GC players
Hi there, firstly, thanks for all your work on the draft templates and articles. But I'd be cautious about creating too many articles on the new draftees, unless they have significant coverage in independent sources - not just a listing from a generic draft article or something on the Suns' website. Some people get very touchy about the WP:NSPORT notability requirement, which is they should have played professional football before having an article created. I've always argued that the WP:GNG notability requirement of significant coverage outranks the sport specific rule, so it pays to only create articles on players who've had detailed articles on them, not just trivial mentions.

- Noted and just to clarify, I have created two templates (one for the Gold Coast and one for the draft) and just one player page (for Thomas Lynch-Gold Coast) due to the potential confusion with Tom Lynch (StKilda) and did this with respect to his high draft number (#11), which has shown in previous years to be a fairly safe bet that the player is notable and the fact that he is a high-draft pick in a new team, which increases the likelihood that he will be a future star, although I do understand that it's possible that this may not be the case. The rest of my work has been editing existing pages. Lympathy Talk 11:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Bloody Herald Sun
Hi there, thanks for this edit. The annoying thing is that I only wrote pick 10 because I was reading this Herald Sun article at the time and it said he was pick 10 :) Just goes to show where trusting the Sun will get you :) Jenks24 (talk) 17:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
