<div class="afd-notice">
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ] is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to ] or whether it should be ].


The article will be discussed at ''']''' until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Hello, you deleted Goga Khuroshvili wikipedia. You were wrong. He has played in Under 20 world cup in 2016. Before that he was played in u17,18. In 2018 he was played Georgia XV in Tbilisi Cup, against Argentina XV and Brazil national team. Then he was selected in Georgia wide group. Then he played again in Georgia XV 2019 against Jaguares(2 testes). You think that it’s not enough achievements to have Misplaced Pages? ] (]) 20:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|James9821}}, None of these achievements would be enough for him to qualify for ]. Only test appearances for Georgia's national first team would count towards NRU, unless he played professionally at a notable club in a competition listed at NRU. He'd therefore have to pass the wider scope of GNG, and no sources were found to suggest he passed that. Hope this clears it up. ] (]) 20:13, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|James9821}}, It wasn't me who hosted the discussion anyway, that was another user. But if a player/person doesn't qualify for the guidelines then they are deemed not notable enough for a wikipedia article. Not every player is notable enough for an article. ] (]) 15:49, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rugbyfan22! Maybe you've noticed, maybe you've not, but an editor is making to the NPC pages (and has also done the same to Super Rugby articles and Heartland Championship articles). Some of them seem justified, like replacing all instances of "rugbybox collapsible" to un-collapsible rugbyboxes for reasons of accessibility. Some others are pretty trivial, like removing spaces from the code. However, some others just have to do with the personal preference of the editor and are unnecessary (for example, changing the parameter of a "home" game to "team1" and "away" game to "team2", although both work perfectly fine).
== Ethan de Groot ==


One of the changes causing problems is replacing the ] and ] with the name of the article those links go to. Like replacing <nowiki>{{Rus|Apollo Projects Stadium}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>], ]</nowiki>. This results in the old stadium name appearing in articles, instead of the one that is in use during this specific season, although it's technically the same venue. In my opinion, the articles should mention the name that is in use at the time. Similar: we call the Bunnings NPC the Bunnings NPC now, and it was Mitre 10 Cup, ITM Cup and Air NZ Cup previously. We're not going to change that in articles either. The "Auckland Blues"' name changed to Blues; we're not going to change that in older articles either.
Why did you change ethans birthplace back to gore? He wasn’t born there. ] (]) 10:53, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Boyfromgore28}}, because the updated birthplace was unsourced, if you have a source which states his birthplace then feel free to add. ] (]) 11:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)


If you can find the time, I'd like to ask you for your opinion. You can find my - quite frustrated - response to the editor . And here is an . Maybe you agree with that editor, maybe not, but I've lost all appetite for editing due to all his edits. ] (]) 02:08, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
He’s my brother. I think I would know haha ] (]) 12:04, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Boyfromgore28}}, Misplaced Pages still requires sourcing of information. His All Blacks profile is the only source to state a birthplace (despite it possibly being incorrect). If there's not another source which states his birthplace it should remain as this until sourcing can be found to prove otherwise, despite what you're saying. ] (]) 12:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)


:I agree that some of the changes are trivial and don't really make too much difference to the articles, but don't see any real harm in changing them if the editor wants to change them. They make no real difference to the articles. In terms of sponsored names for stadiums, it's my opinion that if sourcing for the specific season uses a specific stadium name then we should be using that name, as has been local consensus for Super Rugby, Currie Cup, NPC and other Southern Hemisphere competitions on Misplaced Pages since I have been editing. In Northern Hemisphere and other sports such as football it seems that using non-sponsored names is preferred, probably hence the changes, but as I said this is the way it has always been done since I've been involved in editing, although the majority of editors involved when I started no longer edit. ] (]) 09:08, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
== NPC founding years ==


==Concern regarding ]==
Hey mate, I can't seem to find the discussion there was to do with what year should be recorded for each ] team. I think to be less confusing to the casual reader, we should put the founding year the union was formed. As prior to 1976, some sides competed before then in such matches like the ] and local derbies. Also, it is from my understanding, most of the unions were created on the basis of fielding a men's representative side from the affiliated clubs. Cheers ] (]) 09:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|Kidsoljah}}, I put a discussion on the Rugby union WikiProject but didn't get any real responses. I'm happy to go with the actual foundation date, although the pages were created just for the NPC teams. Maybe a note needs to be added in the opening of the page about the founding of the NPC on all the team pages. I was under the impression though that the Ranfurly shield was going to continue to be linked to the historic union pages instead of the new team pages though. ] (]) 09:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I’d like to hear your thoughts on whether it makes sense to merge the two National Provincial Championship articles. I know this was discussed previously but ultimately rejected due to concerns about information overload. I believe combining them into a single article would benefit readers, similar to how other long-running domestic competitions are presented.

