Speedy deletion nomination of Special Talk:UnusedFiles

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi

Hi. At last count, you have made a grand total of eight edits to actual encyclopedia entries, eleven edits to user pages, and 53 edits to user talk pages (not including the additional few edits of your alternative account). As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and neither social network nor a chat room, I strongly suggest that you focus on building our content lest you want to encounter a block in the future. Some leniency is extended to newer users, but after a while, it is expected that every account contribute to both the community and the educational content.

Just an FYI. Please ping me if you have any questions or concerns. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:35, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Not sure if you are watching it or not, but I have responded on my talk page. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 04:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Protection

In a word, no. Sorry, but I haven't a clue how. I'm more of an up front delete the spam type of admin. I will admit to not even knowing what cascading is or does. (No-one asked me about this at my RfA...) You'd be better off with one of the more behind the scenes people like User:Fæ or User:Gfoley4. In the meantime, I will try to find out more about it, in case someone else asks. My thanks for the userbox, by the way. I looked in your userboxes to see if there was something to nick, and thought, 'That reminds me of something'. Then went to check and found it there. Even more sorry now I can't help with the cascading. Peridon (talk) 19:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

See here for what cascading protection is. LikeLakers2 (talk) 19:57, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

OK. It says "Cascading protection should be used only to prevent vandalism to particularly visible pages such as the Main Page.". I definitely think you're better to be talking to one of those two others. I will try many things once (including once climbing a quarry in the dark while sober enough to drive...) but I'd feel safer passing the buck here. Peridon (talk) 20:08, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, anyway, I guess I'll ask this: Is there anything that I have in my userspace that I should not have there? LikeLakers2 (talk) 20:16, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Question regarding a comment of yours at Jimbo's talk page.

Regarding this post, would it change your mind if you knew that the individual who posted the question had provided Anderson with material for the Signpost article? This article was entirely about Wikipedia's coverage of the topic from which this individual was banned and about the process that led to the topic-banning of the individual and others from the area. User:Smatprt seems to have forgotten to mention his involvement in the creation of the Signpost article when looking for opinions about whether he was violating the ban by commenting in a thread about that article. And, of course, in adding a link to that article to Jimbo's talk page, he is again violating the topic ban. If you disagree, you can comment at the AE thread I have opened on the matter. (And, yes, I was the editor whose revert Smatprt objected to.)--Peter cohen (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

That depends. What was he topic banned from the signpost for? Also, mind just linking me to the AE thread, since I'm too lazy to search for it? :P LikeLakers2 (talk) 15:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Gah. I don't mean Signpost, I mean Spectrum or (IEEE Spectrum). The Signpost article discusses a Spectrum article about Wikipedia's coverage of the Shakespeare authorship question (SAQ). Smatprt is topic-banned from SAQ-related matters. He provided material to the author of a Spectrum article giving his side of the circumstances that led to his topic-banning etc. (Fine as it is off-wiki.) Then he posted in the talk page for the relevant Signpost in-the-news page in a thread about the Spectrum article. His contribution concerns two SAQ-related points. So he is now posting on Wikipedia's systems about matters covered by his topic ban. (He has been reminded in the past about the scope of his ban spreading to all pages and spaces in Wikipedia.) Then he posts on Jimbo's page a link to the Spectrum article. So he is again violating his topic-ban by linking to an off-Wiki SAQ article that he helped create. (Looking at the archives yesterday, I discovered that Smarprt has been criticised in the past for editing articles about himself and organisation(s) in which he has been involved without making his conflict of interest clear. So his failure to mention his involvement in the Spectrum article while linking it and defending its author fits his established modus operandi.)

