Football notability standards

edit

Hello Kelsie. I noticed you've created a few articles related to FC Barcelona Femení that fail our notability guidelines related to football (WP:NFOOTY). For players or managers, they should have played or managed in a fully-professional league (see a list maintained at WP:FPL). As the Primera División (women) is not fully-professional, playing or managing in it does not grant the subjects notability. However, many Barcelona players will be notable by virtue of having won international caps, which does grant notability. The notability of 2018–19 FC Barcelona Femení season is also questionable, as the WP:NSEASONS guideline is generally interpreted to mean fully-professional in the context of football.

I'd advise concentrating on articles on players/managers that do pass the notability guideline, as otherwise your work is likely to be in vain (as articles will almost certainly be deleted). Cheers, Number 57 15:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

PS, don't be too disheartened by having a couple of articles deleted – it's all part of the learning process. I have had many of my articles deleted – quite often by myself once I realised the subject was not noteworthy after all. Number 57 16:03, 7 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it. I do have a question though- would this also apply to any player that's only ever played in the Primera División (women), or do they have to make a notable contribution to sport elsewhere? For example, Clàudia Pina has an article, but she's a Barcelona youth player that's only played sparingly for their senior team. The reason I assume that stays up is because she has successes outside of the Spanish league (being pivotal in Spain winning the U17 Women's World Cup and being runner-up in U17 Women's Euro, for example, although afaik U17 youth tournaments aren't considered professional.) Also, could I keep the source code for the articles and reinstate it at a later time once they do make a contribution considered notable (provided I add that information) and/or if the league becomes professional? Thanks. Kelsiesmith7 (talk) 05:35, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
The guideline requires players to have played for a senior international team or a club in a fully-professional league. Playing in youth tournaments like the U17 World Cup wouldn't not be sufficient for notability purposes. There are a small number of exceptions, where players have received significant media coverage in independent sources. However, my personal view is that if you're famous for being a footballer, but haven't actually ever played professionally or internationally, I would question whether there is really any enduring notability. Many young players are hyped up in the press (especially in the Premier League) but never make it.
With regards to the source code, I will happily undelete any articles for you on request if the player passes the notability threshold through international or league appearances (the code remains accessible for admins). Cheers, Number 57 12:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

WP:WOSO News: October 2020

Hello WOSO editors!

What a year to be alive. As usual (but perhaps even moreso since there have been unexpected quarantines), there has been a lot of activity on player, team, league and tournament-related Wikipedia articles with all of the worldwide coverage of women's football / soccer. Great work!

Fall Focus: FA WSL articles

You may have noticed lots of great things going on for the top English league this year: the FA WSL. More (international!) broadcasts, top international player signings, improved media coverage, and increased viewership. Let's keep the momentum brewing, shall we?

Here's a sampling of articles that could use creation, expansion or updating. What will you commit to working on?

Historical Topics
Managers
Teams
Players
Other

See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force/Initiatives/FA WSL to collaborate and organize with other editors.

Every little bit helps! Thanks for your contributions!

Did you know...

WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in two currently active women's leagues)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}

Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues

DYK for Vicky López

edit

On 25 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Vicky López, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Vicky López (pictured) took up horse riding during a six-month period when she was not allowed to play football? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Vicky López. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Vicky López), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
