Notability
Hi. I don't want to get into an edit war. I marked the articles "reviewed", but the tag indicates that the current sourcing does not show they pass notability. It shouldn't be removed until sourcing which shows the notability is added. Keep up your good work.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Bloom6132 (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
 * ICS Zulu.svg BennyOnTheLoose (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

Reverts
Please stop reverting my redirects. These are sub-stubs that plainly violated WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." If and when someone can expand with SIGCOV, the redirects can be reversed. Until then, redirects are the appropriate remedy. Cbl62 (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Users are allowed to revert non-discussed redirects if they think that it was the wrong action. Mass redirecting of National Football League players is something that I completely disagree with. These articles need to be discussed. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:37, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please understand that things cannot be left "as is". These sub-stubs are in clear and explicit violation of WP:SPORTBASIC. A redirect is a far better alternative to deletion. Deletion results in a complete loss of the information. The redirects maintain the edit history and send the viewer to a list that has all the same core details that were present in the sub-stubs. I am happy to discuss, but you need to have a policy-based reason for reverting the redirects. Cbl62 (talk) 00:42, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * My reason for reverting the redirects is: I disagree with mass redirecting articles on National Football League players, which is perfectly fine according to WP:REDIRECT and so they need to be discussed, whether its at AFD or somewhere else. I'm nearly certain that if I tried, I could write a decent article on just about all of them. And about you're point on "Sportbasic" (which is illogical IMO: if the article doesn't look great, why should that determine if the subject is notable?), do you know how many articles we'd be getting rid of if we redirected every single football stub? It would be literally tens of thousands. Rather than just get rid of articles like that, why not attempt to actually improve the encyclopedia by expanding them? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:06, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You have not given any policy-based reasons. The sub-stubs clearly violate SPORTBASIC, and your assertion that SPORTBASIC is "illogical" is not a basis for the reverts. If you don't like SPORTBASIC, start an RfC to change it, but until then it is in full force and effect. If the redirects are of bios that can be improved, the redirects can and should be reversed, but only if and when someone cares to take the time to expand with the needed SIGCOV (if such SIGCOV even exists). I again ask you to reconsider -- redirects are a far better course of action than an AfD. Cbl62 (talk) 01:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Earl Ettenhaus
This is another one-game 1920s NFL player. I've tried various searches and can't find anything -- which is surprising since the Rochester papers is part of Newspapers.com. Let me know if you are able to find anything. Cbl62 (talk) 22:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Frank Seeds
Is this another mis-named article? His name was "Guy Twing Seeds", sometimes known as "Slippery Seeds". See here. Another PFR error? Should it be moved? Cbl62 (talk) 23:28, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree it should be moved, but I'm not sure if I should move it to "Twing Seeds" or "Slippery Seeds," both of which he appears to have been called by. What do you think? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:32, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The SIGCOV that I've found seems to call him "Twing". I think that's best. Agree? Cbl62 (talk) 00:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Buck Saunders
Your edits suggest Saunders competed in 1912 for both the Cal football and rugby teams. In fact, there was only a rugby football team. Cal didn't field a gridiron football team from 1906–1914. See here (which is why we have no articles on Cal football teams during this time period). Can you please fix the inaccuracy? Cbl62 (talk) 21:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
