Talk:Female Gridiron League of Queensland

League plays seven-a-side football?

"Waterford resident Ella Toovey will captain the first Queensland Allstars team with players from the Logan City Jets, Kenmore Panthers and Gold Coast Sea Wolves against Victoria in March.... Each of the three teams play in a seven-a-side Logan competition created last August at the Logan Metro Sports Complex."[1]

Does the league still play seven-a-side football? This is relevant, as six-man football and "regular" gridiron have some pronounced differences, in the same way that rugby sevens and fifteen-a-side rugby have differences. —C.Fred (talk) 13:21, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually, per their Facebook, it's nine-man football this year. —C.Fred (talk) 17:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah it's nine-aside this year,(seven aside last year). League is sanctioned by GQ, Gridiron Australia, IFAF and abides by NCAA equipment rules. Eligible to participate in women's World Cup which is eleven-aside. Its regular tackle American Football (not flag touch football for example) but the nine-man football edit is fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgollan (talk • contribs) 01:53, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

What's the parent code for the rules? Since you mentioned NCAA equipment, is it also NCAA rules? (Quick way to check: what's the penalty for defensive pass interference?) —C.Fred (talk) 03:06, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

All men's, women's and colts leagues sanctioned by GQ, GA follow NCAA rules. I'm not an official Fred but the penalty is the same as NCAA because that's the rule book our officials use. Is it on the spot of the foul? Pgollan (talk) 04:46, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

NCAA is the lesser of 15 yards or spot foul with special enforcement if the foul is in the end zone, plus an automatic first down. (NFHS (high school) is 15 yards and repeat the down; NFL is spot of the foul (special enforcement in end zone) and automatic first down.) But if you know which rulebook they use, that answers the question. —C.Fred (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

One day the Australian women's gridiron team will go to a World Cup and beat the Americans. Maybe not in my lifetime or yours. But I want to make sure they know where it all started. This is where women's gridiron started in Australia. Now I appreciate as a student of the rule book, this little piece of history may not excite you or your friends, but it is history & it is notable. Help me. Don't waste my time.Pgollan (talk) 07:46, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

I have added some references to other states that are starting women's gridiron leagues due to pioneering efforts of FGLQ last year, as well as video evidence of the first sanctioned game of women's gridiron ever played in Australia and video evidence of the first ever championship game of women's gridiron played in Australia.124.187.111.165 (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC) Never let the truth get in the way of a great story. Some of these facts are correct and some are pure fantasy by the writer203.173.42.60 (talk) 09:14, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Upmerge from Logan City Jets under discussion

A deletion discussion is under way regarding the Logan City Jets. The full discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Logan City Jets (2nd nomination). I've recommended that, as an outcome of the deletion discussion, the Jets' article be merged into this one. As a result, I'm notifying editors who watch this page of the possibility. —C.Fred (talk) 14:10, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Done. Merged after AFD recommendation of merge. -- Whpq (talk) 21:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Article should be redirected

Seeing as @C.Fred: wishes this to be discussed, I will make this plain. The subject of this article is not notable. All the sources are either primary sources or trivial coverage. The two that seem to lead to major newspapers (the Courier Mail and the Herald Sun) are in fact from local community newspapers (the Albert & Logan News and the Maroondah Leader respectively - this is noted in the reporter's attribution). The Gold Coast Bulletin link does not lead to anything relevant. With that in mind there is no mainstream coverage so this must be described as trivial. As there are no reliable independent sources outside of this, the article must fail the notability test under WP:SPORT. I would restart the AfD, but the redirect to Gridiron Queensland is more appropriate (and I can't start an AfD). 101.189.46.14 (talk) 10:01, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

• I have placed a {{Merge to}} template on the Gridiron Queensland article to advise editors there that this discussion is under way. I'd like to know what the IP user turned up in his Google search about the league before suggesting the redirect—to make sure there hasn't been additional coverage since the last AfD discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 14:52, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Nothing that can be used - ie primary sources and anything outside of that is talking about the national ladies competition. (I'm the same person - modem re-booted over night) Oh and I fixed the merge to as it went back to this article and not to Gridiron Queensland. 101.182.21.39 (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Support merge proposal: merge seems preferable to deletion as there is references text of the page and we currently have duplication of content which should be resolved. Klbrain (talk) 13:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
