Supporting guidance
Definitions
- First grade is defined by this wikiproject as the top competition in any country at any given time presuming that the competition has notability in itself and its country. Note: This is not a guideline, but helps define a term used in the below guidance. Current first grade competitions are the Australasian National Rugby League and the European Super League.
- A permastub is an article currently a stub that has no reasonable prospect for expansion. (taken from essay WP:PERMASTUB)
The rule 1 was ratified on 12 November 2008 (evidence). The rule 2 was ratified on 9 March 2009 (evidence).
In relation to biographies
- Any current or former rugby league player who has played first grade rugby league should be eligible for an article on the condition that it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources.
- Any current or former rugby league player who has played none or limited first grade rugby league should not be eligible for an article unless it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources. However, normally these players only have information listed on their club's official website, which is a violation of Independent of the subject in the general notability guideline.
- Any current or former rugby league player who has none or limited first grade rugby league but has played in international representative fixtures is eligible for an article on the condition that it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources.
- Any current or former rugby league coach of a first grade team should be eligible for an article on the condition that it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources.
- Any current or former rugby league coach who has done none or limited coaching of a first grade team should not be eligible for an article. Normally these coaches only have information listed on their club's official website, which is a violation of Independent of the subject in the general notability guideline.
- Referees, no matter their statistics as such, should not be eligible for an article unless it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources. Normally, referees are not notable enough to warrant information of their lives to warrant a reliable secondary sourced article, therefore resulting in a useless permastub..
- Commentators, no matter their history as such, should not be eligible for an article unless it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources. Normally, commentators are not notable enough to warrant information of their lives to warrant a reliable secondary sourced article, therefore resulting in a useless permastub.
- Officials, organisers and administrators, no matter their history as such, should not be eligible for an article unless it meets the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources. Normally, officials, organisers and administrators are not notable enough to warrant information of their lives to warrant a reliable secondary sourced article, therefore resulting in a useless permastub.
- Any biography in which they are claimed to be notable based on the team/competition in which they relate to, should not be eligible for an article based on the notability of the team/competition unless the biography establishes notability of itself while meeting the general notability guideline including reliable secondary sources.
The rules 1-7 were ratified on 12 November 2008 (evidence) and rules 6-7 amended on 9 March 2009 (evidence). The rules 8-9 were ratified on 9 March 2009 (evidence).
