UNITED STATES X MEXICO WOMEN'S FINAL IFAF AMERICAS FLAG CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023. Game Highlights. FABR Highlights. 7 January 2025. Archived from the original on 18 August 2025. Retrieved 16 August 2025. - Titles should not be in all caps per MOS:ALLCAPS. This also applies to ref #s 37 and 40. Also I'm not too convinced this would be okay to use as a source per WP:RSPYT. Would you be able to establish that FABR Highlights is a notable news organization? Otherwise we may have to delete this. According to their video description apparently the video is found in IFAF.TV so perhaps you can look there to see if we can find it? That would be perfectly fine to use since we can establish IFAF's notability.

Contreras has worked to promote the sport of flag football in Mexico. She runs a YouTube channel called De FLAG con Silvia,[42] - Are you able to estbalish that she is actually running her YouTube video and it's not someone else posting on her behalf? I saw that reliable sources have talked about her FB page, but I couldn't find any confirming her YouTube channel is ran by her too. I tried looking in her FB page to see if she had her YouTube handle there somewhere but didn't find it. I worry we may have to delete since we cannot establish a true connection (FB link is totally fine since it has gotten third-party coverage).

Unfortunately, I might have to agree with you on this. I can't find anything at all mentioning her channel. I'm not even sure how I found it myself. JTtheOG (talk) 07:50, 18 June 2026 (UTC)  Done I have removed the mention of her channel. JTtheOG (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

"Silvia Contreras". Invictus Gloves. Retrieved 16 August 2025. - Not the best of sources given its a glove store in Canada. Would you be able to establish that this is a trustworthy publisher or perhaps cite this fact with another (better) source?

It appears like she is sponsored by the company, which seems like a reputable enterprise. Aside from Contreras, they also sponsor many of the top flag football players in the world, and even NFL players like Benjamin St-Juste and Devin Funchess. They also have notable ambassadors like Danny Woodhead. I'm wondering if this would be sufficient to use, especially to source the 2022 club national title, which I am otherwise only able to verify with a photo (allll the way down in "Profesional Femenil"). JTtheOG (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

That's helpful context. I'm OK with us keeping the source now that you've shared this rationale which establishes it is notable/reliable. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 02:00, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Héroes Deportivos MX - For the record, I don't think Héroes Deportivos MX (the publisher) is a reliable source. Their entire site is down now but fortunately we have the archived version of her page. I found them on FB and found out in their about me description that they personalize these profiles for people, meaning people pay to be featured here and this would fall under promotional sources (WP:SPONSORED). I'm inclined to not use it here unless you have a different and good take for this. If we can find better sources let me know.

• Comment - I'm fine keeping it for the DOB claim. What I'm concerned are the accomplishments which there's no way to independently verify. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 01:24, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

• @JTtheOG: In case you didn't see the comments above. Z1720 (talk) 02:06, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks for the ping. I'll work on this promptly. JTtheOG (talk) 19:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

  @JTtheOG: Any update? I see you active across other articles but not here. Please confirm if you can get this done before the weekend, otherwise I'll have to close this nom out. We typically keep articles on hold for 7 days before making a decision. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 22:16, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

  Yes. Just as I said when I pinged you yesterday without a response, I will be completing this today. Thank you, JTtheOG (talk) 23:04, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

  Cool - Thanks for adding the  Done tick to the bullet points. I'll use that to know when you've completed them. If you have any questions or comments let me know. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 17:41, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks, I did have the question about the Invictus source and the infobox section, both above. I'm also open to suggestions for the lead! JTtheOG (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

  I think this lead reads well now. Leads are tough! You can also run a prompt on Claude where you ask it to do bullet points of all the major points of the article, and then see if you hit all those with the lead that you've made (this is more of a future recommendation). Or you can write the lead and then ask Claude to see if there's anything it recommends you add. Give it a limit in terms of size (i.e. one paragraph, 4-5 sentences, without going into too much detail).

  Anyways, I see a few more things needed to be addressed so I'll be on standby! Thanks for the work done so far. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 02:05, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

  Sounds good, thanks. I just added a few bits as well. JTtheOG (talk) 02:52, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

  Aside from your new comments, I think I've addressed everything except for the issue with the FABR Highlights video. JTtheOG (talk) 05:58, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

  I'm wondering if this is the video? If it is, we can cite this one. We cannot use the YouTube one because they don't own the copyright per their description. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 16:53, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

  @Morogris: Nice find! I checked and it indeed verifies the information, so I've replaced the YouTube source. Really sorry about my tardiness and thanks for taking on such a challenging article on an emerging sport. Please let me know if you have anything else and I'll address them asap. JTtheOG (talk) 04:15, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

  All good now! Article meets the GA standards. Congratulations! Morogris (✉ • ✎) 14:12, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
