উইকিপিডিয়া:উল্লেখযোগ্যতা (ক্রীড়া)

এই নির্দেশিকাটি একজন ক্রীড়া ব্যক্তি বা ক্রীড়া লীগ/সংস্থা (অপেশাদার বা পেশাদার) সাধারণ উল্লেখযোগ্যতার নির্দেশিকা পূরণ করতে পারে কিনা তা মূল্যায়ন করতে সাহায্য করার জন্য ব্যবহার করা হয় এবং এর মাধ্যমে উইকিপিডিয়ায় জন্য একটি নিবন্ধ যোগ্যতা অর্জন করে। The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below.

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 (e.g. the general notability guideline, or other, topic-specific, notability guidelines).

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 policies and guidelines such as Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Applicable policies and guidelines

সম্পাদনা

All information included in Wikipedia, including articles about sports, must be verifiable. In addition, the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline. The guideline on this page 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.

Subjects that do not meet the sport-specific criteria outlined in this guideline may still be notable if they meet the General Notability Guideline or another subject specific notability guideline.

Any athletic entertainment event where the results are at least partially predetermined or scripted is not covered by this page. For participants in such events (e.g. Professional wrestling), see WP:ENTERTAINER. At this time there is no consensus that Electronic sports participants are covered by the criteria of this guideline.[]

মৌলিক মানদণ্ড

সম্পাদনা

A person is presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published[] non-trivial[] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent,[] and independent of the subject.[] The guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics).

  • 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 Sports Reference's college football and basketball databases.
  • 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 reports beyond routine game coverage. Listings of statistics must clearly satisfy the requirement for significant coverage.

  1. Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in any Tier 1 International Match, as defined by FIFA,[] in a competitive senior international match at confederation level regardless of whether or not the teams are members of FIFA, or the Olympic Games. The notability of these is accepted as they would have received significant coverage as outlined above in the general notability criteria.
  2. Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable. See a list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football.

  9. Have a non-relay mark listed on the IAAF senior all-time list or equivalent list
  10. Have been inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame or the Road Runners Club of America Hall of Fame.

To non-athletes associated with the sport (or athletes whose main claim to notability is non-athletic activity) the following criteria of notability apply:

  1. Coaches who 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.
  2. Coaches who have been the official head coach of an Olympic track and field team for a country with multiple medalists.
  3. Coaches who introduced a notable technique or training method, and is widely credited as the originator.
  4. Clubs that have received 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.
*The notability of a road race is determined by meeting any one of the following criteria
  1. It has an international elite (as defined by the IAAF standards for that year) field of at least 5 different nationalities.
  2. 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).
  3. It is a directly competitive meeting between several notable performers (at least 5).

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

  1. It has been the site of exceptional performances or records (bests).
  2. It regularly has more than 5,000 competitors.
  3. It has been held over a unique course or distance consistently over a period of 25 years.

  2. Have appeared in at least one game in any one of the following active major leagues: Major League Baseball, Nippon Professional Baseball, KBO League, or have participated in a major international competition (such as the World Baseball Classic, Baseball World Cup or Olympics) as a member of a national team.

  4. Have served as a commissioner, president, general manager, owner, coach, or manager in one of the above-mentioned leagues.
  5. Have served as a Major League Baseball umpire on a regular league staff.

Players and other figures who do not meet the criteria above are not presumed to meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. To establish that one of these is notable, the article must cite published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. Fan sites and blogs are generally not regarded as reliable sources, and team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject. Although statistics sites may be reliable sources, they are not sufficient by themselves to establish notability.[]

Some active minor league players receive some coverage from reliable sources, but not enough to satisfy the notability criteria for an independent article. In these cases, it may be appropriate to write a short, stub-length bio as a section within the article on the franchise's minor league players (for example, Minnesota Twins minor league players). Please note that such mini-bios should cite reliable sources and conform with Wikipedia policies such as WP:BLP.

Figure skaters competing at the highest level of international competition are not "professional" skaters, but they are also not amateurs since they do receive money. They are called eligible skaters but have been put in the professional sports category for convenience.

Figure skating figures are presumed notable if they
  1. Have competed at an Olympics or at an ISU senior World Figure Skating Championships (Competing in a world championship qualifying round does not guarantee notability.)
  2. Have competed in the free skate at the following ISU Championships: World Junior Figure Skating Championships, European Figure Skating Championships, Four Continents Figure Skating Championships
  3. Won their country's senior national championships, with the exception of those countries that do not regularly send multiple skaters to the Olympic Games (consult this Olympic athlete tally to check whether the country qualifies).

