Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Joseph McGinley, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I'll reiterate: do not remove discussions from talk pages except through an approved archive process.WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!!20:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Rockypopod!

Here are the key points:
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.

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.
Yes, I wish to have the page deleted. There is already another page the all Ireland junior football championship 1933 which contains all the same information and more. The page we are discussing now is too short and adds nothing new. I knew no other way to delete the page than wiping it all out. My apologies if I went about this the wrong way.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by QuicoleJR was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Thanks for the feedback. Could you explain to me why the subject is not notable? Would it be an improvement if I got newspaper coverage from the time of his athletic accomplishments? Are newspaper reports satisfactory?
Yes, newspaper reports is what is needed here, although scholarly sources would also work. If you can find some of either of those, that would allow the article to be published. Also, please remember to sign any comments you post on talk pages using four ~ symbols. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, QuicoleJR (talk) 02:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like I mentioned in the other section, newspaper articles or scholarly sources are needed to establish notabililty. If you can find a few good sources like that, the article can be published. QuicoleJR (talk) 02:39, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
