Friendly Reminder

[edit]

Just as a reminder, if you improve an article please remove the stub template on the article page and reassess the article on the talk page. This really helps the relevant WikiProjects stay up to date on project assessments. Thanks, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:29, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking of redirecting this one to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929). Can't find anything on him. Thoughts? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:19, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few questions from a newcomer

[edit]

I was wondering the following:

  1. What exactly does SIGCOV stand for? I believe I understand its general purpose (notability) but do not know what the acronym stands for.
  2. After failing to find appropriate sources following a good-faith search, should we color/strikethrough the player when the deletion claim is filed or after the deletion process is approved by an administrator? Thanks, and Go Bills!

  • @Omyhomie: Welcome to WikiProject NFL! "SIGCOV" is a term that stands for "significant coverage", which basically refers to in-depth coverage of a subject by a reliable source. It is required for almost all subjects to receive a Wikipedia article (including football players). An example would be this (from an article I wrote), which is specifically about the subject of the article (C. O. Brocato) and contains detailed commentary about the person. As for your second question, if you are proposing an article for deletion, I would wait to see if it does get deleted before striking it through, and you will want to use the following yellow coding – bgcolor=yellow – in addition to the strikethrough. Hope that helps! BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts? I did my best at piecing him together with a few brief mentions here and there. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:27, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Finding almost nothing but passing mentions or transactions/injuries. Played 6 games 30 years ago but struggling to find anything. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PACKERS pretty much done

[edit]

BeanieFan11 and I have pretty much addressed all of the WP:PACKERS players on this list! Over 60 stubs expanded to at least start-class, with many going all the way to GA! I will still be working on stubs here and there. Best of luck on continuing this great campaign. It has actually taught me a lot about the history of the Packers. So many fascinating people! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
