Sports seasons / deletion of Bekescsaba 1912 Elore season article
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Demokra (talk) 12:43, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
BLP1E
I didn't get a chance to reply to your last comment before the AFD closed.
WRT Sullenberger, after going through the firehose of hundreds of RS saying essentially the same thing about his heroic landing, on the morning after that event, I found half a dozen, or a dozen, references to his career PRIOR TO the landing. He had been a senior figure in the airline pilots organization. He had worked as a crash investigator. He had been an invited speaker at conferences on airline safety. He had written papers on airline safety. He had recently incorporated a consulting firm focussed on airline safety. My conclusion then was that if a well written article had been written about him, prior to the crash, people would recognize that he was, at least, on the cusp of measuring up to our notability criteria. I would have left a keep on that article.
So, no, I reject your claim he was, that he is, a BLP1E. Clearly, no one who is played by Tom Hanks is a BLP1E. But even before the movie he was not a BLP1E. Even before the landing he was not a BLP1E. Geo Swan (talk) 14:59, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Would you dismiss this article as well? Geo Swan (talk) 15:15, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Theresa Greenfield
You said your piece at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Theresa Greenfield, and consensus determined that Greenfield is sufficiently notable for an article. Please stop re-adding a merger template in what appears to be an attempt to WP:FORUMSHOP yet another discussion on what has been firmly decided less than an hour ago. If you think ST47's close was improper, discuss that at the appropriate place, but don't try to start a separate discussion to throw away all of the discussion that just happened. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:34, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GorillaWarfare: I did not participate in the discussion which gained consensus on WP:GNG because while I participated in the discussion as a whole, it was not the correct place to discuss content. The closing administrator clearly noted that AfD is an option, and just because an article passes WP:GNG does not mean we can have an article, as WP:NOT supercedes it. I picked what I believed to be a less controversial option to actually discuss the content. SportingFlyer T·C 22:37, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- If you really think the discussion and close were improper, you can start a discussion on that, and then the notability can be revisited if such a determination is made. But don't force people to have the same conversation all over again when it was just decided. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GorillaWarfare: Where would you recommend having a discussion for an AN close regarding deletion? I figured the merge discussion was the correct course of action here. SportingFlyer T·C 22:50, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- I would just do it at AN right alongside the discussion. Well, I wouldn't do it at all, but if you want to know where to do it that's what I'd suggest. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GorillaWarfare: Cheers. I've decided against, especially since I've discovered there will be support for an AfD if she loses. Just a very frustrating experience on the whole. SportingFlyer T·C 22:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

List of universities in Zambia revert
While I could really give a crap if you "improve" the list, doing so by adding unreliable primary references that are not independent from the schools is not going to help. The same goes for government education authority websites like www.hea.org.zm. As they are not independent either. Generally, the same notability standards apply to items in lists then they do to everything in Wikipedia. Also, the first explanatory sentence "This is a list of registered universities in Zambia" doesn't need to be referenced. As it's a clear, un-refutable statement of fact about the list. Just like "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article" in WP:N doesn't need to be sited. Especially four times. If they are websites that are useful to the subject, but not being used as a refence for a specific thing, just add them to the external link section where they belong and will actually be useful. That's the whole point in it. Also, a list shouldn't be primary external links. It should be more blue links then anything. Otherwise, it's just a directory. So, there can still problem even if the entries are reliable sourced. While personally I'm fine with some entries being only externally linked, I don't think it is fine if there's only like two blue links out of like 40 entries and the rest are red, or externally linked. I don't feel like getting in an edit war over it either or having all the work I've done cleaning up the lists reverted just because you don't feel like following standards. Hopefully your reasonable about things so neither of those happen. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Other
- @Adamant1: I checked with the school project before making any edits. The list is fine. I do plan to look at other lists where you've removed valid list items under the guise of improvement. Please do not interact with me on my talk page any further. If you wish to discuss an article's content, I am happy to engage you on the talk page of that particular article. SportingFlyer T·C 19:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- SportingFlyer, don't take me commenting on your talk page as a slight or anything. It's merely an attempt to work things out in a civil manor before they needlessly escalate. If your going to "look over" the other lists I edited, which seems like WP:WIKIHOUNDING, then this is a personal problem between us and not something to do with any particular article. As such, I assume a persons talk page is the correct place to discuss it. That said, if you rather have the discussion on my talk page instead for whatever reason I'd be fine with that. Hopefully either is OK, because I'm not talking about "lists of schools in African" on the talk page of List of universities in Zambia. As that's not what it's for. That aside, do you have a link to the school project discussion that you say you had? The last time I checked, Wikiproject's are not authoritative on anything and they can't over rule long standing, consensus based policies like WP:NOTDIR, WP:RS, or WP:LISTN. I don't think you saying "I talked to a Wikiproject" is a good rebuttal to me bringing them up either. Ultimately, your the one reverting my edits and doing other things related to them. Not a Wikiproject. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:01, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Adamant1: Please stop posting on my talk page. SportingFlyer T·C 20:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Are you willing to have the discussion on my talk page then? If so, I can copy and paste it there. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 27

"Good faith" reverts
