This article appears to meet all the requirements of GA status. Nice work. Da54 23:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. There are a few relatively problems with this article and if the editors require I can provide some pointers to help, drop a line on my talk page.

Although I only passed this article at GAR recently, I'm afraid that I made an error and the article should have been placed on hold. The problem is that this article does not have any information on its subject's life outside their sporting career. After a discussion (linked below) on this issue, it was agreed that such information is mandatory for a GA and therefore it will have to be incorporated into the article. I have provided a guide to assist in the development of this information within the article and will wait seven days. If no action has been taken at the end of that period, then I will begin another formal Good Article Reassessment based around this issue (although any new problems or old ones missed during the original review may be raised as well at that time). The relevant wikiproject will be notified and the article will have another seven days in which work on this problem must have begun or it will face delisting. Anyone genuinely trying to solve the problem will be granted as much time as needed, and anyone who disputes the process or outcome of the review is welcome to take it to WP:GAR for wider community comment.

In order for an article on a sports person to qualify for GA, it must contain information on their life outside sports (per this discussion). This can be incorporated into the article in a number of ways, of which the most common (but by no means the only) is to provide two sections. One immediately under the introduction that describes the person's early life prior to their sporting career, and a second after their career to date is described, that covers non-sporting information during their career (and possibly afterwards). These sections should be formed of at least one (and preferably more) complete paragraphs of several sentences, written in readable prose and properly referenced to reliable sources. A good example of this can be seen at Brian Urlacher.
For some sports people (e.g. David Beckham), their life outside of their sporting career is a significant part of their notability: these are special cases which have to be dealt with individually. However, the non-sporting life of all sports persons, alive or dead, is relevant and important to their article - these are biographies, not descriptions solely of their sporting achievements.
Examples of what to include (this list is by no means exhaustive, neither is it a checklist. Not all of this information has to be included, just anything that applies to the person in question):
As mentioned, this list is far from exhaustive and neither is everything on it essential: its more a guide providing ideas for research into the person's life outside sports. For any contemporary or recent sports person, google should provide enough to develop a basic section and for older ones, news articles and books can give plenty of information about their personal lives.
Some sports people are known for a determination to keep their private life private and it may be that very little information can be found about them. In such cases, there will be sources discussing their reluctance to release details about their private life and these can be used as sources in a paragraph talking about their efforts to avoid publicity.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 23:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
