The following WikiProject rugby union advice page is to help editors determine if a rugby union topic is notable enough to deserve its own article in Wikipedia. In general, a topic is presumed to be notable if it has been the subject of multiple published [1] non-trivial [2] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, [3] and independent of the subject. [4]
WikiProject Rugby union participants have adopted the following guidelines for notability of a rugby union person for an article in Wikipedia: A rugby union person is presumed notable if he or she has played for, coached or administered:
The above parameters apply to all rugby union persons regardless of professional or amateur status. A player who signs for a team in a fully professional rugby competition but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable. Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG. The failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion. In particular, players from the early days of rugby cannot meet these criteria as they pre-date the era of first-class rugby. Also, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or rant about person's importance on a talk page or VfD page -- the article itself must document notability. In addition to Wikipedia's general notability guidelines, the criteria below governing notability of rugby union clubs are derived from and should be interpreted consistently with the guidelines for organizations ( WP:ORG). WP:ORG establishes notability guidelines that are generally applicable to all organizations, but also states that certain subject areas "may be governed by more specific guidelines." A rugby union club is presumed notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
An amateur rugby union club is unlikely to be notable, unless it meets one of the above criteria or has been shown to meet the broader WP:N criteria. A rugby union competition is deemed notable if:
