Talk:Beddau RFC

The Welsh rugby football league is a World recognised sporting body with over a hundred years of history and is still supported by thousands of people every week across Wales and also receives televised reporting via the BBC. I am presently trying to create information on all the teams available and hope that others will start to contribute. I am also attempting to hunt referenced work to give credence to all pages created--FruitMonkey 10:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * This article has been deleted once. Do you think re-creating it will make Beddau RFC more notable? WebHamster


 * How do I gain notability? It exists, it's recognised by an international body. It finished 1st in the second tier of Welsh Rugby last season.--FruitMonkey 12:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The point is that its notability does not increase the more times you recreate the page, at least not enough for its own encyclopaedia article. An administrator deemed it to be non-notable enough to be deleted, recreating the same page will not make that different. Do you intend to do a complete article for every team in the league? As it stands it's just one team of many in the WRU. It would be more appropriate to be a part of a list on the WRU page rather than having its own article. I realise that you are likely to be an ardent supporter so please don't take it personally but basically it's just a small town RFC that doesn't really belong in an encyclopaedia. Currently you are looking at it from a supporter's POV and not from an editor's. Please read WikiProject College football/Notability. It's not totally appropriate but it should give you some insight into ways of demonstrating notability. WebHamster 13:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply, this helps. No, I'm not a supporter (of Beddau or any other rugby clubs. I prefer football) and yes I intend to create the history for every single team in the league. The Premier clubs (rugby) have fairly pro pages already created, but not many of the lesser clubs do. I have created about ten pages for other clubs so far and intend to complete the remianing 70 or so over the coming months fleshing them out as I go along.
 * Before you do I'd suggest you comment on your intentions on the talk page of the WRU article. The advice may be to not bother, or it may be on how best to do it. Currently you stand a chance of devoting a lot of time to pages that may get deleted. BTW, just as an aside, I attended Bryn Celynnog in the 70s :) WebHamster 13:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice, I'll do that. Any chance of removing the Sp. Del.? Sorry to hear about your early schooling, hope it didn't so any long term harm.--FruitMonkey 13:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
