Vigona
Hi there, Did you blank the Tony Vigona page yourself? Because articles listed for deletion at AFD should remain for 7 days, unless the original author blanks it. Do you know if he was a relative of Benny Vigona who played for South Fremantle in the 1980s? Regards, The-Pope (talk) 11:44, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi The-Pope, I authorized the deletion of the page as the original author. I am new to Wikipedia and still finding my way around (i.e. rules and regs). Benny and Tony are relatives, both having played for St Marys Football Club up in Darwin. They were incredible footballers!
 * Thanks, I remember watching Benny alongside Maurice, Stephen Michael, Basil Campbell etc down at Freo oval. the "rules" worldwide for athletes is "played in a fully professional league".  Obviously, given that footy's only been professional recently, it's difficult for older players. for convenience, that is considered to apply retrospectively for anyone who played in the AFL/VFL. The general notability guideline for any biography is "siginificant coverage in independent reliable sources".  So, for players who only played in the WAFL or SANFL or other lower leagues, we generally want them to have won a major medal, be in a hall of fame or similar.  If you found truly significant coverage, such as detailed biographies, not just brief mentions or match reports, then they would probably survive deletion.  Recently, we've been a bit more lenient for drafted players, but generally only whilst they are on the club lists, if they are delisted without making their AFL debut, they probably won't survive here either.  If you need any help, give me a message on my talk page (don't forget to sign by typing four ~s!) The-Pope (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
