Proposed deletion of Miyu Kato (tennis)

The article Miyu Kato (tennis) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable per tennis guidelines. No Fed Cup, no $50,000 wins, no WTA main draws.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

WP:NTENNIS

Hi Rubyaxles, whilst we're all Wikipedians, and specifically contributors to WP:WikiProject Tennis, you should be aware of the notability guidelines on tennis players. As a relatively new heavy editor in this subject area, I hate to see your time being wasted when it comes to creating articles on "non-notable" tennis players. I saw that your first bio, Miyu Kato (tennis), has been PRODed, and I fear that the same will happen to Rebecca Šramková, as she's just not notable at present. I wouldn't want you to invest so much time on articles which are going to be deleted hours or days after you've written them, so I suggest you study the notability guidelines so this doesn't have to happen again. However, many thanks for your otherwise creative input and I hope you have a nice weekend. Jared Preston (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I will keep it in mind. The red links were driving me crazy. At least Šramková reached a $50k final Rubyaxles (talk) 17:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Rebecca Šramková

The article Rebecca Šramková has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Player does not meet tennis notability guidelines: No wta main draw or fed cup appearances, $50k wins or notable junior career.

While all constructive 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.

Nomination of Rebecca Šramková for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rebecca Šramková is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rebecca Šramková until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fazzo29 (talk) 02:00, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objections to the deletion; I don't know why I am being notified again. Rubyaxles (talk) 02:02, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, it's just that someone removed my original proposal using WP:PROD. So even though they gave no reason I'm not allowed to re-propose it using that method and can now only propose it for deletion using articles for deletion. During me doing that it notified you by default. You are welcome to delete this notification if you want. Fazzo29 (talk) 02:20, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide edit summaries at least for more complex edits

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! —J. M. (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Main page Grand Slam tables

If you are going to transclude info from another table you must maintain project guidelines for the table removed. If it is a Grand Slam tournament only table (as main page articles usually are) then remove the "Grand Slam tournaments" header. And they are only current per the last Grand Slam tournament, not the last tournament on the calendar. Please discuss before re-adding. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:46, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fyunck(click): I can remove the "current through <tournament>" part from the transcluded section. Is it really necessary to remove the "Grand Slam tournaments header"? Rubyaxles (talk) 00:20, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fyunck(click): Check the Bianca Andreescu article now; is that what you had in mind? Rubyaxles (talk) 00:24, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rubyaxles: It is what I had in mind. But there can be other problems. "Current through..." will be different on both charts. Because of what's included in the full career chart, there is often a font size difference from the small Grand Slam chart. There are also a couple different Grand Slam-like charts where it is more difficult to add or change things if the only chart in on the career article. Then you have the fact that editors more readily update the small Grand Slam chart because it's on the main page and during the big four events. Not having the chart on the main page precludes good people from updating the Grand Slam tournament info. These are some of the reasons Tennis Project did not do what you did. It should certainly be discussed on the Project talk page if edits are going to affect thousands of articles. And yes there is no need to include Grand Slam tournaments in a header when the main header already says it's for Grand Slam tournaments. Fyunck(click) (talk) 04:00, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fyunck(click): I see. Those are good points. It's just the redundant data bothers me a little. I suppose with enough begin and end tags interwoven in the tables they can be made exactly the way they need to be, but this obviously adds a lot of complexity and hurts its readability. Hmmm. I wish there were a better way Rubyaxles (talk) 05:09, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And your combining the data makes sense also. Why do it twice when you might only need to do it once. It's a complex issue and there are good points on all sides. I think we simply couldn't come to an agreement last time it was fully discussed at Tennis Project and decided to leave things as they were. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:48, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to chime in, but I noticed this being done as well as I've been renovating a lot of these timelines. I agree with Fyunck here, please don't transclude them en masse without community discussion. The difficulty is that transcludes are fragile–you might get things all perfect with a complex interwoven transclude, and then someone changes the table to add a new row, or inadvertently deletes a section tag, and it messes everything up without anyone noticing, and is difficult to diagnose/fix for the average editor who knows nothing about transcludes. In an ideal world we'd have all the data in Wikidata, and the tables would be auto-generated with a query, but alas we're stuck doing everything by hand. —Somnifuguist (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Mallorca Championships – Doubles moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2021 Mallorca Championships – Doubles, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
