Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Dayle Southwell. 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, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 16:38, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not all of the sources are press releases, there are reliable sources from both his club and country. The press releases were announcements of his involvement in the national team. Doesn't fail GNG as he has represented his country. Doesn't fail BIO as there is at least one reliable source. TGB13 (talk) 16:44, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I can provide further sources such as the England Sevens squad page: http://www.englandrugby.com/england/england-sevens/squads/ and the tournament's website where it mentions each of his appearances http://www.rugbyeurope.eu/search/node/olowofela If they help to provide further support for the retention of the article?

Thank you for your participation in the RfC
Thanks for participating in the RfC. I'm also relatively new to serious editing on Wikipedia, and one of the hardest things I've had to learn is to disengage with particularly difficult editors. There's a point at which it becomes obvious that the other editor is not approaching the conversation in a collaborative spirit (usually around the point they start commenting on you personally), and that's the point at which engaging with these editors takes up an excessive amount of time, effort and mental energy while almost guaranteeing nothing fruitful will come of it. That's usually the point at which it's best to disengage and seek dispute resolution when necessary (such as what I've done with the request for comment). All the best, Cjhard (talk) 22:24, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Even the most 'experienced' editors can be quite volatile, and I've received support from others when disputing an edit, which has helped greatly. I'm therefore always happy to contribute to any RFC that I understand enough. TGB13 (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi TGB, my understanding is that "league appearances only" is a football thing and that for rugby its any and all official first team appearances. That's what I've always done, I never understood why football chose to be league games only but barely edit any football pages so never really cared much.
 * @Skeene88 Ah okay, I didn't know, I just assumed Wikipedia had some consensus. I prefer the rugby way though, thank you for informing me! TGB13 (talk) 19:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
