Days of the year articles
Hi. I've noticed you have been adding players from the Cleveland Browns to days of the year pages. This worries me a bit. I'm not sure that everyone that is on the current roster is really notable on a WP:DOY page. I apologize I haven't looked back to see the link, but at least one person you have added has never actually played a professional football game in his career. With DOY pages my own guidelines (not official, just my gut feeling) include considering whether the inclusion of a specific person would imply a huge number of other people would also be just as notable. If every player on the Browns' current roster is notable for a DOY page, why not any athlete at all currently on a team, or even former athletes? I don't intend to revert your additions, but what do you think? Cheers. Winston365 (talk) 05:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Completely true! And I am actually planning on going through as many pro sports teams as I can, I just don't have a lot of free time, so it will most likely take a long time. I also did some work on the date pages with MLB players a few years back. I just started with the Browns because I tend to follow them. I'll get there! Thanks!

 * Thanks for the reply, but I think you may have misunderstood my point. My worry is that DOY pages will become far too long if every athlete is included regardless of his history. I don't think every NFL player is notable, and more importantly DOY pages should include people that will remain notable; athletes should have their notability well established on their article page before being included on a DOY page, as opposed to including them in case they ever become more notable than being on a particular team. I'd think adding an athlete to a DOY page should at least preclude a notable individual award, or some significant coverage from a secondary source. Winston365 (talk) 06:12, 21 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, there really should be a clear cut guideline for this sort of thing, but my feeling is that the majority of players are notable. There needs to be a criteria for all people to be run through to be placed on the date pages. Until that type of page is in place, I'll proceed. Well, my bed is calling. Good night to you.

 * I agree a clearer guideline is needed. WP:DOY is rather vague. My bed is calling me as well tho, and there is no rush at all about this. Good night. Winston365 (talk) 06:47, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