Sorry for going on a bit and for getting my signposts and spectrums confused. I hope the mud is slightly clearer. The AE thread is Wikipedia:AE#Smatprt--Peter cohen (talk) 16:48, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Re: Warnings

In response to your note here: I intended to use a level 3 warning template. Per this, "It is not always necessary for an editor engaging in vandalism to receive a full 4 warnings before they can be reported or blocked ... in cases of obvious bad faith vandalism, it may be appropriate to use a level 3 warning". Based on the edits and the username, I decided that this guy was just trolling the page, and I cut to the chase. Regards, Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:55, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. You can change the warning I gave to a lvl 4 if you wish. LikeLakers2 (talk) 18:58, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't think that will be necessary. He seems to have gotten the message. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 05:38, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

ACL

Not that I dispute the revision of the vandalism on the Detroit Waza article. However your edit summary says that an ACL isn't a body part. I just thought I'd point out that in sports a torn ACL is the term for a tear in the Anterior cruciate ligament. Quite a common injury in football and soccer actually.

MathType

Hi, you reverted my changes to MathType (as User:FleetCommand had earlier), with the change comment 'Reverted 1 edit by Quietbritishjim (talk): "Vast removal of verifiable contents and extensive use of weasel words" <-- FleetCommand is correct, you know. He had good reason to do'.

My answer is, "no, I don't know!", because FleetCommand wouldn't tell me what his reasons were. Even after he said he wasn't going to revert me again, I still asked where he thought I had used weasel words, because I am genuinely interested in feedback about my edits and improving the article. I tried my best to assume good faith, and desperately tried to discuss the content of the article, but aside from his initial vague comment he refused to take part (instead just accusing me of "trolling", "edit-warring", and a couple of other insults).

Now you've reverted all my edits again, but perhaps you'll engage in more constructive conversation? If you really think my edits are problematic, can you please discuss them on the talk page? I have numbered my changes to help the discussion. I would especially like to hear where you think I used weasel words. Aside from that, I can't believe that you think that all my changes are bad: some of them are just simple things (like removing duplicated content (4) or turning lists into prose (6,7)), and some correct factually inaccurate statements (5,8). I already conceded on (2). Please head over there and let me know what you think. Thanks. Quietbritishjim (talk) 11:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to reply and say what you didn't like about my edit. As I've posted on the MathType talk page, I've created proposed new version (diff from current version) in my user namespace, which I hope addresses your problems.

First of all, I think that one thing that might have annoyed you (and FleetCommand) was that I deleted all the references. This is because all of them were first-party references (i.e. by the makers of MathType), which I thought wasn't allowed. I've now found out that an article "should be based around third-party references", but first-party references are still allowed in some circumstances. I'll say it: I was wrong!

But your main objection was that the current version says MathType is "compatible with 884 applications", whereas my edit makes it sound like that isn't true. That's because it really isn't true! Almost all of the apps in MathType's "works with..." database say things like "embed as an OLE object" or "insert as an image". I guess you can debate whether being able to insert an image counts as "compatibility with MathType", but my proposed article avoids using this language at all by describing precisely what MathType can do.

(By the way, this is actually a good thing, because OLE is supported by thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of applications, so supporting OLE is much better than supporting a few hundred individual applications. But whether it's good or bad is irrelevant, the important thing is documenting what happens accurately.)

You also said I removed features. Just about the only feature I removed was "copy and paste". I think this is included in being WYSIWYG, and is too basic to be mentioned on its own. If I saw a piece of software that listed "copy and paste" as a feature, I would read that as "no notable features" - even notepad supports copy and paste! Anyway, I clarified other features of MathType.

I hope you can have a quick look at my proposal and give some feedback. I've now spent much more time on this article than I care about this program! Thanks, Jim. Quietbritishjim (talk) 15:59, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps what I meant is that you removed a list of facts. I mean, you can fix them if you wish, but may I see what the page might look like should the proposed edit be made? LikeLakers2 (talk) 16:04, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Current version (without my edits); proposed new version; difference between the two Quietbritishjim (talk) 16:09, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I already saw. Looks much better than what either of us were doing for MathType in my opinion. If I were to choose to allow it or not, I would allow it. LikeLakers2 (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Blimey, you reply quickly! Thanks. I'll leave it a couple of days in case someone sees my message on Talk:MathType, then I'll update the article. I might have spent more time than I like on this, but I did learn some stuff in the process, especially formulas using Google charts API. Quietbritishjim (talk) 16:18, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey

