Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Golf

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Golf. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Golf|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Golf. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Sports.

I don't think this person is notable enough. I couldn't find enough reliable sources to prove its notability. فيصل (talk) 01:13, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

• Comment. Of all nation-states, Qatar has the lowest proportion of women biographies: under 8%, according to humaniki. It feels like there's some WP:Systemic bias here, which was why I created the page. Dsp13 (talk) 11:40, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  Qatar is also less than 30% women, and there are significant structural reasons that would explain why very few Qatari women become notable. Unless she has SIGCOV in multiple IRS sources, at least one of which must be cited in the article, there shouldn't be a standalone page for her. JoelleJay (talk) 20:10, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  The latter two sentences are also clear copyvio from the source, which has a very strong warning about reproducing its content. JoelleJay (talk) 20:15, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

• Comment I have found and added an article from the South China Morning Post, titled "Al-Sowaidi case highlights HK's folly in failing to send any golfers". It describes her amazingly low score, and that she finished last in a field of 24 in the women's individual competition. I wonder if there would be similar coverage to Eric the Eel. I have tried searching variants in the spelling of her name, and searching on her name in Arabic. One Arabic source, raya.com [1] says (according to Google Translate) "93 players participated in the tournament, the most prominent of whom was Shurooq Al Suwaidi, the first Qatari player to participate in the Asian Golf Championships, and she tried to prove her presence despite the high levels of the Asian champions, specifically South Korea." She is often mentioned as the first woman to represent Qatar internationally, but whether that resulted in what we would consider SIGCOV, I don't know. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:52, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
