この文書の要旨: An athlete is presumed notable if the person has actively participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics, and has received significant coverage in reliablesecondary sources that are independent of the subject.
This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson, sports league, or an amateur/professional sports league organization will meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia. The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the criteria. It is not enough to make vague claims about the person's importance—the sourcing in the article itself must document notability.
If the article does meet the criteria set forth below, then it is likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways.
Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion, along with relevant guidelines such as Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
Applicable policies and guidelines
All information included in Wikipedia, including articles about sports, must be verifiable. In addition, standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline. This guideline provides bright-line guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline. Information about living persons must meet the more stringent requirements for those types of articles.
A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published[1] non-trivial[2]secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent,[3] and independent of the subject.[4]
Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may be used to support content in an article, but it is not sufficient to establish notability. This includes listings in database sources with low, wide-sweeping generic standards of inclusion, such as the College Football Data Warehouse.
Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
Some sources must be used with particular care when establishing notability, and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Local sources must be clearly independent of the subject, and must provide a level of coverage beyond WP:ROUTINE. Listings of statistics must clearly satisfy the requirement for significant coverage.
Association football (soccer) figures are presumed notable if they meet the following:
Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition (including the Olympics) are notable as they have achieved the status of participating at the highest level of football. The notability of these is accepted as they would have received significant coverage as outlined above in the general notability criteria.
Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, at least twice in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable.
Note: A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable. Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG.
陸上競技
Athletes who compete in the field of Athletics are deemed notable if they meet any of the criteria below:
Finished top 8 in a competition at the highest level outside of the Olympic games and world championships. Individual events in these championships must contain either several heats or extended fields (e.g. European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games, or any of the 5 World Major Marathons).
Finished top 3 in any other major senior level international competition (this includes prestigious small field meets, e.g. IAAF Diamond League/IAAF Golden League meets, less prestigious large scale meets, e.g Asian Games, and any IAAF Gold Label Road Race that is not explicitly mentioned above)
Has won their country's senior national championship, with the exception of those that have never been ranked in top 40 on the IAAF world leading list at the end of a given calendar year
Has won the elite division of multiple notable* road races (including the same race multiple times) or has established a history of highly competitive, non-winning performances in many notable races (at least 10 top threes)
Has at any time held a world or continental record (including world junior records, world youth bests and masters age-group world records) ratified or noted by the appropriate official body
Owns a mark that placed the athlete in the top 12 in the world for that calendar year in a non-relay event contested or admitted to the senior IAAF World Championships or Olympics, or an equivalent performance over a closely matching imperial distance
Has a non-relay mark listed on the IAAF senior all-time list or equivalent list
To non-athletes associated with the sport (or athletes whose main claim to notability is non-athletic activity) the following criteria of notability apply:
Coaches are also assumed notable if they have coached many notable athletes, including at least one (non-relay) Olympic medalist, World champion or senior World Record holder during the time of the athletes' notable accomplishments.
A coach is also notable if he/she introduces a notable technique or training method, and is widely credited as the originator.
A club is notable if it receives major international coverage for its successes and has a résumé composed of many successful Olympians over a long period of time (e.g. Irish American Athletic Club). If a club's success is mainly due to one coach, then only the coach is notable.
*Many notable Road Racing events might not be officially sanctioned by the IAAF, its national affiliates or other sanctioning bodies. Hence the notability of a road race is determined by meeting any one of the following criteria:
It has an international elite (as defined by the IAAF standards for that year) field of at least 5 different nationalities.
It receives broadcast or cable television coverage beyond the local market (if coverage is through the internet, the site must be independent of the sport, for example Universal Sports).
It is a directly competitive meeting between several notable performers (at least 5).
It awards prize money in excess of $5,000 to the winner.
The following criteria may also be used to satisfy road race notability, but does not count towards the notability of athletes who compete in these races
It has been the site of exceptional performances or records (bests).
It regularly has over 5,000 competitors,
It has been held over a unique course or distance consistently over a period of 25 years.
Australian Rules Football
Athletes who compete in Australian rules football are presumed notable if they meet any of the criteria below:
A cricket figure is presumed notable if he or she:
Has appeared in at least one Test, ODI, ICC Trophy match from 2005, or ICC Trophy final prior to 2005 as player, umpire, coach or administrator; or
Has appeared in at least one major (i.e., first-class or List A) match as a player.
The term "first-class cricket" can be misleading since, officially, it did not begin until 1947 and should not be applied retrospectively according to the MCC definition. Whereas in practice the term is loosely applied to major matches since the 17th century, it is better to think of major cricket as an all-embracing term that includes ListA as well as first-class. Hence, a player who represented Kent in the county match in 1709 is equally notable with a player who represented Kent CCC in the Twenty20 Cup in 2007.
