Proposed deletion of Peter Makowski


The article Peter Makowski has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

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.

Defaultsort property at biography pages
Hello there. Thanks for your contributions. When setting the "defaultsort" property, please use the name without diacritical marks, e.g. Petrovic, Zeljko and not Željko Petrović. See also WP:SUR. Thanks, C679 18:27, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Claudia Chmielowska, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:51, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, Thank you for your message. I do know how to create the talk pages. However, in my limited time at WP I have to choose what to do. Still I created last month over 2000 articles. However, creating the talk page will take for me the same time as creating the talk page. After a while the talk page will be made automatically with a boy. So that is the reason that I prefer creating a new page instead of the talk page. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 06:41, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear Sandra. There is, sadly, no bot to automatically tag talk pages. It is done by people like me, and it cuts into our time to create articles. Creating a talk page will not take you more then 5 seconds, given that all you need it is to copypaste a template, which you can keep handy on a userpage like I do at User:Piotrus/Templates, for example. Would that tip help? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yes I do understand. But creating a page for me is also only copy and pasting and takes me 5 seconds. It takes me more time to create the redirects and link it to foreign pages. And all the things that could be done with the article (like tagging the talk page) would cost just a few more seconds per page, like adding the place of birth from Wikidata. But I can't do everything. Because I think I create the pages faster than anybody else does (over 2000 pages in January), it's more efficient that I create pages, and that other experts do other things. I think the simple things like tagging a talk page should be done by a bot. As is already done for WikiProject Biography. I made a request at Bot requests to do that. 17:26, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I made a list of all volleyball categories, and made a bot request to Tagg them all for WP Volleyball. So all pages will be tagged with WP Biography and WP Volleyball. See User talk:Yobot. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 16:59, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Canadian volleyball articles
Your one and only link in Jessica Niles is to a generic page for the volleyball team. May I suggest you link to the page for the individual players you are creating? I'm assuming you're using the same generic link in all the Canadian articles because the one other I checked is the same link as for Niles....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Ways to improve Cindy Ramírez
Hi, I'm Rasimmons. Sander.v.Ginkel, thanks for creating Cindy Ramírez!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. As a BLP article, I believe that it could use a few more sources, just for verification.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. R. A. S immons Talk 15:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, done :) Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 15:29, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks so much! Keep it up! R. A. S immons Talk 15:33, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Na Hyun-jung
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Na Hyun-jung, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Na Hyun-Jung. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:09, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, first thanks for your job in creating articles about athletes from different sports, I contact you because of creating this article Volleyball at the 2010 Asian Games – Women's team rosters, may I ask you to NOT create articles for Asian Games rosters ? Asian Games is not a top tier competition and I think just having a list of participants is enough for this. btw per wikipedia rules (can't find the link for that) just participating at the Asian Games won't make the athlete notable enough to have an article here. beside that we lack info about the Asian Games and except for few recent editions you can't create such pages for other events. of course this is just a request per my own view and you can reject it and that won't be a problem, thanks in advance. Mohsen1248 (talk) 18:08, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the message. I think the Asian games have the same status as the Pan American Games and European Games. Even smaller Games have these pages (Mediterranean Games, Pan Arab Games, Bolovarian Games, etc.). See category:volleyball squads. I created it because also the Italian Wiki has this page. To make it complete; I almost finished the 2010 Men's page, so I will create that one. For the other years I will leave it this way.
 * There are (strangly) no notabiility guidelines for volleyball... At the WikiProject is written that all players of the national teams can be created. See WikiProject Volleyball. I also think some Asian Games competitors are borderline. However many of them competed at several Asian Games and/or competed also in beach volleyball international competitons. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 17:04, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for the answer, here you can see a proposal for notability of volleyball players in wikipedia but never mind, since some of these players are amateur, I think those articles will get deleted if someone nominates them for deletion (I won't do that myself) players from Mongolia, Tajikistan, Maldives and etc are not professional. I said that because there is no qualification tournament for the Asian Games and all Asian teams at any level can participate, therefore we have so many amateur players, but that's OK. I have another idea, what about merging men and women squad pages ? I did the same for football articles and I think that's a better idea to keep the whole thing shorter. hope you agree with this one. btw I already created roster articles for men's for 2002 to 2010 later redirected the article to the main page. Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. I didn't know all teams can participate at the Asian Games, with many amateur players. In this case I will stop crating Adian Games biographies for those countries. I'll create the medalists and the player of the notable volleyball countries. I don't mind if you nominate them for deletion. We'll see what happens :). I didn't know you created also the 2006 and 2002 squads page! Why did you redirect them? They are really valuable. You can see the ages of the players and the club level they are competing in etc. Also these articles are great for expanding the volleyball biographies and also for the national volleyball team pages! It's really hard to find this information otherwise... I actually prefer to have the men's and women's separated. Than they fall in the same structure of all the other games and also the same structure of the foreign wiki's. The competition also have separate men and women pages. With an electronical encyclopedia this is also not a problem. But of course if you want to have it in another way, we can do it. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 11:32, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Improper article copying/moving
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Thatsani Wichana a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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, 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. Dl2000 (talk) 00:17, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Thatsani Wichana, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 00:17, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , I didn't move the page by copy-paste. I merged the two articles with almost the same content. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 07:14, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Aleh Achrem


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Aleh Achrem. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Olieg Achrem. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Olieg Achrem – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Danrok (talk) 16:50, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Volleyball players articles
Hello. Why are you adding articles about so many volleyball players (mainly Polish players) and you add only one or two old informations?! You create articles and make it chaotic. Stop it or add a good, valuable article. Thanks for your attention, DariaPolonia (talk) 17:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yes I created loads of volleyball biographies. Of the >5000 articles over the last few months it's not mainly about Polish people. I created articles of all the missing notable volleyball players. I added more than only a few things, if known I added nationality, height, weight, national team, year national team, club team, year club team, position, notable tournament. I also import the articles to Wikidata. I also created about 5000 redirects to reduce the number of red links in volleyball articles. Most of the Wikipedia biographies started as a stub. Easily more information could be added, data from Wikidata could be imported, or things could be added from foreign wiki's. As I'm good with creating articles, I create them. Others are good with adding medal templates etc. So my opinion is, is that these stubs are really valuable for Wikipedia, and so is the opinion at the Wikiproject, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Volleyball in the discussion about it. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 16:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No, you don't. You added clubs, which was their clubs like 10 years ago and wrote 'retired or former' in articles of vollayball players, who are still play! It's a lot wrong informations in A LOT OF ARTICLES. I'm not able to edit everything and it's sad. You didn't check is it true about these person... shame. DariaPolonia (talk) 19:52, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, if I wrote former or retired, he or she is not playing anymore for the national team. But indeed he or she might still play on club level. I wrote he played for XXX club, and that is not wrong. You can see in the infobox in which year that was. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 18:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You wrote former or retired in profiles of young players, who are playing for example in youth national team, but when you write 'retired' it means what he don't play anywhere anymore... You write "he played for..." but why you can't add all clubs, not just ONE in which he/she played for example 5 years ago?! You didn't add ANY clubs, years to infobox. Look at wiki profiles which are completed and edit your previuos work just like them, not - one information, one club, and go to the next one. DariaPolonia (talk) 00:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , if you say that I didn't add ANY club and year in the infobox you only looked at a very small amount of the articles I created. I didn't add more yeas because I don't know where I can find the information for how long he/she played for the club teams. But when having the articles now, it can be added easily. The other thing, I only created articles of players who played for the national team at elite international competitions. So if I might have created articles of young people who played already for the national team. However I don't know which players you're talking about, so please say them and will look at them. And if they are not notable, they should be deleted. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 10:25, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * So if you have no idea where you should find informations about players so stop added more new and new articles and focus on what you just created. Search in Google, look at articles in other languages. If it's Polish - look at wiki's article in Polish - there is so many infomations, links, which you can look at and bring informations. It's not normal to build wiki article just on FIVB or CEV profile... I have knowledge about so many players you added and I just have headache because I can't edit everything. Stop it please. DariaPolonia (talk) 12:50, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Flags
Hello and thanks for your contributions, particularly for futsal players. Please note per WP:INFOBOXFLAG, national flags should not be placed inside the infobox. Also, the club number field is for precisely that, and not the national squad number. Thank you, C679 13:04, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, thank you for the message. Good that you told me, as I will later this year create more futsall players, and leave the flags and the national numbers :). Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 17:06, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Big thanks on six-day races
Hi Sander, thanks for the help and edits on the six-day race articles. When I wrote the Six Days of New York article I inadvertently stepped into a big cycling void on Wikipedia. Apparently, there were more than 100 six-day events, which is much more than I can chew. I tried to recruit people on the talk page, but anyway, any help is welcome.

New pages about archers
Doing new pages patrol these few days, I noticed that you have made many articles about archers. However, I doubt that these pages have inherent notability, because the archers have merely participated in an event and in nearly every one of the new articles there exists only one reference. How would you justify the notability per WP:ATH? The Average Wikipedian (talk) 14:31, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, untill this morning I created the pages about archers that won a medal at the highest international competitions and so meets notibalily. The articles that I'm creating at the moment are about the archers that competed at the 2013 World Archery Championships. Of all the Olympic sports I know the competitors at the World Championships meets Notability (sports). As archery is less popular than other sports the notability guideliness have never been made. Thanks , Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 14:39, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * And I forgot to add, it looks like on WP they only may have competed in one event, but that is also due to the bad coverage of archery. For instance, for the main European Championships (outdoor) there is only a page of 2014 (2014 European Archery Championships), and so is the case for the other main archery competitions. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 14:43, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Noted. Some of them don't appear as archers on Google though. Perhaps more coverage is needed? Anyway, I'll forget about this. The Average Wikipedian (talk) 15:08, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Bulgarian volleyball
Thank you so much for your contributions regarding Bulgarian volleyball players! Keep up the excellent work! Oleg Morgan (talk) 10:11, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks! I'll create later some more volleyball players, but not that many as I have created over the last months. However, I'll create other Bulgarian athletes, like gymnasts, cyclists and others :). Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 09:34, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping
On the Olympic cyclists. On an unrelated note, you may be interested in this AfD, and the ones directly below it too. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry a bit late, but I replied on the AfD's. Just another thing. You are always doing great work, both with adding content and involvement in many AfD's, merge proposals and other discussions. You have good reasonings and acts according to the WP rules. Have you ever thought about becoming an admin? Maybe you don't like to become one, but if you want to, I'm willing to nominate you at Requests for adminship. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 10:53, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * No problem - thanks for the replies. I'm flattered that you'd support an RfA for me, but the truth is, I'm not really interested in becoming one. It would take away some of the free time I already use to create articles on here. I don't really want to get involved with vandalism, edit wars, and the like, and to be honest, I doubt the nomination would even pass. I've already annoyed plenty of current admins, as they're less then useless!  So thanks, but no thanks.   Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 11:08, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
