Scope

This taskforce covers...

The full list can be found here.
  • However, if the variant of football is already covered by its own project/taskforce within Wikipedia, do the following:
  • Add the categories to the main article's talk page. (See Assessment for more details.)
  • If there is an article relating to the history of the sport, put the categories on their talk page as well.
Do not use {{Football}}. Not only would it be covered by the categories, but it may cause some controversy. Although more publicity for this task force is good, I don't think that is the kind we want.

Participants

Wikipedians interested in participating should add themselves to the bottom of the list.

Guidelines

Club notability

Per Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Teams and clubs, teams are required to meet the general notability guideline. The following guidance may indicate at what level teams generally have enough coverage to meet the GNG.

Teams that have played in the national cup (or the national tier(s) of the league structure in countries where no cup exists or in the countries whose national cup does not include all teams who play in the national league(s)) generally meet WP:GNG criteria. Teams that are not eligible for national cups must be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria.

Country-specific criteria:

League notability

  • Leagues whose teams are eligible for national cups are generally notable.
  • Leagues that are a country's highest level are generally notable.
  • Other leagues are assumed non-notable unless they can be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria.
