Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Football

For American football, see WikiProject Deletion sorting/American football

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Football (soccer). It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Football|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Football (soccer). For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Sports.

Ni Bo

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is rather sizeable, but written from primary sources and with overblown claims.

First regarding the sources: not a single one is significant and independent. They are all primary sources, including a press release from Wuhan Zall; passing mentions, stats or 404s.
The article lists numerous trophies he won with Guangzhou Evergrande in 2011, 2012, 2013. He did not play a single league game during those years, and no games in the Chinese Super League. Only 2 cup games for Evergrande, as well as four substitutions in the second tier. It might be the case that China awards trophies to people who didn't participate for a single minute in those competitions (some other countries don't), but I don't think that's something he he inherits notability from.
He did have brief spells with two clubs in China's second tier (unfortunately we don't have the no. of minutes) and played 614 minutes in Hong Kong, neither of which are strong claims to notability. He did not play a single league game for Wuhan Zall either. What events would have generated coverage then?

If presented one or two independent sources with significant coverage I might change my mind. Otherwise, I don't think this is strong enough. Geschichte (talk) 20:29, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another long-unsourced article of a Slovak men's footballer named Tomáš without sign of meeting WP:GNG. He has never played at professional level as far as I can tell. The only reliable secondary source I found is SME, which contains an image caption and one sentence describing his rumored appointment as coach of FK Mesta Tornaľa. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A.

~~Comment~~ Keep: The club that they served for plays in Turkey's top league, and soccer in Turkey is a big deal. It is very reasonable to expect lot of coverage in the national and local press. (In fact, almost all prior chairmen of this club have an article on the Turkish Wikipedia, which has very similar notability guidelines to ours and an active community to enforce them.) Since the time that they served was in the pre-internet era, it is not easy to find them online. There is one newspaper source already cited in the article from 2001, from the Turkish newspaper Zaman, but the Internet Archive is down, and the newspaper itself is no longer active. Since we can not easily access it, should we simply ignore it? WP:PAPERONLY TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 16:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Simione001: How do you know he fails GNG? Did you look at even a single North Korean news source from the time? I mean, he's top 15 all-time in caps and football is well-covered in North Korea. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:19, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Draftify. From a quick look, there appears to be a decent claim to notability, such as, as mentioned above, being top 15 all-time in caps; scoring the winning goal in the historic 1991 North-South Korean unification match (which still is covered to this day); and per [2] receiving the honor of People's Athlete, the highest achievement in North Korean sports which is a pass of WP:ANYBIO.

AEK Athens F.C. results in European football

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am also nominating these articles:

Unnecessary WP:FORKs of AEK Athens F.C. in European football. These pages are in violation of WP:NOTSTATS, as articles should not be endless listings of sport statistics.

A match-by-match summary, similar to many other European clubs, can already be found here for AEK Athens. However, no other European clubs list the specific match details (with the date, goals, venue, etc.) for every single international fixture: this is overkill.

These pages also are a WP:FANCRUFT issue, with details on every single booking, substitution, and assistant referees/fourth officials, which is excessive.

We already have season-by-season results with these match summaries on (a) each UEFA competition article, and (b) all AEK Athens season articles (see Category:AEK Athens F.C. seasons, which is complete since the 1960s). We do not need another listing of every single European match result. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not going to !vote either way, but I have no objection to deleting these. My only role in their creation was splitting them off from AEK Athens F.C. in European football after BEN917 added them, which caused the article to exceed the WP:PEIS limit.

I just completed an incomplete article with the results. I can re-add the results in the main article with many of the details removed in order not to exceed the WP:PEIS limit.

