This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Rugby league. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Rugby league|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Rugby league. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{ transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{ prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

I am unable to find enough coverage of this American rugby player to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSPERSON. My searches yielded only trivial mentions. A possible redirect is 2017 Rugby League World Cup squads#United States. JTtheOG ( talk) 06:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep 25 international appearances is quite notable plus I have been able to fine a few more sources [1] [2] [3] [4]. Mn1548 ( talk) 11:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • The first three sources are from USARL, which is the competition the subject played in and thus not independent. The fourth source is a blog post with a passing mention of the subject, and thus is not reliable OR in-depth. JTtheOG ( talk) 16:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep, I've seen similarly irrelevant sports players with articles about them. Maurnxiao ( talk) 19:22, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument to keep an article. JTtheOG ( talk) 19:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

From that website:

This may be an argument that this article is not bad enough to be speedily deleted; but that does not mean it should be kept.

So unless I misinterpreted which is possible, is there any rush to get this article removed? Why not improve it? Maurnxiao ( talk) 19:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your response. In this case, "speedily delete" refers to speedy deletion, a separate, much quicker procedure which does not need a discussion to delete a page. This rugby article is not eligible to be deleted through that medium. However, in my opinion, the subject has not received significant coverage from reliable sources that cover him directly and in detail and thus might fail our general notability guidelines, which is why I brought it to a discussion. JTtheOG ( talk) 20:51, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I see, thank you. Maurnxiao ( talk) 20:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I am unable to find enough independent coverage of this rugby league player to meet WP:GNG. There are a couple of interviews available ( 1, 2), but nothing approaching WP:SIGCOV.

• Undecided Given his career their should be more sources available. Current level of sourcing is borderline for notatability in my opinion, but more closer to delete than keep. Mn1548 ( talk)

As you know, participation-based criteria for athletes were deprecated in 2022. Biographies of living persons require strong sourcing. JTtheOG ( talk) 19:13, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply
