Proposed deletion of Tomás Waters


The article Tomás Waters has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * "The subject of this article does not seem to meet the general notability guidelines or the guidelines for notability for athletes."

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

If there are sources about this athlete, it would be great to include those in the article to help establish notability and help readers find out more. thanks! ErikHaugen (talk) 16:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry it seems like we're piling on here - but it really is important to have sources in all articles so that information can be verified and readers know where to find more information. This is especially important for living people. ErikHaugen (talk) 18:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Advice and Warning
As the reviewing administrator for these deletions, I need to offer you some advice. We are very glad to have articles about athletes from all countries in all sports,  but  they MUST have references. If the players  have appeared in games on the highest level national league---which is the basic requirement for them to have articles in Wikipedia-- there should always be references in the relevant national newspapers usually easily findable in Google News and Google News Archive. There should also  be a discussion or at least a listing of them in the web site for their team, and a listing in the general web sites for the sport. These references need to be added, and they need to be added ''at the very beginning. ''

Sometimes I have been able to check   articles like these  before deletion and add at least one necessary reference, but I cannot promise always to have the time to do so--and this is not one of the subjects in which I have the most personal interest. It is not my responsibility to do this, nor the responsibility of anyone here but yourself. If you can write the article in the first place, you surely  have the references in front of you when you are doing so, in order to get the names right and add the key statistics. That's when to do it! It is unfair to expect others to work at filling in what you can do so easily. I expect that you will start doing this, otherwise you will probably find that you are wasting your efforts, because the articles will get deleted. If you want the currently nominated articles m kept, work on  them yourself.  DGG ( talk ) 04:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
