affected projects should be invited to participate. I wanted to establish that there was interest in developing a guideline beyond my own take on the matter first. No official proposal has been made, after all. If the feedback is just "use WP:GNG", then there's no need to make a change.
2310:
I think it would be constructive for the NSPORTS community to look at the association football criteria, and decide whether they are in line with other athletes. If so... well... presumably everything's hunky-dory. If not, figure out how we get there, and when WP:FOOTY inevitably tells us to (I can't
2241:
Sure, up in the lead, but if people are trying to argue "keep" based on just meeting a mechanical requirement, the message of that statement is not being made apparent. I can't see how restarting that lower down - particularly right in the section where the criteria are listed, cannot hurt to remind
1786:
I can't speak to soccer because I don't follow it. I know for any of the four major sports in north america, a single appearance in any pro game at any level and you can guarantee to have many many articles written about you. I agree articles need sources, I definitely don't disagree with that in the
1738:
Of course, NSPORT has passed, and there's no point to try to revert that. But that means we have to understand why it was opposed, in part to its laxness. Thus, the case listed above of an athlete with 4 whole minutes of playtime to his name should not be mechanically kept just because it meets this.
1715:
I'll rehash a bit of my argument from earlier. By blindly sticking to an ambiguous standard "significant coverage" of GNG, WP is artificially limiting the knowledge it can host. Just how much is "significant"? Two sources, three, ten? If you get the wrong AfD people in an argument, they could see
1387:
The reason you get people arguing along those lines is that NSPORTS is meant to protect articles from over zealous delete attempts. Most of the time the people who are saying that an article which meet NSPORTS but which they say doesn't meet GNG haven't actually done a thorough search of sources that
1163:
I understand your view, but I think many AfD comments skip over the GNG because it can be challenging to know whether the coverage included in the article is trivial/routine (and even more whether the coverage available but not cited in the article is trivial/routine) rather than because they believe
241:
One problem is that with academics there is no simple standard, as there is here. (I have proposed one, full professor in a research university, but it has not been accepted). Evaluating the fundamental intrinsic importance of someone's academic work is not something we are normally qualified to do,
199:
I was just speaking in generalities. I don't know enough about that sport to speak to it. The ice hockey example above for example is a player who has played at the top level of play that any ice hockey player can achieve, the fact someone created the page is proof that years and years later someone
4408:
WP:ATHLETE has always made more sense, as wrestling is structured like any other major sports. There are independent promotions (similar to major junior or minor professional leagues), developmental territories (similar to farm teams), and major promotions (similar to the big leagues). Whether it is
3833:
who would potentially be the, well, subject of the biographical page, not the sport in which the person participated (although I can see now how that could be considered the subject area, more generally). It seems to me that, whether we are talking about sports or about anything else, one almost has
3699:
Plus, realistically the US is way overnotable (in a name recognition sense) given the combination of both pretty darned good gymnastics and number of English speakers. I mean if you look at some of the bloggers, Rick is Canadian and Bridge is Aussie, but they both cover Ami gym in a lot of detail.
3546:
NCAA: I would not support anything that grants inherent notability to people for NCAA accomplishments beyond ones covered in the college athlete section. In general only the NCAA national championships gets network media coverage (and I think thats really only the womens side to be honest), and here
3417:
Are you familiar with the sport, to make an objection and have a feel for relative notability? There are a lot of women following skating and gymnastics, so its not the typical football/basketball crowd, but the sport still gets television and has audience and Q share and some of the athletes (e.g.
2498:
Also a suggestion might be to you know ask the footy project to see if they can't come up with more specific guidelines. I notice you hadn't put a notice on their talk page at all, and without the help of the "experts" its pretty hard to expect the wider community who don't know about soccer to come
2470:
You keep assuming bad faith of editors here. I would suggest you stop doing that. We have no vested interest other than that of any other editor on the wiki. If you want to improve something then suggest a fix. All you have done so far is say this is bad and make threats. That is not how things work
2328:
is, nothing has changed in that respect. Nothing got worse with this change, if anything it got better. Do some of the guidelines need to be tweaked, yeah probably. But that is another matter than reversing all the work that has been done by numerous people and took about 5 years to be implemented. -
2224:
Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an
2118:
And that's a problem; notability is not just meeting a simple criteria about that topic; it is how well we can actually talk about that person beyond basic details (this for sports figures includes their play stats, etc.) NSPORTS' criteria cannot be taken mechanically , as Seraphimblade points out -
1836:
Actually thats a poor analogy. Playing at the highest professional level is like being an entertainer in a huge blockbuster movie or an academy award nominated movie. Its not like just being a professional entertainer. Plenty of people watch and are entertained by secondary leagues, but they are not
1756:
The thing that is often forgotten, and maybe its that people don't agree. Is that in order to make it to the professional leagues even if its only for 4 minutes means that you were probably a notable amateur player.

I'm confident that the above is correct. But let's suppose I'm wrong.

Aslo to Codf1977's comment: NSPORT was passed through global consensus before it was asserted to be a guideline (I still disagree with the laxness of it, but admit that the RFC for it received consensus).

But it is not a fully pro fixture if only one team is fully pro. However, anomolies remain: this would give notability to members of two fully pro Conference sides if they are drawn together in the FA Cup, but not if the two teams play each other the preceding week in the league, and yet the league

For what it's worth, my interest was first brought here by the same kinds of concerns that Danski14 has. And in my opinion, the current NSPORT is indeed a big improvement over the old ATH, as WFC said. There's a part of me that wants to argue with DJS about the athlete/scientist thing, but that part

Sadly something that is often forgotten, is that it is likely that people actually are going to care about the athletes in 20+ years, and are not going to care about the scientist. That is how society in general feels about athletes and scientists. Knowledge (XXG) isn't revolutionary in that regard,

The problem that ATH and NSPORT still has is that it presumes playing in the game makes one notable. It's becoming clear that that is not the case, at least when put up against every other bio-related notability approach - participation is not the same as notability, no matter how much that player

Ok, I see the types of cases you seem to be talking about where technically based on the language they pass ATH/NSPORT (I think the cases you list would still meet NSPORT) but, through common sense, clearly shouldn't. This was one of the issues I had with NSPORT in development in that these aren't

Skipping over the GNG where no-one has commented (and it can therefore be assumed that either no-one cares or no-one saw fit to mention it) is one thing. Actively saying "well he passes ATHLETE so he doesn't need to meet the GNG, he's notable" is quite another. As you say, the bright-line level is

Under this wording if the person plays in a cup competition for a fully-pro side against an amatuer or semi-pro side they would not be notable. Surely they would be just as notable as someone playing for fully pro against fully pro. It would be the players from the non fully-pro which would not be

Sorry, but I have to ask: why bother? If someone only plays a cup game and then never again, the chances are that they aren't notable. If they go on to play league games then they are covered by the guideline. The only thing this means is that people don't start an article on someone if they make

JonB, you have my sympathy! At this point, taking into account the controversies about cup playing, I think the correct thing for NSPORT to do is to leave mention of cups out. That puts it back to GNG, where it should be, instead of opening up what appears to be a dubious shortcut here.

It would also leave many dozens of articles standed as they have been created for footballers who have played only one cup game. Limited coverage, youth/reserve team players, would fail GNG. As examples I would point out:-
