Retirement

Del Potro's retirement has not yet been confirmed with reliable sources stating that he only said it was likely. Per WP:CRYSTALBALL the article's infobox should not add a year or date of retirement until it's either been confirmed by himself or the ATP/ITF (you can find a list of players that have retired since 2015 here). --Bonoahx (talk) 12:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bonoahx, yes, it is not confirmed that he will not retire just yet. He also accepted another Wild Card (WC) for the 2022 Rio Open, however, we need 3+ reliable sources containing that del Potro has retired. Severe storm 28 20:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, del Potro's retirement is still not confirmed by reliable sources or himself or the ATP. 592Franklin704 (talk) 16:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A massive amount of uncited material, including quotes, statistics, and much else; the article is also probably too unfocused at ~11500 words. Thus, violating criteria 2b) and 3b). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:59, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. At several places, it goes on for several long paragraphs without a single reference. Getting the sourcing in order would require a lot of effort. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:30, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GA/R "Editors should prioritize bringing an article up to standard above delisting."--Wolbo (talk) 00:49, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improve. It seems the lack of citations is concentrated in the latter years of his career. It should be possible with a bit of effort to address that shortcoming. Would like to try to do that before the article gets delisted.--Wolbo (talk) 00:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting to improve the article Wolbo; it'll be a large task but greatly appreciated. Please note here when you think you're finished, or can't continue (no prejudice against the latter). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AirshipJungleman29, it will probably take a few weeks and I will report here on the outcome.--Wolbo (talk) 19:13, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wolbo, you've done an excellent job but there are still significant uncited sections. Any chance that you could fix them? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:25, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AirshipJungleman29, sure. Most of the work has been done but a few areas still need attention. Have also tidied up the wording where needed and will do a full scan of the article at the end. Took a bit more time than expected but should be done by the end of the month at the latest.--Wolbo (talk) 17:52, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wolbo, any update? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:34, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AirshipJungleman29, added more references. Don't see any significant deficiencies anymore. Also tidied up wording a bit more and removed some trivial content in a few places.--Wolbo (talk) 21:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