In addition, non-players who have made a notable contribution to cricket should have pages. These include benefactors, administrators, umpires, coaches, writers, broadcasters, historians and so on. With these, it is important to ensure that the article's content outlines the person's notability in terms of his or her contribution to the sport. There is bound to be a more subjective view of such contributions whereas an appearance in a first-class match enables a purely objective view to be taken. Note especially that the person must have earned notability in their own right; they are not notable if they are a member of a club.
Played one or more games in an amateur league considered, through lack of a professional league, the highest level of competition extant, such as the 19th century Amateur Hockey Association or the Soviet League;
Achieved preeminent honours (all-time top ten career scorer, won a major award given by the league, first team all-star, All-American) in a lower minor league such as the Central Hockey League or the United Hockey League, in a major junior league such as the Ontario Hockey Association or the Western Hockey League or in a major collegiate hockey league (Note: merely playing in a major junior league or major collegiate hockey is not enough to satisfy inclusion requirements);
Played on a senior national team (such as at the Olympic Games or World Championship); or
Are an honoured member of a national or multi-national Hall of Fame.
モータースポーツ
Motorsport figures are presumed notable if they:
1. Have driven in a fully professional series. A fully professional series is one where prize money is not trivial compared to the cost of the series. For example, the SCCA Trans-Am Series is considered professional while the SCCA Spec Miata National Championship would not be.
2. For drivers that predate the sharp distinction between professional and amateur (prior to World War II), drivers who competed in a series or race of worldwide or national interest (for example, the American Championship or 24 Hours of Le Mans).
3. Have owned or been team principal for a team in a major racing series (NASCAR Sprint Cup, Formula One, IndyCar, A1GP, CART, IMSA) for a full season or more. This includes Sprint Cup crew chiefs.
4. Have been enshrined in any notable motorsports hall of fame.
5. Founded, owned, or managed any notable professional racing series.
6. Designers or engineers who have been covered extensively by the media or motorsports historians.
7. Hold or have held a significant motorsports record, such as a land speed record.
A player of rugby league football is presumed notable if they have played first grade rugby league (depending on the country).
Other personalities surrounding the game are notable if they are:
a consistent first grade rugby league commentator.
a referee who has refereed at least 100 games.
Rugby union
A rugby union person is presumed notable if they:
have appeared in at least one test match, sevens competition, or fully professional domestic rugby competition, as player, umpire, coach or administrator.
have appeared in at least one first class rugby union match.
Players from the early days of rugby cannot meet these criteria, as they pre-date the era of first-class rugby, and must therefore pass WP:GNG.
This guideline applies equally to singles and doubles players. Junior players are presumed to be notable if they have won at least a junior Grand slam title, have been in the top 3 of the junior ITFworld rankings or can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG.
College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics. Examples would include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who:
High school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites along with most sport specific publications. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage, especially game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews.
（ここはどう訳すべきかわからないので保留、データベースサイト、高校サイトなどを除く信頼できる情報源が必要、カレッジスポーツに準じた扱いだと思いますが。5打席連続で敬遠される前の松井秀喜などが特筆性があると言えるかどうか。大会を盛り上げるためにテレビ局などマスコミが取り上げるケースは多いので注意が必要。基本的には各競技での特筆性に判断を委ねるのが適当と思われます。ナイキ・フープサミット、マクドナルド・オールアメリカンゲーム（英語版）出場であれば特筆性ありと言えるでしょう。）
^What constitutes a "published work" is deliberately broad.
^Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing that does not discuss the subject in detail. A credible 200-page independent biography of a person that covers that person's life in detail is non-trivial, whereas a birth certificate or a 1-line listing on an election ballot form is not. Database sources such as Notable Names Database, Internet Movie Database and Internet Adult Film Database are not considered credible since they are, like wikis, mass-edited with little oversight. Additionally, these databases have low, wide-sweeping generic standards of inclusion.
^Sources that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. "Intellectual independence" requires not only that the content of sources be non-identical, but also that the entirety of content in a published work not be derived from (or based in) another work (partial derivations are acceptable). For example, a speech by a politician about a particular person contributes toward establishing the notability of that person, but multiple reproductions of the transcript of that speech by different news outlets do not. A biography written about a person contributes toward establishing his or her notability, but a summary of that biography lacking an original intellectual contribution does not.
^Autobiography and self-promotion are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the subject notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. Thus, entries in biographical dictionaries that accept self-nominations (such as the Marquis Who's Who) do not prove notability.