Hello - if I've understood the history correctly you have moved "https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Dorset_%26_Wilts_2_Central" which I created recently to Drafts. The reason given is that it doesn't have sources / references but there is a hyperlink on the page to the RFU Results website which shows this league exists and the teams involved etc. The only began in September so it is new - there are no previous winners or other third party information sources - this is community rugby in England, it doesn't get articles on well known websites or media attention. I don't know how else to prove it's genuine. The https://en.wikipedia.org/English_rugby_union_system page includes dozens of pages identical to this one, the only difference is most leagues have been in existence for some time.

== Hmm ==

Why are you changing all the updates I have made for all blacks players when they are about to play in 1 hour ] (]) 11:44, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|163.47.239.174}}, Changes shouldn't be made to caps until after match has been completed, not before. Some of these players could be withdrawn, or score points in the match. This is common policy across all sports. Also you should update the cap date section below in the infobox when making these changes. ] (]) 11:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

== Hmm ==

I follow every single game involving players that I’m making changes too, if they score points I update it as it happens, live. They will not be withdrawn as the final team sheet has been handed in and confirmed this is why I went through the starting 15 and added 1 cap per player, it shouldn’t have to wait until the game is complete as a player could play the first 30 seconds and then come off and that still counts as 1 cap. Cheers ] (]) 11:50, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|163.47.239.174}}, Misplaced Pages policy is to not update until after the event has been completed. This stops errors like duplication of appearances and points, especially if the cap update section hasn't been updated, as you haven't been doing. ] (]) 11:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

==Moana Pasifika, player eligibility and flag icons==

Hi Rugbyfan22, thanks for updating the squad on the {{Rut|Moana Pasifika}} page. I noticed that you have given players the flag icon of the country of their Pacific Island heritage, also when NZ born players are still eligible for New Zealand. I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it or is consistent with Wiki good practice. Examples are ], ], ] and ], but there may be more. As playing for Moana Pasifika - at this stage - doesn't alter a player's eligibility (or implies they have declared for their nation of heritage), I think that in case of NZ born players, the NZ flag icon should be used until they are no longer NZ eligible (under World Rugby Regulation 8). If it is considered desirable to indicate which PI nations these players are also eligible for, then maybe this could be indicated in a different way: (a) indicating after the player's name (between brackets) which PI nation he is eligible for; or (b) by using footnotes, a seperate paragraph or a table to indicate they are eligible for this or that PI nation. Interested in reading your response. Cheers!
:{{ping|Ruggalicious}}, Hi there, I did think about this a bit. Given they're meant to represent the Pacific Islands I thought it best to list nations they're eligible for as announced in the signing press releases. Obviously those that aren't eligible (Visinia and Fainga'anuku for example) I've left as NZ, but for Pacific islands eligible players I thought it best to list as them. I'm happy for them to be listed as NZ though, and given they're all contracted by NZ Rugby they could possibly be, just thought it would distinguish them from the other NZ sides a bit more. ] (]) 10:45, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Having had a good look at the squad table, I think the most elegant way of indicating a player's eligibility for his country of heritage (in addition to his eligibility for NZ as his country of birth) would be via an extra row in the table with the text (and the correct number of asterisks added to the players' names):<br />

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left; font-size:90%; width:70%"
|-
| colspan="100%" style="text-align:center;" | Uncapped player, also eligible under ] via the (grand)parent rule for: * Tonga; ** Samoa; *** Cook Islands etc. {{notelist|group="Squad"}}
|}

