[edit] Cricket Web

Not notable (45,473 on Alexa [1]). It doesn't seem an extraordinary website, nor particularly encyclopedic. Smoddy (_t^g_e^c_k) 14:37, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

3000+ forum members. We've more discussion that what takes place on Cricinfo, which is considered the God of cricket websites. You're welcome to verify that. We also have a very popular Fantasy Cricket tourney. Popasud

Cricket web is an excellent site on cricket. Its apalling how it an be considered for deletion. Pratyush

• Websites are not inherently encyclopedic, not even forums with 3000+ members. If it is an excellent source of information for the game of cricket, then add it as an external link in the article about the sport. Delete the entry about the website itself. Arkyan 01:00, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Concur, delete. Radiant_* 08:47, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Yep, it's informative, so stick it in the cricket article. Unfortunately, the evidence others have provided here, leads me to believe the site itself isn't significant enough for inclusion. Mgm|^(talk) 12:12, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This sort of argument shows a failure to grasp the category system. The cricket article is a general intro. As I know the game inside out, and the article looks pretty good already, I haven't bothered to read it yet. I will categorise the article. Wincoote 20:24, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I have not the first idea about the relevance of the category system. We are debating deleting an article about a website which is not notable or significant. Could you explain the above comment? I haven't bothered to read it yet? Smoddy (_t^g_e^c_k) 22:05, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I mean I haven't bothered to read the general cricket article. We shouldn't try to dump all sorts of info in a general article when the category system provides a better organisation method. Wincoote 01:52, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, website ad. Megan1967 05:16, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I am a cricket fan myself, but I leaning towards delete as it is not that notable as say cricinfo or stickcricket. Squash 08:28, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dont delete : The web site covers cricket very comprehensively having reports of every test and one day international match, ground, player information and country sections. It has select audiences which go on the web site for cricket related news. Its far more in depth than some other cricket related web sites apart from cricinfo user:pratyush
