From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Harpreet Singh(carrom player) & Amarpreet

THe above said article is about the champ of punjab state carrom association. It was deleted as i copied the same material to another article named amarpreet singh johal as he is also sub junior champ and champ of punjab state. Punjab state carrom association is a sports association of State Punjab it's not a small state. It comes under all india carrom federation and i also have created an article for it buit its under construction. I dont know wat happen suddenly o wikipedia team. I also have create dmany artcils about other carrom players from the state punjab. You have deleted every one saying it notable. But Harpreet Singh and Amarpreet articles are not notable ones they include acheivements. Punjab State Carrom Association is a website and that artcle called punjab state carrom association was ceated by webmaster my freind Harpreet. he is webmasetr of that site which give me previleges to drop articles from his site. If you want written permission from him then i will tell him to do that.

You can also see that the guys who have edited the punjab state carrom association page used "[[]]" sign in every name tahts why i have create dthe articles. Well i am a bit confused man. I want u to tell me if someone have changed my pages. Enjoy life Rabb Rakha.......user:hpt_lucky

I think you are confusing "notable" and "not notable"; "notable" means the article stays, "not notable" means it is deleted. I am not picking on your English, just trying to ensure that you understand the terms of the AfD debate, since otherwise it might be confusing. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 21:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notables

It should be noted (no pun intended) that some carrom players are notable, because carrom, like chess and nine-ball, is the subject of international professional competition (i.e., it is a notable sport under some definitions of "sport"). I agree with the conclusions of this AfD that these particular carrom player articles were non-notable in Wikipedian terms, but World Carrom Champions certainly are notable, and an argument can be made that All-India Carrom Champions are also, for the same reason that NFL teams or US billiards champions are notable; if its at the national level (and, perhaps, if the nation is not of trivial size, such as the Kingdom of Tonga), then sports figures are presumptively notable. The gist being, this AfD is not a precedent for deleting any and all carrom player bios; they must be individually evaluated for notability on their own merits. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 21:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
