Overtraining of AFL athletes

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

Appears to be someone's personal essay that is based entirely on WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. There are some sources that discuss the concept of overtraining in general, and some sources that discuss various aspects and issues of the AFL, but these are being combined to create a specific topic and arguments that are not described in any one source. For example, there are several sources that discuss mental health issues that some AFL players have suffered from, but none of those sources actually discuss this in relation to "overtraining" nor do they support the conclusions/assertations made in the "psychological symptoms" section, which appears to be entirely based on WP:OR. The same is pretty much the case for the whole article, making this a pretty clear case of WP:SYNTH at work. Rorshacma (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete This is an essay, not suited for the mainspace. Oaktree b (talk) 21:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Draftify This was one of a handful of essays in this incongruent style which appeared around the same time on Australian Football League topics by various different editors with no other contribution history (compare ACL injuries in the Australian Football League and Mental health in the Australian Football League) – I always suspected they were the result of a school project. While agreeing with Oaktree and Rorshacma that the article in its current form is wholly unsuited for the mainspace, I'd draftify rather than delete because there's definitely enough out there on the topic to satisfy WP:V and WP:N.

 * To clarify, my input is 'soft draftify'. I'd be equally happy with the delete outcome. Aspirex (talk) 23:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Draftify – Per @Aspirex. Needs improvements to be in the main space. Svartner (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with the nomination that this a pile of WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. Given the article has been around since 2015 I don't think that Draftify it the correct option, if it was a relatively new article it may be but that isn't the case. This needs WP:TNT.
