Wow. Your work on Draft:1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery Eleven football team is really great, and I'd be happy to assist in having it moved to main space. The biggest problem I see with it (as with your recent filling out the NC State season articles) is the use of bare urls. See WP:BAREURLS for an explanation as to why this is problematic. Could you go back and fill in fuller citations on the 1895 Light Artillery article? Cbl62 ( talk) 17:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Murphanian777, thanks for creating all those early NC State (North Carolina A&M) season article. I've made a bunch of edits to them to clean up the formatting. If you plan to create more articles like these, which would be great, please take at look some of the changes I've made to ones you've already initiated. I'd be happy to discussion any of the points of style there. Cbl62 also had some feedback for you about citations in his edit summaries at 1916 North Carolina A&M Aggies football team. Keep up the good work. Jweiss11 ( talk) 19:30, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts in creating articles on historic college football teams. However, 1893 De La Salle Institute football team raised an eyebrow. According to its Wikipedia article, De La Salle Institute is a high school.

Hey Murph -- I have one more stylistic request that will save time down the road. Wikipedia's stylistic approach is to use only initial caps for newspaper headlines, even when the newspaper itself uses all caps. Accordingly, the title line describing a newspaper source should read "Knox, 68; Chicago Dentals, 5" rather than "KNOX, 68; CHICAGO DENTALS, 5". Thanks and keep up the good work.

A tag has been placed on Category:1911 in sports in New York requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi - Thanks for adding the college and university sports teams articles. Going forward, could you make sure to use Dartmouth College rather than Dartmouth University?

Hi Murphanian777! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Murphanian, interesting and valuable work, as always, on the club football organizations in New York in the 1880s.
I do have a concern with treating 1886 Unions of Columbia football team the same way as the official varsity teams. These were not official Columbia teams (I'll defer to your obviously more in-depth research on this topic, but do we even know for certain that all members of the Unions club were Columbia students? Sometimes clubs associated with colleges also include alumni). I also think this sets a bad precedent that would result even more confusion if applied to club, freshman and jayvee sports at every college up to the present day.
The foregoing is offered in a spirit of amity and collaboration. Your thoughts? ``` t b w i l l i e ` $1.25 ` 18:26, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
@Toll Booth Willie, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm afraid that I will be indisposed for most of the day, so I will not be able to address your suggestions immediately, but I do agree on most of your points. Firstly, I will fix the infobox for any pages I do create involving the Unions club team, it was more related to lazy editing than anything. Secondly, I agree with you on your stance on gray linked years. The precedent that I worked off of were season articles like the 1943 Alabama Informals football team, which did not include a Varsity football team, but discussed why the Varsity team was absent (World War II), and detailed the schedule and season of an unsanctioned team that used the facilities. I will admit though, I thought that this direction was flawed, specifically for the reason that it appears from the navbox that Alabama hosted a Varsity team in 1943, when in fact it is quite a stretch to call the informals an Alabama football team at all. The solution will indeed be for me to create a subsection under Culture & Lore, possibly a single article that details each season of the Unions and can better explain their history and importance in the AFU in as concise a manner as possible. As you've said, I have done considerable research on the Unions of Columbia, and can say with some certainty that they only existed in 1885, 1886, and part of the 1887 season. It appears that the team was disbanded to focus on intramural football teams composed of the Juniors and Freshmen, as opposed to a single club team. Because of this I am not sure if multiple articles are even necessary.
As always, I appreciate any helpful insight and direction, and thank you again for bringing this to light. Murphanian777 ( talk) 19:31, 14 August 2020 (UTC)Murphanian777
Hi Murphanian - I've noticed that you've devoted a good deal of time and effort creating season articles on early club teams. This is an area that has been neglected, and season articles on notable teams like the Crescent Athletic Club, Orange Athletic Club, Duquesne Country and Athletic Club, Chicago Athletic Association, and Homestead Library & Athletic Club are terrific. These teams are an important interim step in the sport's evolution from a purely college endeavor to a formal undertaking by alumni of prominent colleges and then to the inclusion of paid players and eventually to the development of the modern professional game.
That said, I suggest proceeding with caution in rolling out season articles on lesser clubs which may or may not satisfy notability requirements. Under WP:GNG, there needs to be significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources in order to support each article. Where such coverage cannot be found, then the articles are vulnerable to being deleted at AfD. Examples of recent creations where notability appears uncertain (at least based on the current sourcing) include: 1914 Wabash Athletic Association football team, 1895 Entre Nous Athletic Association football team, 1895 Syracuse Athletic Association football team, 1895 Elmira Athletic Club football team, and 1895 New Jersey Athletic Club football team.