Speedy keep - The player is clearly notable. There are some significant coverage about him, such as this article from Choson Sinbo or this article from SPOTV. The player also finished as the top scorer of of the 2017 AFC Cup, which is the equivalent of UEFA Europa League in Asia.:Lâm (talk) 07:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I'm not sure whether these would satisfy WP:GNG to be honest. The first article is very brief and doesn't talk about the individual in any great detail. The second has two sentences about him having x number goals in the North Korean league.
Simione001 (talk) 07:24, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My bad for the second source, I agree that the coverage about the player is too brief. However the first source from Choson Sinbo has a paywall, who always does very detailed coverage about North Korean players. Since there is minimal source for WP:V regarding this player, I think it's enough to establish notability since it's extremely difficult to find numerous coverages for North Korean players. Furthermore, the fact that he played in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and winning the top scorer award in the AFC Cup makes him valid to pass WP:SPORTSPERSON. Lâm (talk) 08:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep I believe there maybe some content there, but I really struggle to understand sources. But there appears there maybe one or two notable aspects about him that can pass WP:BASIC, my vote is a very weak keep know. Govvy (talk) 16:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or draftify if Thplam2004 is interested. The top scorer of the 2017 AFC Cup, and would be the only one without an article. We need to remember that this is North Korea we're dealing with. The Choson Sinbo is probably good enough for sigcov (given that much of the article is paywalled) and SPOTV isn't bad ("Japan selected Kim Yu-song (4.25 Sports Team) ... as the players to watch out for the most in North Korea participating in the East Asian Cup ... The Japan Football Association introduced Kim Yu-song and An Byeong-jun as the most feared opponents from North Korea ahead of the 2017 East Asian Cup (EAFF E-1 Football Championship). Regarding Kim Yu-seong, ... 'He is a 22-year-old rookie who scored a hat-trick in the 2019 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup qualifier against Malaysia in October. He scored 8 goals in 2 games,' and [Japan] named him 'North Korea's ace' [and] as the player to watch out for ... Japan has identified players playing in the J-League and rookie Kim Yu-seong as targets of caution. All four players are key players in North Korea. Naturally, the four players mentioned above are also targets of caution for South Korea.") North Korean newspapers should be used with caution, but KCNA gives SIGCOV as well (see "The attacker who is considered a 'threat' to the opposing team's defense"). There's also some briefish coverage here and here. For a highly-accomplished North Korean footballer, this should be sufficient. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep – I've added the sources to the page, and he is mentioned a fair bit in coverage, but not much in-depth. Difficult to find coverage on most North Korean players, unfortunately. Zênite (talk) 16:46, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of world association football records

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

a jumbled mess of a list article, there is no clear criteria for what is included, and most of what is included is simply trivial information (most headed goals, most wins for a footballer, various random unproven goalscoring records).

Surely all but about five of the records in the article can be described as tenuous? I mean, any non-trivial goals and appearance records already have their own articles, and any other record of note would have its own article owing to notability, but they don't. "Youngest footballer to play in first division", "Footballer to play more years uninterruptedly", "Player to win most international club titles", "Most unbeaten matches", "Manager who won most finals", "Club with the most top tier-level titles", "Competition with most clubs participated in total", etc etc etc etc etc. This is all trivia, and this is the vast majority of the article. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:28, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: We can modify some things but keeping the most important ones. --Juanan412 (talk) 15:57, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you still of the belief that "most left foot goals" is an important one? All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The indication is not based on policy since a list of records will contain some specific information inherent to those who are familiar with the sport. I also disagree that just the existence of a category would resolve the situation. The existing problems regarding the scope of records can and should be resolved together in WP:FOOTBALL (I am personally critical of adopting the IFFHS as the main reference), but a WP:TNT seems completely out of proportion. Svartner (talk) 01:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I didn't know about this article, however I feel it has more than enough validity, it's pretty much well sourced. There are some qualms with it and the criteria might need to be adjusted. But the nomination hasn't provided any policy other than this is trivia and this feels like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT from the nominator. Govvy (talk) 20:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete for the reasons outlined in the nomination. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 17:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. To provide some context, I plan on creating articles for Jordanian clubs that have participated in the Jordanian Second Division League, to which Deir Alla have in 2022. I set this as my limit, given that third-tier clubs and above participate in the Jordan FA Cup and there are no actively fourth-tier teams that participate in the national cup, unlike in some other countries. I don't plan on creating articles of teams that have only played in the fourth tier (i.e. the Jordanian Third Division League), as they are not notable enough to be discussed as an article.

As for the lack of "secondary sources", the vast majority of sources from that article comes from news articles that talk about the club. Zalata42 (talk) 16:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
