Almost identical to Draft:Thomas Petrovski which was declined due to a lack of sources. Creator has a clear COI, since they also created Paul Petrovski, and they appear to have a particular interest in people with this surname. CycloneYoris ^talk! 21:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Football, North Macedonia, and Australia. CycloneYoris ^talk! 21:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - promo article, atrociously sourced, COI issues. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 22:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - can you please provide further details regarding it being atrociously sourced’? Tp767 (talk) 00:08, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Directory listings or other primary sources, don't help show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 02:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CycloneYoris - I have added sources in the Reference Tab. Is this not sufficient enough? They are from official sporting organisations. Tp767 (talk) 00:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For a BLP article especially, the subject must be covered in-depth by multiple in-depth secondary, independent, reliable sources. See WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:N for more information. The editing must also be done by neutral editors with no connection to the subject. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - several sections completely unreferenced and fails WP:SPORTBASIC. Footballer is a semi-pro. Every single reference provided thus far is a database source like Transfermarkt, Sofascore, Flashscore and Tuttocampo with zero prose coverage. I was unable to find any news articles on Thomas Petrovski in a WP:BEFORE search. The article is filled with WP:OR from top to bottom and the creator has failed to respond to requests to disclose WP:UPE and/or WP:COI. Strong delete.

Hi - I've just added additional sources to justify the pending requests. They're primary sources that give a definitive response to my profile - player and character. Could you please confirm if this is sufficient enough and if not give me a better answer then 'denied' Tp767 (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please read Wikipedia's policies including WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:N. These sources do not establish notability of the subject. Also read WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI as well. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 04:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is very important - if you are Thomas Petrovski or are a close associate of his, please declare your conflict of interest and refrain from doing any direct edits to this article. You may suggest edit requests through the talk page or perform an uncontroversial edit per WP:COI. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 04:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also see WP:BLPSELFPUB - an article should NOT be based primarily on self-published sources like your own website, Transfermarkt, FlashScore etc. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No sourcing found in Google or Gnews, what's now in the article is only directory listings or primary sources. Non-notable player. Oaktree b (talk) 02:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 10:28, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Great looking photo, but still fails in GNG, SIGCOV, and SPORTBASIC. CNC (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't normally wade into sports-related discussions, but the argument that the creator didn't even know we had rules is untenable. In 2025, everyone knows that Wikipedia had a problem with poor quality, autobiographies, and hoaxes that caused us to create a bunch of rules, policies, and guidelines.
