User talk:Thomcbh

Welcome
G'day and welcome to Wikipedia, I see that you've created a couple of articles on some of the new Melbourne players. Can you please try to ensure that you add at least one reliable source to verify their notability - and if possible, wait until they make their AFL debut. The problem we have is that there is a guideline, WP:ATHLETE, that states that athletes aren't notable unless they have played at a professional level. Obviously, neither of these guys have played AFL yet. I have sucessfully claimed in past deletion attempts that the general notability guideline outranks the WP:ATHLETE guideline. This means that you need to find at least one independant (ie not from the club or AFL website), reliable (so not from Bigfooty or your local or school paper), non-trival coverage (ie not just a listing that he played in a match, or was drafted, but something in a bit more detail) of each and every player. I see that Max Gawn has one good reference - you really need to find one for Fitzpatrick or else others may try to delete the article. BTW, James Strauss (Australian rules footballer) and Jordie McKenzie have both made their debut, but don't have pages, so they might be good pages to do next.

If you have any questions or queries, then don't hesitate to reply here or on my talk page. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 12:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jack Fitzpatrick


The article Jack Fitzpatrick has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Nice work
If you had left it as just the club website profile some may have challenged it as not being an independent reference, but the one from The Age is perfect. Just have a look at how I reformated them to hide the raw URL - just looks better. Hope you enjoyed the win tonight too! Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 15:54, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
