Hey, why did you revert my changes? First, the infobox is up to date per fih document. Second, there is no need for the english flags at an english article. Kante4 (talk) 09:28, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any answer? Wikipedia:Communication is required... Kante4 (talk) 11:39, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You should is use more often, but that's another area. But this is the article about the English team, so the english flags are not needed, as everyone knows they are english (right now). I will reinstate the stuff i changed (despite the flags as this discussion is still going). Kante4 (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Duncan Scott (field hockey). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. CUPIDICAE💕 15:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry if I have not done things correctly, probably not a good excuse after all this time as a contributor to English hockey pages, but I do not know the procedures for deletions. I am not sure why Duncan Scott (field hockey) is being selected for possible deletion. All of the li9nks, to the FIH, England Hockey & BBC show this is a valid page. Sorry, I do not have lots of time to learn the procedures, etc of wikipedia. I have always understood it to be a free source of information. Unfortunately, England Hockey are not good with the information they provide for our wonderful minority sport of field hockey. Please forgive my ignorance. I simply try to give accurate information for anyone interested in the England & GB Mens & Womens hockey teams and the clubs in the Premier Leagues. It was very annoying when I created Old Georgians Hockey Club a few years back and Wikipedia "gurus" deleted it! They are now the leading men's team in England! As websites, including wikipedia, become less interesting and less viewed by younger people I do wonder if it is worth me spending time updating the pages. There are other contributors from Europe who basically take all the information from the FIH website & copy it into wikepedia. It is not as concise as the information which I have access to, and the contacts which I have in England, with regard to players and clubs. Thanks. DJCOTTS (talk) 16:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The basic notability guidelines for biographies (

WP:BIO) says that people are presumed notable "if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." This is what all biographies must abide by or they run the risk of being deleted. While unfortunate, I imagine that many international field hockey players, though important to the sport, do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Thank you for your contributions; your passion for the sport does not go unnoticed. JTtheOG (talk) 02:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply

A tag has been placed on Duncan Scott (field hockey) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 "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 deleted 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.
