Notability for rugby players/coaches
Hi Yet another Rugby fan, for your query about notability for rugby biographies, you can always use the general notability guideline – see WP:GNG. If you can gather some sources (3+ independent reliable sources providing significant coverage) then the subject is presumed notable and an article can be created. One other thing I might suggest before focusing on creating new articles is to consider contributing some more improvements to existing articles where you have some interest. An edit count more than 100 on the English Wikipedia (and probably similar for Русский wiki) should be enough to gain 'autoconfirmed' status to permit your own creation of articles – see WP:AUTOCONFIRM which is useful. Good luck. -- Ham105 (talk) 14:05, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
