Speedy deletion nomination of Dino Fazlic

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dino Fazlic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Dino Fazlic

edit

Rather then delete it, I have "userfied" the article for you - moved it to User:Rulez420rulez/Dino Fazlic where you can work on it. In its present state, it is not ready for the encyclopedia, and would be deleted.

  • Read WP:Your first article for advice.
  • Wikipedia's WP:Notability standard for footballers is at WP:NFOOTBALL. A footballer doesn't qualify for a Wikipedia article until he has played for a team in one of these leagues. An article about Fazlic was deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dino Fazlić for that reason. I see that he has now been signed by Fulham, but that is not enough - he must have actually played for the first team. So "Appearances" for Fulham should not be 0.
  • And you need a reference to a reliable source to confirm that. The article needs references anyway, because of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." Verifiability is so important that articles about living people are deleted after seven days if unreferenced.
  • The infobox says "Current team:Genoa" - I suppose that's just a mistake, but it needs sorting out.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football is a group of users interested in football articles - you can find useful advice there. When you start a new article, a good way is to go to Help:Userspace draft and enter the title. That will make you a userspace draft page, like this one, where you can develop the article until it is ready, without the risk of premature deletion.