There's nothing in "good faith" about saying your going to review someone edits which is clear hounding and reverting a bunch of them. Plus, if there was any good intent behind your actions then you would have discussed it when I tried to so exactly this kind of thing wouldn't happen. The guidelines are pretty clear there's two cases where the speedy delete can removed. If the article isn't promotional or the person improves the article. Neither of which apply, but the articles you removed the speedy delete from were clearly promotional and after removing it you just moved on and didn't improve anything. I have zero problem with you removing a speedy delete that I added here and there because the article can be improved. That's clearly not what your doing though. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:12, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Hamilton newspaper
You mentioned that you'd done an on-line search of the Hamilton newspaper archives. Could you provide a link to that database? Thanks, Cbl62 (talk) 22:39, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: I just went to the Hamilton Spectator and typed "Willie Thornton" into the search box, then I typed in "Tiger-Cats" and sorted in reverse to see how far back the online archive went. Surprised there wasn't a mention and you may have more luck with a different search. It's not foolproof but when I'm trying to save or research say African articles typically the newspaper websites themselves do a better job of finding results than the major search engines. I think he pretty clearly fails WP:GNG, but meeting a sports SNG while failing GNG is a time-honoured argument - perhaps you'll have better luck than I did? SportingFlyer T·C 00:03, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. Cbl62 (talk) 00:45, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for making these nominations, and of course it's none of my business, but can you slow down a bit since it's hard to keep up with all of them? Bearian (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Bearian: I've only made I think one or two nominations. I asked for a slowdown Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_union#Major_League_Rugby_deepdive here, but that may not have been understood correctly. SportingFlyer T·C 18:39, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Bearian (talk) 19:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi SportingFlyer, just thought i'd let you know that some of the articles still have minimal participation. These include Lorenzo Maria Bruno, Moni Tongaʻuiha, Nick Feakes, Jojo Tikoisuva, Mo Katz, Jake Turnbull, Michael Reid, Dylan Taikato-Simpson. It'd be great if you could look at some of these to try and create greater consensus. Also, if these are closed as 'No consensus' do you think I should re-list them or just add ref improve and verifiability tags to the pages? Many thanks. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 13:13, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Nice turn of phrase
I like your recent "not-youth-sportsy enough" comment. I may borrow it at some point. Cbl62 (talk) 00:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Emmet House Site
Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. That article was really puzzling me, but I never made the leap to realising that the sources were talking about two different buildings. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Lord Belbury: No worries! I was extremely confused as well so I went to see which edits I had made to it, it wasn't immediately obvious at all! SportingFlyer T·C 19:09, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
Question
Question, what are the notability guidelines for college football coaches. I assumed since Liberty is a top 25 school their Defensive coordinator would meet this but if not please explain them. Brosenow (talk) 23:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Brosenow: He didn't look like he passed WP:GNG to me, but I wasn't going to send the article to AfD since college football articles are hit-or-miss. That's probably not helpful, but that was the logic I used when reviewing the article. SportingFlyer T·C 07:40, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
ArbCom 2020 Elections voter message
Category:Basketball players from Shkodër
I think you might have been better off nominating this for CfD AFTER the NYC/LA discussion had been completed. That way we might have landed in a place where demonstrably defining cases of the intersection of specific athlete and city would stay but taking it down to every little city would not - we would have a line. With this absurdly small Shkodër category not being merged (no consensus with about 3 participants), we are going to see every little burg category now. The user who created Shkodër is already on a tear creating new categories in this structure. I generally agree with you about these categories, but it feels like now the floodgates are open on them. Rikster2 (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Rikster2: That's not good. I assumed we could at least agree that the WP:SMALLCAT categories would be deletable, and that seemed the smallcattiest of any of them. I guess there's nothing stopping the other categories from being nominated. SportingFlyer T·C 20:37, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I notice your DYK hook was promoted to prep, but it should not have been with all those bare URLs, per Rule D3. Additionally, your subscription to Newspapers.com encourages you to clip the news articles so other readers can view them. I clipped and formatted footnote 1 to show you how it's done. Please let me know if you can take care of the URLs and the news clippings in the next day or so, or if I should return your nomination to the noms page until these matters are taken care of. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:32, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Hi, I'm not sure I understand, as the article didn't have a single bare url at the time of submitting to DYK. There were a couple that were missing the publication name and one was missing the date as well, but my understanding is that those aren't "bare," but if this is what you mean I can fix those easily. However, I will unfortunately not be making the clippings from newspapers.com. SportingFlyer T·C 23:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I've fixed the remaining citations. SportingFlyer T·C 23:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing the URLs. I don't understand your reluctance to clip the newspaper articles. Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to share over email if it's an issue. SportingFlyer T·C 15:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- You can email me through Wikipedia. Go to my talk page and click on "Email this user" in the toolbox at left. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:06, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hallo, you participated in this discussion in its early stages. Therefore, I would take the liberty to ask you if you would like to review 2014–15 FC Winterthur season again. In the meantime, I have added texts and citations. Perhaps you would like to add a new comment, and perhaps with a couple of suggestions, to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014–15 FC Winterthur season discussion page. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your participation and please feel free to delete this message from your page, if you so wish.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/100px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
Hello SportingFlyer,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
