Proposed deletion of Sam Briggs (CrossFit)


The article Sam Briggs (CrossFit) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. - Sonicwave ( talk &#124; c )  18:22, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

CrossFit athletes
Hello and welcome. I have noticed that you have been creating and contributing on several articles related to CrossFit athletes. Please make sure your citations are complete as I have found several errors. Also look into consolidating repeating citations (i.e. the CF Leaderboard is all the same link, therefore the {{Cite web... can just be replaced with the ) and this will make the reference list much cleaner. You do need to find multiple verifiable sources for each athlete added as well (CrossFit Games.com is not one, that is a first party article and you need third party articles to prove notability, such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN or some other notable sports news source). A good example of the bare minimum of notability can be found by the articles added to Katrin Davidsdottir (after your initial rejected submission) and Ben Smith (CrossFit).

Also since this is a neutral point of view encyclopedia, keep CrossFit terminology to a bare minimum and write the articles as if the reader has never seen or participated in CF. Terms like AMRAP, Chipper, and metcon are not widely known outside of the community. Even the names of Olympic lifts should be properly linked since a good chunk of the population does not know what a Snatch or a Clean and jerk implies. Thank you and I hope you continue to add and improve on articles. Yosemiter (talk) 15:42, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Advice on sourcing information in CrossFit articles
Hello. Thanks for writing articles about CrossFit competitors. I have a small piece of advice: in order to decrease the likelihood that the articles you create get deleted, try to use independent sources. Sometimes the only source for a piece of information is the crossfit games website, but often, the information is also available in other places such as news sites that are not affiliated with crossfit. If you include at least a couple independent, reliable sources, it goes a long way toward establishing the notability of the subject. Rracecarr (talk) 21:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