Notable examples of senior Bs are the Nebelhorn Trophy, the Karl Schäfer Memorial and the Golden Spin of Zagreb.)

Notability for persons associated with skating who were not notable as eligible skaters:

  1. A coach or choreographer who has worked with many notable skaters, including at least one Olympic medalist or senior World Champion (e.g. Pam Gregory, and David Wilson)

Not all participants in horse racing are athletic "professionals", particularly owners and breeders, but due to purse money and profit motive throughout the sport they are put in the professional sports category for convenience.

Horse racing figures, including horses and/or their human "connections" (horse trainers, jockeys or horse owners and horse breeders) are presumed to most likely meet WP:GNG for notability if they have accomplished any of the following:

  1. Individuals who win a Grade I/Group I stakes race or the equivalent level in their respective nations. (Horses, due to their relatively short careers, at least once; humans best to have done so more than once)
  2. Individuals who have won multiple significant Grade/Group 2 or 3 graded stakes races or the equivalent level in their respective nations.
  3. Individuals who have won year-end championship titles, such as an Eclipse Award.
  4. Members of a national Racing Hall of Fame.

Notability for horses or persons associated with horse racing who were not competitors or do not meet the criteria above may be presumed notable if they meet GNG for any of the following:

  1. Individual humans who were significant for new advancements or trailblazing achievements. (examples: Andrew Beyer, Florence Nagle, Diane Crump)
  2. Horses that may not have raced to any significant degree (usually due to injury), but had multiple significant progeny, such as Tapit.
  3. Horses who are ranked the leading sire or broodmare for a given year in their respective nations (again, see Tapit)
  4. Breeding farms or farm owners that do not race many horses themselves, but have produced or currently stand horses who became notable winners. (i.e. Adena Springs)
  5. Agents, race track announcers (i.e. Larry Collmus), racing journalists (i.e. Steve Haskin), venue owners (i.e. Frank Stronach) and other business professionals with a significant connection to horse racing.
  6. Horses and individuals involved in highly publicized thefts or other crimes, e.g. Shergar, scandals or other nefarious activities, such as substitution scams, e.g. Fine Cotton.
  7. An individual person with a connection to a notable horse is not inherently notable for that reason only, see WP:BIO1E, though if the individual's role is a large one, a significant connection to a single notable horse might justify a spinoff article (i.e. Eddie Sweat, groom of Secretariat). Conversely, a horse is not presumed notable just because the owner is famous – of Jim Rome's racehorses, Shared Belief is notable, Gallatin's Run is probably not.

A rugby union person is presumed notable if they have played for, coached or administered:

  1. A "High Performance Union" at any time(see Note 1) or another test nation during an appearance at the men's Rugby World Cup(see Note 2) or,

  3. A team in the Rugby World Cup Sevens, World Rugby Sevens Series, Commonwealth Games, Olympics, or
  4. A women's national team in at least the semi-finals of the Women's Rugby World Cup.(see Note 3)

Note 1: "High Performance Unions" for men are: টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, টেমপ্লেট:Nrut, and টেমপ্লেট:Nrut.[] Women do not have this criterion.

The above parameters apply to all rugby union persons regardless of professional or amateur status. A player who signs for a team in a fully professional rugby competition 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.

Sumo wrestlers are presumed notable if they have been ranked in either the top (makuuchi) division or second highest (juryo) division. Wrestlers who have only appeared in lower divisions are generally not notable as they have not reached fully professional status.

Tennis figures are presumed to be notable if they
  1. Are a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, either in the contributor or player category
  2. Have competed in one of the international team competitions: Fed Cup, Davis Cup, Hopman Cup or World Team Cup.
  3. Have competed in the main draw in one of the highest level professional tournaments:
  4. Have won at least one title in any of the ATP Challenger tournaments.
  5. Have won at least one title in any of the ITF Women's $50,000–$100,000+ tournaments, or any of the WTA 125K tournaments. Until 2007, the notability threshold shall be winning a $25,000 tournament based on the lowest payout for a men's challenger tournament in the same year.
  6. Hold a tennis record recognized by the International Tennis Federation, ATP or WTA.

