Draft:Joel Fahey (Wii Sports Player)

Submission declined on 28 July 2025 by S0091 (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Joel Fahey is a video game player known for achieving the maximum skill level in all five original games of Wii Sports — Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing — on July 28, 2025. This feat, considered rare and highly challenging among Wii Sports players, places Fahey among the few to have completed what fans often call the "Wii Sports Grand Slam."

Career

Joel Fahey gained recognition in the Wii Sports community for his consistent performance and skill across all five original titles. The Wii Sports games, released in 2006 by Nintendo for the Wii console, each have a maximum skill level of 2399 (or "Pro" status depending on the sport). Fahey reached the cap in all five games, a goal few players have documented.

Recognition

While not officially recognized by Nintendo, Fahey’s accomplishment has been acknowledged by fans and Wii Sports enthusiasts as one of the most difficult completions in the game.
