Speedy deletion nomination of Luke Giverin


A tag has been placed on Luke Giverin, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, you can place a request here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kyle Brownhill


The article Kyle Brownhill has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Inclusion criteria
For any subject to have an article on Wikipedia, it must meet certain inclusion criteria. In Wikispeak this is called notability. For footballers, there are two guidelines governing notability. The general notability guideline which covers all subject, and says that any subject having received significant coverage in reliable sources is notable. For sport related subjects, routine sports journalism (match reports and previews, squad lists, player profiles, transfer announcements etc.) do not count as significant coverage. The other, WP:NFOOTBALL, is specific to football and says that any footballer who has played for his country's senior national team or in one of the fully professional leagues listed here is notable. Neither of these criteria apply to the two articles you have created. Please do not remove the deletion tags currently in place on these articles. As the creator of the article, you are not permitted to remove the speedy deletion tag from Luke Giverin. You may voice your objections on the talk page (I see you have already done so), and the evaluating administrator will take your comments into consideration. The tag on Kyle Brownhill links to a discussion (see Articles for deletion/Kyle Brownhill). This discussion will take place whether the tag is there or not. You may voice your objections on the discussion page.

Please do not take my request to have them deleted personally. It is no way related to your writing, and is only due to the subjects themselves. Many users, myself included, wind up having there first few articles deleted. I hope this clears some things up. If you have any questions feel free to post them to my talk page. Cheers.