Dude, THANK YOU. I know Sinebot is doing its job, getting ridiculous pay, but I know that I forgot. I've only been a user for, like, 1.5 months. Sometimes I forget. P.S: That's the second time I got that, so I'm kinda annoyed.--Solowing106 (talk) 04:44, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Fyi

In here you said that I'm violating 3RR. Where did you see me make 3RR?Ksmdr (talk) 09:38, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

See here. Thats where I got the point that you were violating the 3RR rule as well. Still, not trying to be mean, just pointing it out. LikeLakers2 (talk) 14:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

That template was added by the user with whom he is edit warring. Anyway, although Ksmdr had indeed reverted four times on the page (last time I looked), he had not done so within 24 hours - or anything close to 24 hours. So he hadn't technically broken 3RR - although one doesn't have to break 3RR to get blocked for edit warring. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 16:44, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

It could just be a COI problem, instead. Thanks for letting me know, Demiurge1000. LikeLakers2 (talk) 16:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Which of the two users are you suggesting might have a COI problem? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Was suggesting that the problem itself was the COI problem, not the users. LikeLakers2 (talk) 17:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

"A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor" (my emphasis). There has to be an editor involved - a fort or a country or an ethnicity or a political or historical belief can't be a conflict of interest in itself.

So for example, if we have reason to believe that one of the editors here owns one of the structures of which they are inserting images; or if we have reason to believe that one of them works for the tourism agency of one of the two countries involved; or if we have reason to believe that one of them is the nephew of someone who runs a shop selling ice cream immediately opposite the tourist attractions of which photos are being inserted; then we could suggest that they might have a conflict of interest. But, we have no reason to believe any of these things, so we can't. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:49, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

I see where you are going there. Well then, I guess I was wrong with the COI thing, but at least I had good reason to believe it was a COI problem, right? LikeLakers2 (talk) 17:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, Akbar Khan89's behavior was so baffling that COI could be just as good as any other explanation :) It would be like edit-warring a photo of the Lakers' stadium into Template:History of Spain, just because, umm, Los Angeles was founded by people who were ethnically Spanish :) As you've probably seen, they've been blocked for 31 hours. Rather than COI, though, my explanation would be WP:PLAGUE! (Just an essay, and not quite as exciting as it sounds.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:11, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Dang. Perhaps link me to something more interesting next time? :P LikeLakers2 (talk) 18:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

User talk page deletion

Hi it would not matter if the IP asked to delete their own talk page or someone else did. The reason is that others should be able to read the warnings in the history. If the warnings are old, say over a year old then we could delete, but the ones here were new, and potentially relevent to the person or persons who use that IP address. There may be other reasons to delete a talk page such as disclosure of information by a minor, or by accident, copyright violation or spam. For the more sensitive reasons you can email an admin or use IRC to prevent drawing the public's attention to the content. A user in good standing can also have the WP:right to vanish when they can get their talk page and user pages deleted. But this right does not apply to anonymous IPs.

User talk:Shroffameen

Hey, LikeLakers2. I noticed Graeme Bartlett's post above. It applies to your suggestion to Shroffameen too: his user talk page is actually the only userspace page he normally can't have deleted. See WP:DELTALK. The rationale for this is that other users have posted on the page — which they normally haven't done on the rest of his userpages — and may need their own posts for evidence of something or other, or simply for copyright reasons. Perhaps you'd like to consider adding a note about this to Shroffameen? Regards, Bishonen | talk 12:52, 18 August 2011 (UTC).

Why did you add the "you may edit this page" text to Jimbo's userpage if you plan to revert any good-faith edits people make? Jebus989^✰ 18:21, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I was reverting it as Jimbo Wales put it that way. I had it at the bottom before, and Jimbo himself moved it to the top.

If so, that was me, not logged on. I can see how you would think that was vandalism. If I were someone else, I'd think the same thing. Those, I meant to put there.

