Talk:Anti-jock movement

Untitled

I will submit my argumentations regarding the "notability" of my article as soon as possible. I respectfully request that any deletion of the article be delayed until I can properly respond. Thank you.

A fair request. Just please remember deletion can't be delayed indefinitely waiting on substantiation that may or may not be coming. Please ask me if you need help or advice! - Vianello (Talk) 19:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for waiting.

I have reviewed the criteria for "notability" and believe that the article I produced meets the criteris for at least the following reasons:

First, the topic of the article is covered by several reliable sources which are independent of the subject. These sources are primarily articles in acadmeic journals, as well as several books. Some of these sources are cited in the refernce section of the article itself. (If i have used improper citation format, I would be happy to correct it.) Further, as noted in the criteria:"Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive." The sources covering the phenomenon described in the article consist of at least one academic journal article (the Wilson article)which covers the phenomenon exclusively, at least one other article (also cited, i.e. the Stack/Kelly article) that describes the phenomenon as part of an overall larger phenonmenon (i.e. individualistic rebellions/protests against a mainstream media and culture), and several books which give the phenomenon significant non-trivial treatment. (I cited two books, but there are others which can be found by typing the name of the Wilson article, or the words "anti-jock movement" into the Google search of books.)

Second, the article I produced, as well as the sources cited therein, describe an actual, albeit nascent cultural phenomenon on the internet. I have actually provided links to several cites which are constituent of the "cyber-movement" described in my article. As the Wilson article notes, the quality of the websites vary greatly, as they are often of a "homemade" variety, and they vary from single page rants to well-produced large websites. I have provided links to a few of the better produced sites. (These sites, in turn, have more links to other such sites of various forms, quality levels, and styles.) This itself evidences the existence of the phenomenon described in the article.

I recognize the short nature of the article, but, as noted, it references an actual, exisying phenomenn, but one which is nascent in nature.

I believe that the above shows compliancve with the notability criteria of Wikipedia. If I am mistaken, please inform me of how I can remedy the matter. (Lazloholifeld (talk) 20:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC))

Collective Action

Just a piece of advice: it might be a good idea to incorporate statistics that fuel the Anti- Jock Movement to this page. For example the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes or (NCAVA) has posted statistics of correlation's of violent crime to violent sports.
