Amy Knights

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of meeting WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG; I did a WP:BEFORE search but found nothing more than a name check. According to Ozfootball, she had a very short career. No coverage in ProQuest at all. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:44, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Sure you did a WP:BEFORE search, but it will anyway be hard to find information about a player with the popular name Amy and the common surname Knight. Too bad you don't use all your free research time to improve existing articles instead of opening endless AFDs. --SuperJew (talk) 19:15, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * To limit the results to this Amy Knights, I searched her name in connection with clubs that she has played for. In this case, it looks like she only played for Perth so my search was in connection with Perth. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:36, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * So you're limiting to the information you already know from the article. How does one expand the information in the article if one is limiting themselves to what is already there? --SuperJew (talk) 14:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ozfootball, World Football and Sport.de all only show the 5 substitute appearances at Perth so, if she did play anywhere else, it isn't likely to be at a high level, certainly not as high as the W-League anyway. On the balance of probabilities, it seems very unlikely that she is notable. If the article is deleted, it can always be restored should sufficient evidence of notability ever arise.

 * Delete nothing even close to enough sourcing to justify passing of GNG. It is time to start ridding Wikipedia of these micro-stubs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Why? What harm is there with the micro-stubs. Of course I would prefer to have them expanded as much as possible, but how is having no information more helpful than having a few lines and basic details? --SuperJew (talk) 14:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * What harm is there? lots. They make it that much harder to identify hoaxes and are a key reason why we have had hoax articles exist for over a decade to begin with. They inherently violate the principles of verrifiability which is a key guideline for Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * So long as the article (however short it is) is referenced by verifiable reliable sources then it is verifiable and doesn't affect how hard it is to find hoaxes or not. --SuperJew (talk) 18:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , you really need to read WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:IMPATIENT. The fact an article is a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. Deus et lex (talk) 10:06, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, over an over again these stub articles are not references to reliable sources at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 20:02, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
