Doesn't seem to be any good third party sourcing for this - and it 's also a COI edit mess Golikom (talk) 12:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been written from a bias point of view. I have tried to correct it by

1. Attempting to remove information that is not proven (eg: the statement that said that the structure of the board is unclear, and the qualification process is unclear).

2. Reworded statements made from the APU (eg the statement about us leaving the ipf)

3. Included details about what SSA has recently done, including Kettlebell events.

4. Made a statement regarding its stance on drugs.

5. Remove irrelevant information about the position of World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation and being Signatory (it is irrelevant).

6. Noted that we were the 3rd nation that has left the IPF in recent years. USAPL and Powerlifting Australia being the other 2.

7. Added Strength Sports Australia's first competitions (it is now SSA, so very relevant)

8. Our international competitions are now with WDFPF, as it is now an SSA page, IPF is not our international body.

9. Only include world records if they are held while under APU or SSA.

Those changes are reasonable, and no biased.

As this page is not going to be managed without releasing the issues among the sport as a whole, yes it should be closed. Gorani!007 (talk) 09:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)— Gorani!007 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Golikom has removed parts due to not being sourced. However, this is not consistent with what I have seen on other pages. For example, Please go to Australian Powerlifting Alliance. Remove the links that are applied on Australian Powerlifting Alliance to their company webpage. They referenced from a non-3rd party on reference 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14.

The NRL (National Rugby League) page has references to its own webpage for news.

Golikom has advised that he has no conflict of interest and no relationship with any other Powerlifting organisation. In pursuit of fairness, I ask that Golikom address the Australian Powerlifting Alliance and NRL page with the same assertiveness as he did with our page.

Delete no evidence this passes WP:GNG, as the sources here are not independent, significant coverage. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
