The article Sid Masters 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sid Masters


A tag has been placed on Sid Masters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. The-Pope (talk) 11:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Notability of footballers
Hi there, Footyisawesome and welcome. As you can see from my nomination above, it is unlikely that Sid Masters is notable enough at the moment to have an article. Generally for footy players, we go by the sports notability criteria, which states that players must play for a fully professional side. For current day Australian footballers, that normally means playing in the AFL. For SANFL or WAFL players, only those who win major awards may qualify too, but definitely not guys who've only played a couple of games. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 11:40, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