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 ITF world rankings or can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG.

This guideline applies equally to singles and doubles players.

More detailed tennis notability information can be found at WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines.

Triathletes are presumed notable if they
  1. Have competed in Triathlon at the Summer Olympics or have had a podium finish at the Commonwealth Games.
  2. Have had a top ten finish in the final ITU World Triathlon Series standings (or in the final ITU Triathlon World Cup standings, prior to 2009).
  3. Have had a top ten finish in an International Triathlon Union sanctioned championship event.
  4. Have an elite level podium finish at an ITU Continental Championship.
  5. Have had a professional division top ten finish at the Ironman World Championship or at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship.

  8. Have set a record for a standard distance event or leg.

Amateur sports persons

সম্পাদনা

College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics, mentions in game summaries, or other WP:ROUTINE coverage. Examples would include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who:

  1. Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major NCAA Division I record.
  2. Were inducted into the hall of fame in their sport (for example, the College Football Hall of Fame).
  3. Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. Very rarely, a player may gain national media attention despite not being on a notable team, such as Lauren Hill.
  4. Have won multiple NCAA Division I national championships as an individual in an individual sport.

Players of Gaelic games are presumed notable if they fulfill any of the following criteria:

  1. Gaelic footballers who have played at senior inter-county level in the League or Championship
  2. Gaelic handballers who have won at senior inter-county level
  3. Hurlers who have played at senior inter-county level in the League or Championship

High school and pre-high school athletes

সম্পাদনা

High school and pre-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. The first clause excludes all school papers and school websites that cover their sports teams and other teams they compete against. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability.

Organizations and games notability

সম্পাদনা

This guideline does not provide any general criteria for the presumed notability of sports teams and clubs. Some sports have specific criteria. Otherwise, teams and clubs are expected to demonstrate notability by the general notability guideline.

Since notability is not inherited, the notability of an athlete does not imply the notability of a team or club, or vice versa.

Olympic and Paralympic Games

সম্পাদনা

For details on suggested content for the above article types see Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/Manual of Style.

Individual seasons

সম্পাদনা

Articles can be created on individual seasons of teams in top professional leagues, as these articles almost always meet the notability requirements.

Team season articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players. Wikipedia is not a stats directory. It is strongly recommended that those articles be redirected to the team page if no sourced prose can be created.

For college sports teams, weigh both the season itself and the sport (for example, if a US college or university's football and fencing teams enjoy the same level of success, the football team is likely to receive a significantly greater amount of coverage):

  • A national championship season at the top collegiate level is generally notable.
  • A national championship season at a lower collegiate level might be notable
  • A season including a post-season appearance (or, if there is no post-season competition, a high final ranking) in the top collegiate level is often notable.
  • For programs considered elite in a sport (e.g. Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, in men's basketball; Tennessee and UConn in women's basketball; Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC in football, etc.) many or all seasons might be notable regardless of the outcome (the amount written by reliable sources on a weekly basis for some of these programs is enough that almost anything or anyone having any relation to them is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline).
  • In cases where the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article. This grouping might be based on head coaches, conference affiliation, or any other reasonable standard that results in sufficient coverage for the period to warrant an article.

Individual games or series

সম্পাদনা

Some games or series are inherently notable, including but not limited to the following:

Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats. Regular season games in professional and college leagues are not inherently notable.

For a games or series that is already covered as a subtopic in another article, consider developing the topic in the existing article first until it becomes clearer that a standalone article is warranted. Although a game or series may be notable, it may sometimes be better to present the topic in an existing article on a broader topic instead of creating a new standalone page.

Sports rivalries are not inherently notable. Articles on sports rivalries, such as Yankees–Red Sox rivalry, should satisfy the general notability guideline.

The following are some potential places to look for sources to establish sports notability:

  • Chronicling America Library of Congress, historic newspapers from 1836–1922 (free)
  • Google news search (mostly free)
  • LA84 Foundation Digital archive of the LA84 Foundation research library; digitized books, periodicals, and magazines on sports (free)
  • Newspaper archive Digitized newspapers, broad coverage (free search, paid access)
  • NewsLibrary Digitized newspapers, broad coverage (free search, paid access)
  • Newspapers.com Digitized newspapers, broad coverage (free search, paid access)

  2. What constitutes a "published work" is deliberately broad.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
