New draftee articles
[edit]Hi there, and thanks for your footballer contributions. However, you may want to review the WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT notability requirements. The NSPORT requirement is virtually impossible for new draftees to meet (ie they can't play professional football until March next year), so unless there is significant coverage (ie not just a list or brief mention) in independent (ie not the AFL or club website) reliable sources (so not self-published, and local newspapers might struggle to comply), then it is tough to keep the articles. If the player then gets delisted before he plays, then he'll almost certainly be deleted. So it might pay to concentrate on helping to improve existing articles before you create too many new ones.

DYK for Andrew Hooper
[edit]On 1 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Andrew Hooper, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during the Western Bulldogs' 2010 season, Australian rules footballer Andrew Hooper was described by the Herald Sun as a "cult figure"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Proposed deletion of Tom Hill (Australian footballer)
[edit]The article Tom Hill (Australian footballer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Delisted without playing a league game. No significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. The-Pope (talk) 10:48, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
