Duhan van der Merwe[edit]

Some recent edits at the above are junk and I semi-protected the article for a week to reduce the excitement. However I'm not sure how much should be reverted and I'm hoping someone here can fix. Thanks! Johnuniq (talk) 22:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he most certainly doesn't weigh 100 tons :-p Primefac (talk) 10:40, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing images[edit]

It was brought to my attention that there may be a large number of rugby players that do not have images in their infobox, are not tagged (on the talk page) with |needs-infobox=yes, yet there does exist an image (e.g. Aaron Mauger and File:Aaron Mauger 2023.png). If I set up some sort of tracking category to indicate these "articles with image but missing an image" would folks be willing to help out and depopulate the cat? Primefac (talk) 20:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if there is a tracking category I can help get through a few. Skeene88 (talk) 19:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tracking category set up at Category:Pages calling infobox rugby biography with available image (0). It might take some time to populate though. Primefac (talk) 14:17, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wales WRU board[edit]

After looking at the article Wales Rugby Union, I felt it needed some updating in comparison to other articles. Not every rugby nation has a specific executive article, in fact, upon inspection, only Wales, New Zealand Rugby, and Rugby Australia have articles specific for management and executive personnel, and Wales seems to be the only nation with a President list, albeit unsourced. I wanted to look into improving Wales' WRU article with relevance to updating the content and rewriting the article to bring it to a higher standard. Any suggestions or ideas on how or if this should be done? Cltjames (talk) 13:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Hardwick[edit]

I believe I correctly addressed some old unsourced edits, but this article would benefit from a review by a subject matter expert. 76.14.122.5 (talk) 02:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Player deletions[edit]

JTtheOG has been consistently proposing deletion of about a half dozen rugby biographies per day over the past weeks. Many of these are well-developed articles but in most cases don't appear to demonstrate the significant coverage in independent sources that demonstrates notability. Anyone interested in monitoring this activity can do so here. ~Kvng (talk) 20:25, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extra eyes are always good, but deprodding vindictively is just as disruptive as careless PRODding. That being said, based on how many did get deleted I don't think they are all that far off the mark (i.e. it's not careless). Primefac (talk) 10:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed and I have tried to be careful about deprodding but I don't know anything about rugby so I'm looking for some help with review from people here who do. ~Kvng (talk) 13:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please feel free to deprod if you find anything approaching WP:SIGCOV for these articles (or for any other reason). I always appreciate the extra eyes. I try to PROD only in the most obvious cases; otherwise, I take it to AfD. JTtheOG (talk) 17:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW I've had no issue with the majority of articles PRODed or at AFD. I'd prefer if it was only 4 or 5 articles a day though as it allows more time to research sourcing thoroughly. When there's 8/10 articles a day to look through both PRODed and AfD my searching basically consists of a simple google search. I'd like to be able to research some of them more thoroughly but don't feel able to with the current number daily. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My WP:PRODPATROL gets pretty cursory when there are more than 20 total proposals per day. ~Kvng (talk) 20:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
