Speedy deletion nomination of Papa Agyemang

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Papa Agyemang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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), 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. Frehley 15:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dear Diaa abdelmoneim i have been following the kid since i first saw him playing for fulham's youth and reserve teams.i liked his style of play so much i have followed his career since.i have always wanted to start a page on him and a few other ghanaian players but never got the time and now that i have got the time i am having difficulty doing it. i googled his name and found some website sources. i have been told he took last year out to complete his law degree so a smart footballer aswel who deserves recognition. i copied his CV from his agency's website topnotchsports but seems their website is down at the moment but have everything and other ghanaian players to hand. All the listed websites mention him at some time in the articles in the google ans ask searches i done.

  • The main issue of the article was that it was a copyright violation. You can't copy stuff from the web unless it's not copyrighted. So through these sources you should create an article that has all the info but doesn't have copies of these infos from the sources. So you should write an article in your own words with references to the sources. Start the article with "{{Underconstruction}}" and write the info you can obtain from these sources.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • Ok i hear you. I am able to do that with the information i have but the problem now is the template and accessing it. How do i put my article in the same kind of format as the ones done for all the footballers??? Ps wikipedia can be a confusing place! ~~
I think we should start first with putting the info there then working on the style. To create a section add "=== Section name ===" for the rest of stuff I would suggest copying from the other football articles and replacing the info with your own. I suggest you give it a go on a page that can't be deleted like User:AHENFYIE/Sandbox. There you can experiment without any deletion requests. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it pretty fast.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 10:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Alright. what i think am going to do type up an article on word in my own words following the procedure of other profiles already on here with all the info i know. i can copy that unto this place then we can work on the rest on here???? ~~

Sure, I'm happy to help--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 14:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Boy oh boy... it took long but i finally finished. I dnt think i will take any page on wikipedia lightly again because the amount of work and time thats needed is beyond belief.please have a look in my sand box. i followed your instruction and it helped a great deal. if all is well with everything i have written then whats next?

Didnt hear anything from you but as i had finished with the page for now i preceded with moving it. it just redirects it as to coming up as papa agyemang on google when searched. How do i get it to look just like all the other ghanaian footballers pages when the name is put into the search engine instead of my user name AHENFYIE coming up??

You have to remove the redirect from your sandbox. I did it for you this time :) ... Thanks for the nice article..--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 23:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that bro.You would need to show me how to do that. I have a couple more articles but need to do some more research first? What kind of articles do you write? and where do you reside? Just googled it and it still aint coming up bro>? ~~

Proposed deletion of Papa Agyemang

edit
 

The article Papa Agyemang has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Footballer who appears to have never played in a fully-professional league, thus failing the soccer-specific notability guideline, and fails the general notability guideline as little non-routine media coverage exists.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Struway2 (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
