''Proposed format of the Sports Cleanup Contest''<br>
[[File:Goldenwiki 2.png|thumb|right|The Golden Wiki Award, the top prize in the competition]]
Hello, and welcome to the '''Sports Cleanup Contest'''! This is a two-month backlog drive from June to July 2025 dedicated towards the improvement of poor-quality sports biography articles. The main tasks are expanding stub-class biographical articles and providing [[WP:SIGCOV|significant coverage]]{{efn|Due to [[WP:NSPORT]]'s requirement at [[WP:SPORTCRIT]] to provide significant coverage for all sports biography articles.}} for the [[WP:NOTABLE|notable]] topics. Barnstars and other awards will be given out.

The judges will be {{user4|BeanieFan11}} and [name]. Feel free to reach out to them or on the talk page if you have any questions.

[[File:SportBarnstarimage.jpg|50px]] The participant with the most sports covered will receive [[Template:The Sports Barnstar|The Sports Barnstar]]

* Additionally, for every sport that receives at least 25 submissions in total, the participant with the most qualifying articles for that sport will receive a themed barnstar.

==Scoring system==
''All the different ways to earn points - still in construction''<br>
* The primary goal of this drive is to improve existing poor-quality sports biography articles. To qualify for points, the article should, prior to improvement, be either in a stub state{{efn|Any biography with under 1,500 bytes of readable prose is eligible.}} or have no significant coverage included.
'''Base points'''
* For every sports article having a [[WP:SIGCOV]] source added, thus satisfying [[WP:SPORTCRIT]], '''one''' ('''1''') point is awarded.{{efn|This only includes articles which had no prior sources of significant coverage.}}
** If two [[WP:SIGCOV]] sources are added, thus satisfying [[WP:GNG]], '''two''' ('''2''') points are awarded.
* '''Eight''' ('''8''') points are awarded for every article expanded significantly.
** To determine what a "significant" expansion counts as, we will use the [[WP:DYK]] criterion of 1,500 bytes of readable prose; for articles that begin with over 300 bytes of prose, the requirement will be a five-fold expansion of readable prose.
'''Bonus points'''
* Articles which were previously unreferenced will receive two times as many base points.
* If the article is a [[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]] (BLP), it will receive 1.5 times as many base points, and if the BLP was previously unreferenced, it will receive four times as many base points.
* If the article was created by [[User:Lugnuts|Lugnuts]], it will receive two times as many base points.
** If the article was one of Lugnuts' draftified creations, it will be worth four times as many base points.
* Articles created between 2015 and 2020 will receive '''one''' ('''1''') bonus point, while those created before 2015 will receive '''two''' ('''2''').

==Scoring example==
''Each user will have a submissions page – the user should list qualifying articles in either the "referencing" section (for adding significant coverage) or the "expansion" category. Articles can count for both. Along with the article name, the user should list the sport,{{efn|If a subject was active in multiple sports, the participant chooses one of them to list.}} if it was created by Lugnuts, and whether it is a BLP{{efn|Biography of a living person.}} and/or unreferenced, as shown below{{efn|The bonus for creation date will be checked by the judges.}}''
=== Example submissions ===
==== Referencing ====
# [[Albert Bechestobill]] (wrestling), Lugnuts, non-BLP
# [[John Hession]] (shooting), Lugnuts, non-BLP
# [[Sheldon Gaines]] (American football), BLP, unreferenced

==== Expansion ====
# [[Fred Narganes]] (wrestling), Lugnuts, non-BLP
# [[Henry Bell (American football)|Henry Bell]] (American football), BLP, unreferenced
# [[Douglas Godfree]] (fencing), Lugnuts (draftified), non-BLP
