Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Fredrik Samdal Solberg. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Speaking of Markeng and references, do you have a source that confirms that he moved permanently to KBK ? Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, just him personally. Maybe not good enough? :) --- Løken (talk) 16:28, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's no big deal really. My main concern is that the article about Markeng fails WP:GNG, and if no newspapers starts to write about him, his article should be deleted. I thought a newspaper-report with his transfer to KBK would help in that respect, but I haven't found anything about him. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:57, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I have closed your DRV request as "allow recreation", and therefore removed the protection on the page. It should now be possible to post an article there. Any new article should include the factors which make the person notable (In this case WP:ATHLETE is applicable), and since the article would be a biography of a living person it is essential that all content be reliably sourced.

List of FIFA World Cup winners
Sorry, but I reverted your edit. I've been working on the article for a few days, and the entire point was to restructure those tables. See a thread I started at WT:FOOTY (1 June 2018), where another user said the article needed "serious cleanup". The nationality columns are pretty redundant − of course all players are from the nation indicated. And the dates of birth, what's the point of them? Articles shouldn't turn into indiscriminate collections of data, you know.

I borrowed and slightly modified the design of the French version, and made use of bold and italic styles to convey yet more information relevant to the topic. The pattern " " makes the table compact and yet comprehensive. The full names are already there in the next table, which focuses on the individual players' records. And even if the former should stick to the pattern " " too for the sake of displaying the full names, the other info is still unnecessary, with the possible exception of the playing positions. --Theurgist (talk) 02:45, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree and agree. I agree that the nationality columns is not that useful, but the date of birth is useful to see how old they are. I can adjust the template to view how old they were at the start of the tournament, but it is not "an indiscriminate collection of information". The full names, the position and the number is also useful in a article called List of FIFA World Cup winners. A good change is to change the nationally-colum to a column with the clubs they were representing. OK? I also think that section called "By year" in the current version is really untidy. For expample you must look hard to understand what the players in bold means (and is that more interesting than how old they are?). And just so you know: I also used a lot of time on this article back in 2015 when I created it. --- Løken (talk) 11:27, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * A footnote explains what is indicated with the bold and italic styles. That legend could be stated above the table if it's not clear enough this way. And about how "interesting" that information is, I'd say that it's one thing to be on the pitch when your team clinches the title (and those who take part in the final are usually the ones who have contributed the most to the team's successful route thereto), and quite another thing to sit on the bench for 7 matches or so without ever playing a single minute.
 * With what you're proposing, the article would basically look like those in Category:FIFA World Cup squads. But if the "By player" table would also be included, the article would become unbearably long and tedious, so compactness of the design is a good thing to seek.
 * What do you think of the "By player" and "By coach" tables?
 * Also compare different variants of my original design: with or without full names, ages, positions, and boldings/italicizations. --Theurgist (talk) 17:36, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

2019 Trampoline World Championships moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2019 Trampoline World Championships, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Note that, currently, it is WP:TOOSOON for this article to exist in mainspace. DannyS712 (talk) 01:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello. Whats the problem? Is it the medalist section? If so, we can remove it until we know the full calendar. The other text in the article is sourced by the inline-reference. --- Løken (talk) 12:47, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The other text in the article, in its entirety, is "The 2019 Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships will be held in Tokyo, Japan from November 28 to December 1, 2019." There is simply not enough to established notability (although it will likely be notable by the time it occurs) for this event, which will take place almost a year from now. Please see WP:CRYSTAL - #2 for the full policy explanation, or ping me if you have more questions. --DannyS712 (talk) 20:34, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * fix ping --DannyS712 (talk) 20:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It says first: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." The 2019 Tampoline World Championships is "almost certain to take place" and is a notable subject (see Template:Gymnastics World Championships for links to previous championships). I don't see a violation on #2 on WP:Crystal either, since this is 1) going to take place, 2) is not a "guess" and 3) is the next championship to take place. The dates are given by FIG in a press release, and the dates is also repeated in the offical website for the championships. I rather have a deletion discussion on this subject than this draft (sorry, have no experience with drafts). Can you fix this? I think this is a "keep". Best regards --- Løken (talk) 21:00, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * that's number 1. 2 says that "Individual items from a predetermined list or a systematic pattern of names, pre-assigned to future events or discoveries, are not suitable article topics, if only generic information is known about the item." currently, only "generic" information (the location and time) is known. As far as I can tell, there is no independent coverage that this is notable currently. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:40, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, but I don't think that this subject is a "Individual item from a predetermined list or a systematic pattern of names". This is the next championship in a notable sport. It have started its preperation, and two webistes confirm the dates and place? And without being accused of WP:OTHER, where is the line? We have a lot of future sports event, all from next months Asian Football Championships, to 2020 Summer Olympics, 2021 Mediterranean Games and the Super Bowl LVII in 2023. And when do you think we can publish this subject? 9 months prior? 4 months? 1 week? The day before? I'm asking because of curiosity. --- Løken (talk) 21:49, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi. Can you guide me about the differences in this article and the rest of the articles in Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships, i.e. 2018 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships? --- Løken (talk) 10:40, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There have been changes to WP:NSPORT as a result of a recent RFC. Extracts and listings from databases are no longer WP:SIGCOV.
 * Proposal 5 suggested implementing a requirement that all sports biographies and sports season/team articles must, from inception, include at least one example of significant coverage from a reliable, independent source. Mere database entries would be insufficient for creation of a new biography article. There was consensus for this proposal.
 * WP:GNG and one reliable source are needful. All simple or mere "participation" pages only effective for participation in Olympic events or similar. You can read about the recent changes to NSPORT here. Whiteguru (talk) 21:25, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I am still not fully familiar with GNG at what makes an article SIGCOV. But one of the source is from InsideTheGames, who is a reliable and independent source. I also added another news article. Enough? --- Løken (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Championships event articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose ... You have the sources, you have the references. Write a paragraph about the event at the top of the page. This will satisfy the prose requirement for this and similar pages. Whiteguru (talk) 21:41, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Biathlon Junior World Championships 2022. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read!