Hi, Murphanian777,
Could you please add some parent categories to this category so that it is integrated into Wikipedia's category structure and not isolated? I'm not sure what St. Viator is but other similar football organizations would probably be appropriate. Liz Read! Talk! 22:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:1911 in sports in New York requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
In this case, we should use Category:1911 in sports in New York (state) or Category:1911 in sports in New York City instead. Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 04:05, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi - Thanks for adding the college and university sports teams articles. Going forward, could you make sure to use Dartmouth College rather than Dartmouth University? If you follow the university link, you will see it only existed for a couple years in the early 19th century. The Ivy League school is Dartmouth College. Best wishes, -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 13:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
I've already finished the seasons I needed to create for Dartmouth, but thanks for the tip. Murphanian777 ( talk) 18:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Murphanian

Hi Murphanian777! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Murphanian, interesting and valuable work, as always, on the club football organizations in New York in the 1880s.
I do have a concern with treating 1886 Unions of Columbia football team the same way as the official varsity teams. These were not official Columbia teams (I'll defer to your obviously more in-depth research on this topic, but do we even know for certain that all members of the Unions club were Columbia students? Sometimes clubs associated with colleges also include alumni). I also think this sets a bad precedent that would result even more confusion if applied to club, freshman and jayvee sports at every college up to the present day.
The foregoing is offered in a spirit of amity and collaboration. Your thoughts? ``` t b w i l l i e ` $1.25 ` 18:26, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
@Toll Booth Willie, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm afraid that I will be indisposed for most of the day, so I will not be able to address your suggestions immediately, but I do agree on most of your points. Firstly, I will fix the infobox for any pages I do create involving the Unions club team, it was more related to lazy editing than anything. Secondly, I agree with you on your stance on gray linked years. The precedent that I worked off of were season articles like the 1943 Alabama Informals football team, which did not include a Varsity football team, but discussed why the Varsity team was absent (World War II), and detailed the schedule and season of an unsanctioned team that used the facilities. I will admit though, I thought that this direction was flawed, specifically for the reason that it appears from the navbox that Alabama hosted a Varsity team in 1943, when in fact it is quite a stretch to call the informals an Alabama football team at all. The solution will indeed be for me to create a subsection under Culture & Lore, possibly a single article that details each season of the Unions and can better explain their history and importance in the AFU in as concise a manner as possible. As you've said, I have done considerable research on the Unions of Columbia, and can say with some certainty that they only existed in 1885, 1886, and part of the 1887 season. It appears that the team was disbanded to focus on intramural football teams composed of the Juniors and Freshmen, as opposed to a single club team. Because of this I am not sure if multiple articles are even necessary.
As always, I appreciate any helpful insight and direction, and thank you again for bringing this to light. Murphanian777 ( talk) 19:31, 14 August 2020 (UTC)Murphanian777
Hi Murphanian - I've noticed that you've devoted a good deal of time and effort creating season articles on early club teams. This is an area that has been neglected, and season articles on notable teams like the Crescent Athletic Club, Orange Athletic Club, Duquesne Country and Athletic Club, Chicago Athletic Association, and Homestead Library & Athletic Club are terrific. These teams are an important interim step in the sport's evolution from a purely college endeavor to a formal undertaking by alumni of prominent colleges and then to the inclusion of paid players and eventually to the development of the modern professional game.
That said, I suggest proceeding with caution in rolling out season articles on lesser clubs which may or may not satisfy notability requirements. Under WP:GNG, there needs to be significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources in order to support each article. Where such coverage cannot be found, then the articles are vulnerable to being deleted at AfD. Examples of recent creations where notability appears uncertain (at least based on the current sourcing) include: 1914 Wabash Athletic Association football team, 1895 Entre Nous Athletic Association football team, 1895 Syracuse Athletic Association football team, 1895 Elmira Athletic Club football team, and 1895 New Jersey Athletic Club football team.