R from CamelCase

It makes sense that "RFC" would stand for "Redirect from CamelCase," but {{RFC}} was never used to mean that, nor do I think anyone ever interpreted it to mean that. (The RFC template has been around for several years and has always been used in the Requests for Comment process.) As far as I can see, it's needless disambiguation. hare j 01:07, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Soooooo...should I undo my edit? No worries or problems with that though. LikeLakers2 (talk) 01:12, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

It's not necessarily bad; I just thought it was weird. (And I asked you about it in case there was some context I didn't know about.) hare j 01:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Quick, what is a Barnstar?

ANI Notice

I am only posting this on your page because I am required to.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Srobak (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Warning

It is clear that both you and Srobak are in the wrong in this situation; however, there are two major mistakes you made and you should strive not to make them again. Please read Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Your behavior on Srobak's talk page was wholly unacceptable. In addition, in the course of your discussion you (intentionally?) fanned the flames. When you get into a dispute like the one you got into, it is often more helpful to back down and seek advice rather than furthering the problem. Ryan Vesey Review me! 14:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

In addition, please note that telling someone they may bring them to ANI is not considered a threat and is not a personal attack. Ryan Vesey Review me! 15:03, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and say that you should not under any circumstances make an edit to someone's user page. Furthermore, do not modify someone's talk page posts. No modifying for grammar or anything. Any modification of someone else's content is exceedingly bad form and you have already been warned for the issue. Ryan Vesey Review me! 17:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I was looking through your CSD log

I noticed your speedy deletion tag on Ksmdr's talk page. In the future, if a similar situation arises, remove the offending content and replace it with a welcome message. If the content is especially bad, find an administrator and ask them to do a revision deletion. Ryan Vesey Review me! 12:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I will. Just in case you didn't know, I actually was told of this by an admin before. I forget where it is, (if its non-archived or archived) but still. Thanks for telling me, however. I appreciate any and all messages. LikeLakers2 (talk) 12:45, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I checked the archive, and the only thing I saw was the speedy decline. Unless the admin didn't include "ksmdr" in the message because that is what I searched for. Ryan Vesey Review me! 12:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

IIRC, I don't think it did have that in there. Just search throughout the page (I'm too lazy to look myself :P ) LikeLakers2 (talk) 12:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hello LikeLakers2, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 10:19, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Request

Hello, I noticed you and User:Ezekiel53746 have an apparent friendship on Wikipedia. As you may or may not know, he is about to start a mentorship programme with me as his guide. As part of this agreement, I have asked that Ezekiel cuts down on his using user talk pages as a place to chit-chat. A bit of chat won't hurt anyone, but as he is on a tightrope and could well be blocked again, I am asking if you would be willing to help me by also agreeing not to use Ezekiel's talk page for that purpose. Thanks, Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 06:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

All The Help

Thanks for all the help w/ pointing out the template for the non admin thing and also for fixing my userboxes. =). --Kangaroopowah (talk) 18:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

No problem! Funny thing, I apparently also did something for a admin as well today! His talkpage editnotice was a bit graphically bugged, (see this for what I mean) and I eventually tried removing the second line from it, since it was kinda redundant to use that, and IE9 now seems to show it correctly in the edit mode for his userpage. It looked fine before AND after when viewing his talkpage editnotice on the page it was transcluded from. I, of course, did let him know of it, however. And I always don't mind if the user, like you for your userboxes, reverts my attempt(s) to fix something that is wrong with something. Again, I have no problem with trying to help!

Hello LikeLakers2, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of User:American--Mexican--xD, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G2 does not apply to pages in the user namespace. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 19:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok

Please stop spamming my wall. Thanks Colofac (talk) 13:16, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I would never spam it. I just wished to notify you of that. However, you still have the right to remove content from your own talk page like you did. Just make sure you follow the guidelines when you do so. The main two guidelines I would like to link you to for this are WP:UP#CMT and WP:TPO. Thanks. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 13:20, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

How dare you patronise me like that. I know full well what the guidelines are. Who the hell are you to lecture me like that? Colofac (talk) 13:22, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

All I said was that you should always follow the guidelines. Never said you weren't following them. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 13:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

