Gidday, I see you're doing great stuff with New Zealand soccer-related articles. Please put a category on articles when you create them, so someone can quickly find all the articles which are related. For most of the articles you are creating, the categories Category:New Zealand soccer, Category:New Zealand soccer players or Category:New Zealand football clubs would appear to be relevant. Also, if you write about a football club or event in a specific city, please add the category for that city, e.g. Category:Auckland. We may later need to make a subcategory of Category:Sport in Auckland if the main category gets too crowded. I've categorised the articles you're created so far.-gadfium 20:21, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A few articles you might to look at
Hi Nzfooty! I've just added a handful of articles on some of NZ's players in the 1982 World Cup in Spain. Thought you might like to look over Steve Sumner, Brian Turner (footballer), Steve Wooddin, Frank van Hattum and Richard Wilson (footballer), see if you can add anything (they're pretty stubby at the moment). I'm hoping to add a few more shortly if I get time. Grutness...wha? 10:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive
Hi Nzfooty,
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football is starting a football Article Improvement Drive. This is a weekly collaboration to improve football (soccer) articles to featured article status. Articles to be improved can be nominated by registered users, with an explanation of what work is needed. Each Sunday, the article with the most support votes is chosen and then worked on to make it better than what it is. You're invited to take part in the drive, and also join the WikiProject Football. Thanks. -Aabha (talk) 11:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
I've deleted several articles which I've tagged "substub with no indication of importance of the team -" or similar. The lack of context is such that there is no indication what level these teams are, whether professsional league clubs or Sunday morning kick-arounds. I'll stop deleting for the time being to give you a chance to fix, thanks, jimfbleak 07:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not querying your intentions - perhaps if you just added the league the teams play in, that would help, otherwise I think it's inevitable that someone will delete these stubs in the absence of a context. Incidentally, you can sign comments on talk pages using four tildes ~~~~ -the softwar will convert this to a name and time like this; jimfbleak 07:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:New articles (New Zealand)
Hi, you might wish to list new articles you add to this page, several NZers watch it and will often take a look and improve articles as they are added. Also I'm not sure if your articles on individual All whites matches will survive a RFD but you could include a ref to NZ matches in articles like 2006 in New Zealand . I was considering going back through the All Blacks site at one point and including details of every tour in these articles but if you have a good set of info on NZ soccer matches that would be great to add as well. - SimonLyall 09:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I’m not sure what I was thinking when I started the individual pages. If they need to be deleted or incorporated into another page, so be it. I realized recently that I won’t have time to do lots of things I wanted to get done due to RL commitments. Nzfooty 11:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Boyens
Andrew Boyens has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Steve Yarbrough (wrestling)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Steve Yarbrough (wrestling), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. 172.149.114.125 21:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cashmere Wanderers
A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Cashmere Wanderers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.145.161.43 17:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
