Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Rugby union

WP:DSRU

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Rugby union. 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|Rugby union|~~~~}} 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 Rugby union. 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.

Non-notable league, unreferenced. Fails WP:GNG. I haven't found any coverage online, though admittedly, I'm not familiar with this topic area at all. As such, please ping me if sources are found. Thanks. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 08:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable rugby player, sources are all routine coverage or borderline-primary sources ("a history of the club"), no evidence of international play so fails WP:NSPORTS and WP:GNG. Primefac (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Sports, Rugby league, Rugby union, and England. Primefac (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lacks significant coverage. Mn1548 (talk) 09:43, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have any of the sources been looked into, or a newspaper search been done? He played well over 100 games for the Hull Kingston Rovers, a top-tier team. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