So why bring them up in the first place? If I'm not breaking them, why remind me to follow them? Mind your own goddamned business and never message me again. Colofac (talk) 13:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I bring them up because they are related to user talk pages in general. And, while I will leave you alone, perhaps you should know that saying "Mind your own goddamned business" like that could be considered a rude thing to some people. I'm not bothered by it, but you still shouldn't say that, as it could be percieved as a threat if you went much farther. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 13:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

You've already had Ani reports taken out against your inappropriate actions and warnings, please don't make me have to file another one against you. Competence is required, perhaps you should read it. Colofac (talk) 13:33, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

So you say I'm incompetent? Name one place where I acted incompetently. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 13:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes. You were warned about interfering on user talk pages , if you carry on altering my talk page, interfering in my actions, or otherwise harassing me, I will have no choice but to reopen this case against you. I hope this is clear to you, because I am not going to continue discussing this or any matter with you. The next time you alter, edit, post a warning or otherwise interfere with my page, it will be straight back to ani. Colofac (talk) 13:52, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Interaction ban

Per this AN/I thread and its previous incarnation, you and Srobak are given a mutual ban from interacting with each other for a period of one year. Direct responses to Srobak and comments about Srobak, direct or indirect, will violate this interaction ban. lifebaka++ 15:45, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for not informing you of this matter. I appreciate the understanding you displayed in your comments at ANI. Quite frankly, you have given us absolutely no reason for concern, but interaction bans must be a two way street - otherwise the first party can antagonize, and the second cannot respond - and the users of concern in this matter need to stop discussing you and your past with them. This ANI did not start with a concern about your activities, nor does its resolution express concern about you. Again, my apologies for the oversight in not informing you when it became clear that you would be effected. If you have anything to add in this matter, or any concerns or questions about the ANI discussion or resolution, please feel free to post at the AN/I thread.

September 2011

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Template:WikiProject Flag Template. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Toddst1 (talk) 22:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, LikeLakers2. You have new messages at Toddst1's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Let me be perfectly clear

Per WP:BLANKING editors are allowed to remove warnings including block notices from their talk page.

You are WAY over 3RR on a number of pages today. While the three-revert rule is hard and fast, please be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring without making 3 reverts to an article in 24 hours. You are not entitled to 3 reverts and are expected to cooperatively engage other editors on talk pages rather than reverting their edits and if you are reverting someone's edit you are expected to know the relevant policies.

If I seen any more of this I will block you immediately. Toddst1 (talk) 22:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Uncivil behavior in edit warring

This is completely unacceptable, uncivil behavior. Given that behavior which led to your edit warring on Rino among other edit wars today, you have lost rollback privileges after 24 days. Toddst1 (talk) 22:58, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, and no, I will NOT be abusing this fact, but it doesn't exactly matter, as Twinkle includes rollback functions, which are usable even to users without rollback flags, meaning there isn't that much of a point to removing it when I will still have a technical rollback ability, due to Twinkle. Again, I won't abuse this fact, but I just want to let you know, as my reason for requesting it was because Twinkle had it anyway, so there was no reason not to have it anyway.

This is a notification that you have stepped over your bounds at SPI with the following three edits:

1. The confirmed tag is for Checkusers only. Do not use it without linking to a relevant discussion where a CU has used the exact same tag.
2. Archiving is left up to the clerks so if mistakes are made, or there is other stuff to do, it can be caught before it's an issue.
3. You didn't even comment on the fact that you were archiving it.

I thought maybe cascading protection would protect all the templates listed there, but apparently that's only for transcluded templates. No time to do all of them individually, so I'll have to let another admin take care of it. Dreadstar ☥ 04:44, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, then I can try making a page of all of them transcluded, but hidden. Then you could try cascading protecting them. I'm at school right now though, so I won't be able to do it right now.

The criterion for speedy a7 is much lower than lack of notability , it is having no possible claim to importance. Saying someone is on a sports team with an article in Wikipedia is a claim to possible importance; the proper course for a team whose members don't meet WP:N, is to use WP:PROD.
