Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Marcus Rhodes (rugby) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify ‹See TfM›|some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The ‹See TfM›|some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.

'I don’t know how interested you are about rugby just so you i don’t know him . I got interested in him when he was trolled on social media post his 75 cap celebration .
As several people in my friendship group were either at school or university with him or knew others who were I stated to investigate. Eg asking my friends why is this guy getting a hard time on insta etc
My understanding from my non sourced investigation.
School
His school sports career started in the B team . When he told the head of rugby that he wanted to be professional rugby player he was laughed out of court publicly, and told he was fat ( at 13 or 14)
A couple of other inputs were “not your typical jock “ and “he was a solid guy and a good bloke” and “ loud and funny in class however worked hard and humble compared to other players but determined and driven. “ Carlton2002 (talk) 09:43, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Carlton2002, I did respond to your question on my user page but I was doing more research. Poking around, I found that there was an old version of the same article that you were working on that was deleted following the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcus Rhodes (rugby union). I'll note that the discussion there found him not notable, as a result of looking at the citations and available sources.
I've restored the content to your sandbox, and I went through the citations and looked at whether or not they demonstrate notability. Please find my assessment of them on the talk page User talk:Carlton2002/sandbox §Source assessment. You'll see that a lot of the sources used aren't useful in demonstrating notability as Wikipedia defines it.
Specifically, you need to demonstrate the criteria of either WP:ANYBIO, WP:NBASIC, or the WP:GNG. You're welcome to use the sandbox content to aid in writing or better understanding why the citations fall short. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Much appreciated …i really mean this
I'm still getting the hang of this as I'm using iPad it's not as easy …I'll go through in detail later (medical stuff)
As for not notable I thought playing for his country at both u20 level and university would be noticeable as well as 77 caps for DURFC all starts the most by 25 of all super bucs players in history!!! I see other players who haven't done as much listed ….anyway I don't want the trolls on social media to win and I'm sure I can find the best sources when I'm feeling better Carlton2002 (talk) 15:29, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
No worries, happy to help. Sorry to hear about your health.
Yes, notability on Wikipedia is a different framework to understand when it's based on sourcing and not necessarily what teams someone has played for, as one might assume initially. As for other articles, there are many reasons why one may exist and its possible no one has seen it yet, each article and subject is assessed on its own merit, this is brought up from time to time when people discuss deleting other articles, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
In particular, it is less about the quantity and more about the quality. If you can find 3 sources that discuss Rhodes himself in depth from an editorial standpoint, then those 30-some-odd other sources may be used to support other things, if appropriate. Notability is its own issue in the article, separate from content.
As for the internet trolls, it's best if you can ignore them. While it may be a disappointment that the subject does not qualify for a Wikipedia article, playing at a high level is an accomplishment of its own.
Marcus Rhodes (born 24 October 2001) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a number 8 for RFU Championship club Coventry RFC. He holds the BUCS Super Rugby record for both the most appearances and the most starts, with 77, having started every single game from his first appearance in his debut season.[1]
==Early life and education==
He started his Wellington College school career in the second fifteen but broke into the first XV, being a key part of the NatWest U15 Schools Cup winning squad in 2016/17, beating Warwick School 25–12 at Twickenham Stadium.[2][3] He was then a key member of the Wellington College U18 1st XV that won the RFU Champions Trophy in consecutive years, beating Epsom College 24–16 at Allianz Park in 2018,[4][5] and Rugby School 43–19 at the same venue in 2019, making Wellington College the first school to win the Champions Trophy in consecutive years.[6][7]
==Club career==
===London Irish (2019–2022)===
Rhodes joined the London Irish academy while at Wellington College, Berkshire, switching from prop to number 8. He played in the 2019/20 Premiership Rugby U18 League, with London Irish reaching the final against Leicester Tigers on 16 February 2020 at Sixways Stadium, Worcester. He scored London Irish's second try making it 12–7, with the match ending 22–22 and the trophy shared.[8][9][10] He was selected for the England U18 squad but the programme was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] He was promoted to the Senior Academy in October 2020[11] and included in the senior squad for the 2021–22 Gallagher Premiership season.[12] He departed in May 2022 to go to university, as the club was struggling financially before eventually winding up later that year.[13]