What do you think? I have no strong views on whether flag icons should be added in that extra last row of the table, but don't think it's necessary.
:{{ping|Ruggalicious}}, I feel that over complicates it slightly. There's quite a lot going on in these squad tables as it is (especially as the season progresses and you have short-term deals and what not), and so would cluster it more. I think it should just say NZ or the Pacific Island they're eligible for if they're uncapped and not captured personally. ] (]) 11:40, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't have to be added via the squad table. A short, extra paragraph in the same section is an option, too. I think information about players' elibility status is valuable, and possibly necessary, considering the specail nature of this team. I'll draft something tomorrow morning, if you like. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 11:55, 22 November 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

As Newington is a Kindergarten to Year 12 school the fact that James was only there for six years in The Senior School and that he didn’t attend one of the Preparatory Schools is indeed relevant father than notable.

::{{ping|SproulesLane}}, as I said in one of my edit summaries, there is nothing notable about the years he went to said school. Perhaps if he won a school title while playing rugby in a certain year (and it can be verified in a source) then that year could be stated, but it's not standard to put school year dates in articles such as these. ] (]) 10:02, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Mass edits to NPC articles

Hi Rugbyfan22! Maybe you've noticed, maybe you've not, but an editor is making mass changes to the NPC pages (and has also done the same to Super Rugby articles and Heartland Championship articles). Some of them seem justified, like replacing all instances of "rugbybox collapsible" to un-collapsible rugbyboxes for reasons of accessibility. Some others are pretty trivial, like removing spaces from the code. However, some others just have to do with the personal preference of the editor and are unnecessary (for example, changing the parameter of a "home" game to "team1" and "away" game to "team2", although both work perfectly fine).

One of the changes causing problems is replacing the Template:Rugby union team and Template:Rugby union stadium with the name of the article those links go to. Like replacing {{Rus|Apollo Projects Stadium}} with ], ]. This results in the old stadium name appearing in articles, instead of the one that is in use during this specific season, although it's technically the same venue. In my opinion, the articles should mention the name that is in use at the time. Similar: we call the Bunnings NPC the Bunnings NPC now, and it was Mitre 10 Cup, ITM Cup and Air NZ Cup previously. We're not going to change that in articles either. The "Auckland Blues"' name changed to Blues; we're not going to change that in older articles either.

If you can find the time, I'd like to ask you for your opinion. You can find my - quite frustrated - response to the editor here. And here is an older discussion. Maybe you agree with that editor, maybe not, but I've lost all appetite for editing due to all his edits. Ruggalicious (talk) 02:08, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree that some of the changes are trivial and don't really make too much difference to the articles, but don't see any real harm in changing them if the editor wants to change them. They make no real difference to the articles. In terms of sponsored names for stadiums, it's my opinion that if sourcing for the specific season uses a specific stadium name then we should be using that name, as has been local consensus for Super Rugby, Currie Cup, NPC and other Southern Hemisphere competitions on Misplaced Pages since I have been editing. In Northern Hemisphere and other sports such as football it seems that using non-sponsored names is preferred, probably hence the changes, but as I said this is the way it has always been done since I've been involved in editing, although the majority of editors involved when I started no longer edit.

Merging National Provincial Championship

I’d like to hear your thoughts on whether it makes sense to merge the two National Provincial Championship articles. I know this was discussed previously but ultimately rejected due to concerns about information overload. I believe combining them into a single article would benefit readers, similar to how other long-running domestic competitions are presented. This would provide a more streamlined resource, preventing duplication across two pages. Emulating something similar to the Australian Football League would make sense and easy to implement if fellow editors are on board. Kidsoljah (talk) 07:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Update Akira Ioane's Misplaced Pages article as information is outdated.

Please update Akira Ioane Misplaced Pages page as it's outdated. Thanks Power1345 (talk) 09:21, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

To Rugbyfan22 and Power1345: I do not make a habit of replying to requests on another editor's talk page without being asked to do so, but I was already working on an update of Akira Ioane's page, so it seems appropriate to make an exception. I have just finished and published that update.
By the way, it's good to keep an eye on this page, because editors keep on incorrectly changing his birthplace to Japan, while the player himself has stated he was born in Auckland and the text contains a reference to a source that also states that fact. Sources that say he was born in Japan are wrong! Ruggalicious (talk) 16:04, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
