WikiProject Football was featured in a WikiProject Report in the Signpost on 3 March 2008.

This WikiProject was featured on the WikiProject report at the Signpost on 9 July 2012.

On 4 August 2022, it was proposed that this page be moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Association football. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Request for input.

This is the second time this RM is being done, and there is hardly any input. Could someone please contribute? here it is. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I think that Kathrin Lehmann (footballer) should be merged to Kathrin Lehmann. As she played Ice hockey and professional football, I don't see why she should have two separate articles. I have started a debate at Talk:Kathrin Lehmann. Dwanyewest (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why she should have two separate articles: the only reason she has 2 separate articles is because you created the football one yesterday without checking the original. How about you clear up your own mess rather waste other people's time? Spike 'em (talk) 17:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've speedy deleted the 'footballer' article, as it duplicates an existing topic. Dwayne, please be more careful in future. Giant Snowman 18:25, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2005–06 UEFA Cup knockout stage

I noticed that, on 2005–06 UEFA Cup knockout stage article, the link to SK Slavia Prague had a different link titled SK Slavia Praha which is against WP:EN. It was apparently supported by a template that I don't know the name of. Can anyone make it like [[SK Slavia Prague|Slavia Prague]] instead of [[SK Slavia Praha|Slavia Prague]]? Thanks! ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 14:45, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Clariniie: Done (was only 1 time as far as i can see). Kante4 (talk) 15:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wayne Bridge

It seems that Bridge has been involved in a spat with a so called internet personality KSI which has been bigged up into several sections in Bridge’s article. Can his “boxing career” be trimmed to a mention in the Personal life section? Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 10:31, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I am also surprised that the (now cancelled) “fight” warrants a standalone article (KSI vs Wayne Bridge) can this now be prodded for deletion.Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 10:35, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issues with it being a separate section. Giant Snowman 18:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability question

I created this article: Draft:Lucas Jetten, but it was moved into draft space because apparently it wasn't notable. I always thought that if a player made their debut in a fully professional league then we could create an article about them. Is that no longer the case? There's a bunch of players who've made their professional debut who I wanted to create articles about, but I'd like to be sure those articles aren't going to be deleted. Gman83 (talk) 07:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gman83: - that hasn't been the case since 2018 -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. It only stopped being a thing in 2024. Muur (talk) 15:30, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Upon double checking in the correct place as opposed to the wrong one, the relevant edit would seem to be this one from 2022. Regardless, it isn't a thing any more, which is the main thing -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Walker

Hi, would someone mind reverting the recent changes at Kyle Walker? His move to AC Milan is reportedly close but hasn't been completed yet. I'd do so myself but I'm on three reverts. Thanks. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Giant Snowman 21:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
