A well-known athlete I represent qualifies for an encyclopedic entry and already meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines through multiple independent, reliable sources (press coverage, league statistics, award write-ups, etc.). I need a seasoned Wikipedia contributor to take these materials and turn them into a live, fully compliant biography.
Your work will involve:
• Researching and verifying all existing coverage for accuracy and neutrality.
• Drafting the article in your sandbox, structuring it to Wikipedia standards (lead section, career history, statistics, references, infobox, categories).
• Adding properly formatted citations (news outlets, reputable sports databases, interviews) while avoiding primary or promotional links.
• Submitting the draft through Articles for Creation (AfC) or publishing directly if you have the permissions, then monitoring for a short period to handle any immediate flags.
Acceptance criteria:
• Page passes AfC review or survives initial patrol without speedy deletion tags.
• Content remains neutral, reliably sourced, and free of conflict-of-interest wording.
• All references use with correct templates; no external-link spam.
• Final URL is shared with me alongside the full wikitext backup.
Please note: I expect strict adherence to Wikipedia’s verifiability, notability, and biography of living persons (BLP) policies. Let me know your experience level, example pages you’ve successfully published, and the estimated timeline to move from draft to live publication.
