About Draft:Alimat Abiola

Hello all,

This draft is currently (about 10 am UTC 18 Mar 2024) tagged for speedy speedy deletion.

As you can see, the draft's only references are from EuroBasket statistics.

It would appear from this and this that she may have played College Basketball for the - "(EX Arkanases, USA)", in that "leadership.ng" mention but presumably Arkansas Razorbacks women's basketball, and may well have been picked as a participant in the Nigeria women's national basketball team in "call-up list of players" (sports247.ng mention) for preliminary matches leading up to Women's basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

I would appreciate your opinions and assistance with this.

I've cleaned it up and it is no longer tagged for speedy speedy deletion. It does however need significant coverage to be moved back to mainspace. She seems to come from England and attended three colleges in the United States where she played college basketball. I only did a brief search for sources but didn't come up with anything that was both independent of the subject and significant. Alvaldi (talk) 11:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Referees" or "Officials" in Template:Basketballbox?

There is a discussion relevant to this project at Template talk:Basketballbox, requesting that the word "referees" be replaced by "officials". Please contribute there if you have a comment. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Professional chronology in articles

I am participating in the WP:CUP. I am trying to score a lot of points at WP:GA. User:AirshipJungleman29 reviewed my Talk:Jordan Murphy (basketball)/GA1 nomination and I am now having second thoughts on my response. It is commonly accepted to have a new subsection for each new team affiliation in a bio. Typically, in these subsections we merely note when a player signed with a team, was traded or left a team. He asked me to try to avoid sequential stubby paragraphs and I merged a bunch of minimal paragraphs. Should I be doing this. Is it O.K. to have limited transaction announcement style paragraphs?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

People do it, but it's poor form for GA. Per MOS:OVERSECTION:

Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings.

Sydney Johnson USA Basketball role

I am having a bit of trouble understanding which role Sydney Johnson had for USA Basketball that is described as "a team scout for the USA Basketball February 2020 FIBA AmeriCup Qualifying Team." I see 2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualification and {{FIBA AmeriCup}} does not include a 2020 team.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualification spanned from 2018 until 2021, with the USA playing between Feb 2020 and Feb 2021. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

photo evaluation on Victor Hampton (American football)

cross-posted from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject American football § photo evaluation on Victor Hampton (American football)

The person pictured on Victor Hampton (American football) is playing basketball, but there's no mention of any basketball career. While the Flickr page says it's Victor Hampton and it's a Gamecocks account (and he played for the South Carolina Gamecocks football team), I wonder if there is any chance it's the wrong guy.

Would someone with more sports knowledge help out here? = paul2520 💬 19:52, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
