Cameron Windust

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Neither of the two references demonstrate significant coverage per WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Would have passed WP:NFOOTBALL prior to 2022 but that and WP:FPL are no longer relevant so articles must contain significant coverage. Best sources found in WP:BEFORE were The Inner Sanctum, I'm not sure if this is WP:RS or not and he is only mentioned twice in passing, Football NSW, which mentions him in passing as a goalscorer, and The Football Sack, which mentions him once, saying that he made his debut. None of the above sources contain any detailed coverage of Windust. An Australian search only yielded the usual database sites which are not acceptable for SPORTBASIC. Perhaps draft space can be considered if there is a super high chance of future notability? I would have moved this over myself but the article is over a year old so cannot be moved over except as a result of an AfD. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:02, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Do not delete this. This spiderone bloke is an absolute twat who for whatever reason has something against the A-League or the Central Coast Mariners.

The Central Coast Mariners compete in a professional football league, the top tier in Australia. They are notable. Anyone who plays for them are notable.

He made some reference to moving it to draft space depending on the “likelihood” of him becoming “notable” in the future. I’d say he’s notable now since he’s a regular player in the top tier of Australian football, but even if that isn’t “notable” enough, he’s an academy graduate from the Mariners who is continuing to build his professional career, so I’d say that’s pretty likely.

But in general, this is a joke and spiderone’s targeting of A-League players is a joke and completely against what Wikipedia is supposed to be, an encyclopaedia of knowledge on everything, including football.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt jobe watson (talk • contribs) 11:55, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * It's not a joke. We're questioning the notability of the article. Please sign your comments. Oaktree b (talk) 15:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Being an academy graduate and playing in the A-League has no relevance whatsoever for GNG or SPORTBASIC. Also, contrary to your comment, Wikipedia does not exist to have an article on absolutely everything. See WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:50, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Notability for inclusion of athletes articles on Wikipedia is coverage based, not participation based, so there is no inherit notability from playing in the A-League, or any other league for that matter.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me - surprised there's nothing out there given he has multiple apps in Australia's top league. GiantSnowman 21:52, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Can I at least have the formatting for this page for when he inevitably pops up in some news article somewhere, or did you just go ahead and delete my work on him without saving that so I have to do it all over again? Cheers...
 * At the very least should've moved it to draftspace given it's ineligible he will be "notable" in time. Matt jobe watson (talk) 13:15, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
